Abstract
The graphitic nature of carbonaceous materials allows its application as anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) as it governs. The graphitic nature of carbonaceous materials manages the distribution of the intercalated Li+ ions and where could be hosted to form the lithiated graphitic compound LixCn. In this work, a series of graphite oxides (GOs) were synthesized following the Hummer method, followed by a hydrothermal reduction. The reduced graphite oxides (RGOs) were elementally, physically and electrochemically investigated. The electrochemical behavior for each RGO as anode material for LIB was studied using the cyclic voltammogram (CV). The interlayer distance d002 for each RGO was correlated with the slope and the length of the anodic voltage plateau region for each RGO. The length of the anodic voltage plateau regions and their slopes change inversely and sequentially with d002 . This relation secures a new application for the electrochemical properties of the graphitic material, which could be used as a rapid test to estimate the interlayer distance d002 in-between the adjacent graphene layers.
