Synthesis and Characterization of the Ternary Graphite Intercalation Compounds

stage ternary GICs CuCl 2 FeCl 3 GICs were synthesized by the molted salt method. CuCl 2, FeCl 3 were used as the guest species and natural graphite (grain size from 1～10 μm) served as the host material. The paper introduces the method of synthesis. Crystal structure, surface appearance and the relative contents of elements were investigated with XRD, SEM and EDS. The electromagnetic properties of GBCs (graphite bi intercalation compounds) intercalation reaction were measured and analyzed. The results show that CuCl 2 FeCl 3 GICs is a kind of new, light conducting material.
