C-14 labelled graphite has been used to demonstrate that positively charged ions (probably CO\*+) play a significant role in the oxidation of graphite by ~-radiolysed carbon dioxide. About 40 per cent of the total reactivity is attributed to ions.

โฆ Synopsis
Graphite samples have been exposed to carbon dioxide irradiated with ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Observations made in an electron microscope of selected areas of graphite before and after exposure to oxidizing species show, at one end of the scale, complete resistance to attack and, at the other, complete oxidation. The extent of attack and rate of attack have been found to depend on several factors, the most important being, gas composition, temperature, dose, and the defect structure and impurity content of the graphite. Attack is limited to well defined regions of the graphite. The results show that the oxidation produces non-gaseous products which are deposited on the graphite surface and there is evidence that this deposition frequently occurs at defects and impurity atoms in the graphite.
