Description:

(abstract)

We report a detailed mechanistic investigation of iron catalysed graphitization of cellulose by Fe(NO3)3 and FeCl3. In situ small and wide angle X-ray scattering and electron microscopy show that the evolution of catalyst particles from the two salts follows very different pathways. Remarkably, graphitization by FeCl3 is an order of magnitude faster than by Fe(NO3)3.
