Abstract
Abstract Graphite intercalation compounds (GIGs) with nickel and iron hydroxides were synthesized from the corresponding GICs with metal chlorides by galvanostatic oxidation and also by repeated charge-discharge cycles in an alkaline secondary battery with KOH aqueous solution. The stage-one structure in the original chloride-GICs was found to disappear after the first charge-discharge process and the compounds kept the stage-two structure. A gradual increase in the capacity of the battery with charge-discharge repetition suggests a slow replacement of chloride ions by hydroxide ones in the graphite interlayer space.
