Abstract
The experimental techniques for intercalating highly oriented pyrolytic graphite crystals and large size graphite flakes with metal halides are well known and easily carried out. However, as the size of the graphite flakes decrease below 5 microns the conditions for intercalation become more difficult and the results less predictable. Experimental results show that graphite flakes in the 2 micron range can be intercalated with FeCl 3 under the appropriate conditions of time and chlorine back pressure. The stage formation was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and supported by elemental analysis. A reaction mechanism is proposed and discussed.
