Abstract
ABSTRACTGraphite intercalation compounds can be used as electrode materials in batteries owing to the high electronic conductivity of carbon layers and the easy diffusion of ions between the layers. Moreover intercalation has the beneficial effect of impeding some parasitic reactions detrimental to good electrode reversibility. After a brief review of recent proposals, emphasis is given to transition metal chlorides. It is shown that, besides the nickel chloride-graphite compound proposed two years ago as a cathode material for alkaline batteries, other metal chlorides intercalated into graphite are excellent cathode or anode materials.
