Abstract:
The potassium binary graphite intercalation compound [GIC (K)] was prepared using classical double bulb chemical method
and compared with different types of natural vein graphite from Sri Lanka and natural flake graphite of Madagascar. The first
stage GIC (K) was always obtained for natural vein and flake graphite. These result indicated that the potassium intercalation
does not depend on the graphite‘s physical texture or their morphology.
