Effect of boron on graphite oxidation — a theoretical study

Structural Characterization of Boron-doped Submicron Vapor-grown Carbon Fibers and Their Anode Performance

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14] Generally, it is agreed that a small number of boron atoms can enter the graphite lattice through a substitution reaction, possibly changing the microstructure of the original carbon material. 15,16 In particular, it has been reported that the use of boron-doped carbon materials as an anode material in lithium ion batteries shows good cyclic efficiency and a little higher capacity than that of undoped carbon materials.…”

Role of nuclear grade graphite in controlling oxidation in modular HTGRs

“…The effect on the oxidation rate depends upon the impurity type and the content of the impurity. Generally most metals are catalysts for the oxidation of graphite while non-metals or materials exhibiting non-metallic behavior are known inhibitors 41,412 . Most metals enhance the graphite-oxygen reaction by facilitating a faster path for oxygen transfer to the RSA sites, increasing the overall oxidation rate.…”

Synthesis and characterization of boron substituted carbon deposits on PFA-derived carbon substrates for hydrogen adsorption

“…Chung's material had an initial heat of adsorption of 12.47 kJ/mol and an average heat of adsorption on 11.5 kJ/mol. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is another way to incorporate substantial amounts of boron into the carbon lattice [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Thrower and coworkers, and later Pantano and coworkers synthesized and studied physical properties of BC x films.…”

“…Thrower and coworkers, and later Pantano and coworkers synthesized and studied physical properties of BC x films. In particular, they studied antioxidation effects of BC x coatings on carbon fibers [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The reactions were typically carried out at temperatures above 700 ºC with a reactant mixture composed of a carbon precursor (e.g.…”

“…26.5° is attributed to the d 002 spacing between planes of the graphitic structure. The full width half max (FWHM) of the peak is invers carbon sample in the L c direction.…”
