The paper considers the problems of obtaining the new electrode materials used in the electric power sources. The electrode material was prepared by anodic electrophoretic deposition in an alkaline medium of graphite nanosized particles. Nanoscale carbon phase was obtained by graphite foil anodic polarization in sulfuric acid followed by ultrasonic dispersing of the obtained powder. Electrophoretic coatings were deposited on a stainless steel electrode at applied potentials in the range of 5-10 V. The dependence of the anodic current density and specific capacity of the deposited film is linear on the anode potential. The method of FT-IR spectroscopy to study the properties of the surface of the obtained film was used. It was shown that as a result of electrophoresis the sufficiently strong reduction of surface oxygen-containing groups represented mainly phenolic groups occurs. The optimal value of the potential for deposition of electrophoretic films - 5 V, for a given value after 5 min of electrophoresis formed film thickness is 430 nm with a minimum content of oxygen-containing surface groups. Electrochemical properties of the resulting films were determined with a cyclic voltammetry in an acidic medium. It was found that at value of the potential sweep rate of 20 mV/s the specific film capacity was 117 F/g.Forcitation:Bratkov I.V., Yudina T.F., Mel'nikov A.G., Ershova T.V., Filimonov D.A.

The data on the electrochemical and electro catalytic properties of natural (NG), oxidized (OG), thermo expanded (TWG) graphite and graphite oxide (GO) are presented. The evaluation of the electrocatalytic activity of graphites for the reduction of dioxygen in an alkaline solution was carried out. The effective number of electrons for the given process was determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
