Possible Mechanism of Thermal Reduction of Graphite Oxide
- 1. Russian Academy of Sciences, Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics (Russian Federation)
Description
A mechanism for the thermal reduction of graphite oxide is proposed. The process begins with the homolysis of the C–C bond in the basal plane of graphite oxide with subsequent reactions of isomerization of the formed radicals. The formation of both CO and a significant amount of CO2 was explained to occur via the cleavage of 1,3-dioxetane, which forms by the disproportionation and recombination of free radicals.
