The effect of alkyl chain length on the structure of pillared carbons prepared by the silylation of graphite oxide with alkyltrichlorosilanes Original Research Article

Pillared carbon was obtained from graphite oxide silylated with alkyltrichlorosilanes with various alkyl chain lengths. The interlayer spacings of silylated graphite oxides became maximal when 1.1–1.5 molecules of bound silyl groups were attached per C8 g
