Abstract
A stable blister free flexible graphite is formed in accordance with the present invention by performing two chemical reactions including a first step of high temperature heat treatment which converts the active carbon surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and generates active surface sites and a second step of exposing the heat treated graphite to a stabilizing reagent for stabilizing the active sites generated by the first step of high temperature heat treatment.
