Abstract
Graphite oxide is a very hygroscopic compound and can accommodate up t o 12wt% of water in its structure. Specific treatments afforded deriva tives that present definitely no affinity for water and in which the h ydroxy/epoxy ratio may be modified according to the treatment. These g raphite oxide derivatives were characterized by X-ray powder diffracti on, and IR and NMR spectroscopies. Electrochemical measurements were p erformed with these compounds as cathode material in liquid electrolyt e lithium batteries.
