Graphite Oxidation Behavior: NRC Graphite Behavior Model
Graphite microstructure and oxidation Graphite crystal structure and basal planes Reactive surface area sites Zig-zag and Arm-chair Pore microstructure effects Interconnectivity Reactivity and oxygen transport Oxygen-graphitereaction Not C-O reaction! Temperature effects Oxygen diffusion to graphite Diffusion into the microstructure High temperature vs low temperature diffusion Oxidation: It’s a gradient of factors
