Аннотация:Electrochemical oxidation and exchange intercalation, have been used for the production of graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) with hexachloroplatinic acid. Ternary GICs H2PtCl6-HNO3-graphite and H2PtCl6-H2SO4-graphite have been synthesized by the incomplete exchange reaction between the parent HNO3 and H2SO4 GICs and hexachloroplatinic acid. Irrespective of the precursor GIC stage, stage-2 GIC with H2PtCl6 has been obtained. Attempted synthesis of the single-phase stage-2 GIC via the electrochemical oxidation of graphite in H2PtCl6 solutions failed since mixtures of the target products with pure graphite have resulted in all cases. The structure and properties of the samples obtained have been examined by XRD, SEM, TG-DTG, TG coupled with FTIR and EXAFS-XANES. GIC samples were preheated to 200 degrees C to produce exfoliation (caused by deintercalation of nitric acid), and reduced either with boiling 5% aqueous formaldehyde or hydrogen. This approach gives rise to exfoliated graphite material with platinum nanoclusters distributed on the surface. In contrast to the most other work particles with open surfaces were obtained.
