K. Kalucki et Aw. Morawski, PREPARATION OF K-BI-GRAPHITE UNDER NITROGEN, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 244, 1994, pp. 59-64
The ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of K-Bi-graphite h
ave been synthesized. The preparation method under inert gas (nitrogen
) and at atmospheric pressure has been tried. The intercalation of K-B
i alloy to the graphite has been successfully performed. The resulted
K-Bi-GIC was quite air stable. Proposed preparation method is easier t
o carry out than under vacuum.
