Effect of graphite oxide on graphitization of furan resin carbon

Graphite oxide (GO) was used to accelerate the graphitization of furan resin carbon. The effects of the GO content and the heat-treatment temperature (HTT) on the graphitization of furan resin carbon were investigated. The X-ray diffraction results indicate that the graphitization extent of furan resin carbon increases with the increase of the GO content and the HTT. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
