Abstract

From the ease and the rapidity of the intercalation process in graphite it is evident that particle diffusion in GICs must be quite fast. A diffusion constant on the order of 10-5cm2/s is estimated from a large HOPG sample with linear dimensions of 1 cm and an intercalation time of a few hours. Often, the intercalation process proceeds via a well-defined intercalation front which can be observed readily, e g, from a change in the sample thickness or color. A quantitative evaluation gives valuable information about the chemical diffusion constant D* related to the macroscopic transport of mass in the sample. Simple visual observation reveals that intercalation always proceeds coplanar with the graphene sheets, showing the two-dimensional (2d) character of the diffusion process.
