Abstract

K-SGICs(synthetic graphite intercalation compounds) were synthesized in a modified two-bulb pyrex tube. The pressure in the two-bulb tube was maintained at approximately <TEX>$10^{-3}$</TEX> torr for the reaction of potassium and graphite. Deintercalation process of the K-SGlCs obtained by the modified method was heat-treated by keeping in liquid paraffin between <TEX>$25^{\circ}C$</TEX> and <TEX>$1400^{\circ}C$</TEX>. The thermal stability and the temperature dependence of the K-SGICs were characterized using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) analyzer. Enthalpy and entropy for K-SGIC formations were calculated by confirming the deintercalation and thermodynamic exothermic reactions depending on the various temperatures. The structure changes and thermal stability of K-SGICs during the deintercalation reaction of potassium ions and the interlayer spaces of the synthetic graphite were identified by X-ray diffraction(XRD).
