Abstract
BEFORE intercalation of other molecules between the carbon hexagon networks in graphite can be started, they must first be given a sufficient chemical or electrical overpotential. The excess potential needed depends in a sensitive way on the textural perfection of the graphite used, which makes measurements of overpotential a valuable diagnostic test with near ideal graphites1.
