Abstract
The mechanism of intercalate transport in graphite was studied by sequential intercalation of bromine and iodine monochloride. It was found that the transport involved solid-state intercalate displacement such that the first intercalate molecule to enter an interlayer space is the first to reach the center of the graphite sample. Upon exposure of stage-2 graphite-bromine to ICI, the in-plane superlattice diffraction pattern was observed to change from that of graphite-bromine to that of graphite-ICl, while the ICl intercalate distributed itself uniformly at a concentration level above that of the bromine intercalate. This is interpreted as the expulsion of bromine by the in-coming ICl, which dissolved the remaining bromine to form a solid solution with the ICl in-plane structure.
