Abstract:The surface of commercial carbon black was modified by pyrolysis of acetonitrile in attempt to obtain the graphitic carbon coating layer. It was confirmed that the surface of carbon black was partially graphitized, having 0.23 of graphitization index and 1.87 nm of mean stack height. From the electrochemical oxidation test of carbon, the carbon-coated carbon black showed higher corrosion resistance than the untreated carbon black although the core of the carbon black support still remained untreated. When it w… Show more
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.
