ABSTRACT

A number of new graphite nitrate cointercalation compounds with organic substances such as esters, ethers, ketones, carboxylic acids, and others were synthesized. A characteristic of these compounds stability was suggested. New low-temperature wet chemistry method for producing carbon nanoscrolls was proposed. The method is based on the use of readily available acceptor-type graphite intercalation compounds. Initial graphite intercalation compound is first exfoliated to produce a suspension of separate graphene monolayers, which is subsequently sonicated yielding a final product—carbon nanoscrolls.
