Abstract

To date, graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have been investigated extensively from a wide variety of viewpoints. In this paper, the studies on the reactions of metal chlorides in the interlayer of graphite are reviewed. When a metal chloride-GIC is reduced, atoms of zero-valent metal are generated in the interlayer. Some papers reported the resulting production of metal-GIC and other papers presented the formation of metallic particles in the graphite matrix. Other kinds of reactions such as replacement reaction and addition reaction observed in the interlayer of graphite are also discussed.
