Ball-milling: the behavior of graphite as a function of ...
The ball milling of graphite in the presence of a liquid leads to very thin, well-crystallized and anisometric particles. In the presence of water, the graphite particles are covered by γ Fe 2 O 3 (maghemite) formed by the oxidation of the ferrous alloy coming from the milling tools. This composite presents interesting electrochemical properties.
