Abstract
Electrochemical anodization of graphite in trifluoroacetic media, when performed with a sufficiently high current density, leads to exfoliat ion of graphite. This reaction has been studied using X-ray diffractom etry, A.C Impedance Spectroscopy and gas analysis in various experimen tal conditions. A mechanism is proposed based on a Kolbe reaction occu ring in the interlayer spacings.
