On the oxidation of electrolytic carbon nanomaterials
Source abstract
Abstract
The non-isothermal oxidation behaviour of molten salt electrolytically produced carbon material in air has been studied using various thermal analysis techniques, complemented by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. It was observed that the oxidation of the carbon nanostructures in the electrolytic carbon material proceeds at considerably lower temperatures than those typically needed for the oxidation of carbon nanomaterials. This has been attributed to the effect of lithium carbonate crystals that were found to be located on the walls of the carbon nanostructures. The results are of importance to understanding the properties of, and identifying suitable applications for, this new material.
