Electronic Properties of Graphite Intercalation Compounds

  • Chapter
Intercalated Layered Materials

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Layered Structures ((PCMA,volume 6))

Abstract

The highly anisotropic bonding in graphite facilitates the intercalation of a wide variety of chemical species between the hexagonal carbon monolayers [1]. One is immediately led to consider differences and similarities between graphite intercalation compounds (GIC’s) and the intercalation complexes of the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD’s). The graphite system provides much greater variety at the synthetic level, through manipulation of the two independent variables specie and ‘stage’. Some 60-odd intercalant species are known, including alkali metals, alkaline earths, rare earths, halogens, protonic and Lewis acids. Co-intercalation with two species, one of which may be an organic molecule, is also quite common. In contrast to intercalated TMD’s one can usually obtain a series of stoichiometric GIC’s with a given specie, corresponding to an integral number n of carbon layers separating nearest intercalant monolayers. The integer n is called the stage of the compound, stage 1 usually being the saturation concentration. Assuming that on average stages 1 through 4 can be reliably synthesized, the family of GIC’s comprises at least 240 distinct compounds, and this number continues to grow.
