Patent Pending Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are complex materials having formula CXm where the ion Xn+ or Xn- is inserted (intercalated) between the oppositely charged carbon layers. Typically m is much less that 1.[1][2] These materials are deeply colored solids that exhibit a range of electrical and redox properties of potential applications.
