Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), commonly called monoammonium phosphate (MAP) is a chemical compound with formula . It is a white crystalline solid consisting of ammonium cations and dihydrogen phosphate anions in equal proportions. ADP is a major ingredient of agricultural fertilizers and some fire extinguishers. It also has significant uses in optics and electronics. Monoammonium phosphate is soluble in water and crystallizes from it as the anhydrous salt in the tetragonal system, as elongated prisms or needles. It is practically insoluble in ethanol. Solid monoammonium phosphate can be considered stable in practice for temperatures up to 200
Graphite oxide Graphite oxide Graphite oxide, formerly called graphitic oxide or graphitic acid, is a compound of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen in variable ratios, obtained by treating graphite with strong oxidizers. The maximally oxidized bulk product is a yellow solid with C:O ratio between 2.1 and 2.9, that retains the layer structure of graphite but with a much larger and irregular spacing. The bulk material disperses in basic solutions to yield monomolecular sheets, known as graphene oxide by analogy to graphene, the single-layer form of graphite. Graphene oxide sheets have been used to prepare strong paper-like materials, membranes, thin films, and composite
