Abstract

A model of first rapid intercalation is presented to describe the kinetics of intercalation. The model applies to interface-controlled intercalation, as for the intercalation of Br2 and other similar intercalates. In this model, intercalation proceeds by layer-by-layer nucleation and subsequent in-plane growth; a time gap is assumed between the nucleation of two successive intercalate layers. The model has been applied to analyze the variation of the surface and thickness profiles and mass increase during intercalation. Support of the model by relevant experimental results is discussed.
