Abstract
Synthesis of a stable form of exfoliated graphite (EG) is described. EG was prepared from the Graphite Intercalation Compound (GIC) fluorine-graphite using an atmospheric-pressure 27.12 MHz inductively coupled argon plasma. T he fluorinated graphite dust is continuously injected into the argon plasma (5000-8000 K), and collected. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron mic roscopy (SEM) images are used to identify nanotubular structures at the ter minals of the EG graphite sheets. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
