Synthesis of graphite by extraction of iron from iron carbide by chlorine is reported in this work. This process is attractive because it can produce well-ordered graphite at temperatures as low as 600 °C, providing an opportunity for low-temperature solid-state synthesis. Thermodynamic simulation was used to determin…
