Synthesis and stability of Br2, ICl and IBr intercalated pitch-based graphite fibers

Wessbecher, Dorothy E.; Forsman, William C.; Gaier, James R.

The intercalation of halogens in pitch-based fiber is studied as well as the stability of the resultant intercalation compounds. It is found that IBr intercalates P-100 to yield a high-sigma GIC with attractive stability properties. During ICl intercalation, the presence of O2 interferes with the reaction and necessitates a higher threshold pressure for intercalation.
