摘要

The process for producing carbon insertion compound by etching an anode (4) constituted of pure amorphous carbon during electrolysis of a base solution in water contained in an electrolytic cell (1), comprises filling the electrolytic cell with the base solution having a temperature of 80[deg] C, connecting the anode to the positive pole of an external electrical current generator (5) and placing a cathode (3) at mass potential, and applying a positive voltage of 35 V with respect to the anode terminal to the surface on which the carbon insertion compound is formed. The process for producing carbon insertion compound by etching an anode (4) constituted of pure amorphous carbon during electrolysis of a base solution in water contained in an electrolytic cell (1), comprises filling the electrolytic cell with the base solution having a temperature of 80[deg] C, connecting the anode to the positive pole of an external electrical current generator (5) and placing a cathode (3) at mass potential, applying a positive voltage of 35 V with respect to the anode terminal to the surface on which the carbon insertion compound is formed, applying pre-determined current-voltage parameters to the anode terminal using the generator, and monitoring the parameters until the complete dissolution of the anode into carbon. The cell comprises a tank (2), electrodes comprising the cathode and the anode, and the external electrical current generator connected to the electrodes. The average current supplied by the generator is 3.5 Ampere, and the voltage signal generated by the generator is square type with a frequency of 1 KHz and a cyclic ratio of 20%. The base solution has a concentration of 3 mol/l. An independent claim is included for a device for producing carbon insertion compound.
