Description/Abstract

Standard graphite TIMREX(R) SLX 50 was oxidised at 500-800 °C under air atmosphere in a muffle and a rotary furnace. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) were used to study the changes in surface morphology and crystallinity. The results show a slight increase of the La value and a decrease of the rhombohedral fraction with increased heat-treatment temperature (HTT). XRD measurements show no significant change in La values within the bulk of graphite samples. Above 700 °C SEM images of graphite reveals holes and cavities, whereas heat-treatment temperatures below 700 °C do not significantly affect graphite materials parameters.
