Abstract
Abstract A stabilized graphite intercalation product can be formed by sequential intercalation of graphite. Graphite is initially intercalated with an alkali metal (M). The unstable alkali metal intercalation compound is then intercalated with an organic acid (R) to form a room temperature stable, graphite intercalation containing a metal charge transfer salt of the type M + R - .
