Abstract
The influence of intercalation and exfoliation on the electron density of graphene layers and the defect subsystem of natural graphites was investigated by positron lifetime spectroscopy. In natural graphites. two positron annihilation channels with tau1 = 154-228 ps and tau2 = 3 78-615 ps were observed. Intercalation and exfoliation generate a thir d channel with tau3 = 1.87-2.18 ns caused by positronium annihilation of defects. The effect of pressing on the annihilation parameters was studied, and an analysis of experimental results carried out.
