By means of cyclic voltammetry, a study of the redox reactions has been made on stage 1 sulfuric acid-graphite intercalation compound (H,SO,-GIC) prepared by anodic oxidation of graphite in sulfuric acid electrolyte. It was found that further oxidation of the stage 1 GIC gives rise to the reversible

β¦ Synopsis
Benzene-derived carbon fiber (BDF) and mesophase-pitch carbon fiber (MPPCF) were intercalated with H2S04 by the electrochemical method and the stage characteristics observed on the potential curve. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering studies indicate that stage I, 2, 3, and 4 H$O,-graphite fiber intercalation compounds (GFICs) have been obtained. The intercalation is homogeneous along the fiber axis for MPPCF, but is not for BDF. The stability of H2S04-GFICs is poorer than that of HzS04graphite intercalation compounds (GICs).

Raman spectra of graphite fibers intercalated with K, Rb and Cs are reported. X-Ray diffraction is used to characterize the fibers with respect to staging. We report results mainly for GY70, a highly graphitic commercially available fiber, which is polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based, and some results on
mesophase spherules. Moreover they would be useful as characterization factors for the carbonization properties of the samples. Further research is in progress to determine the relation between the kinetic parameters and the mesophase texture. The results will be reported elsewhere.
