Abstract

Intercalation of AlCl3 into stage 2 FeCl3-graphite intercalation compound (GIC) using an ordinary two-bulb method has been studied by x-ray diffraction. Stages 2, 3, and 4 ternary AlCl3-FeCl3-GlC's are obtained when the temperatures of the stage 2 FeCl3-GIC were set at T (GIC) = 503, 523, and 553 K, respectively, for the AlCl3 intercalate material at T (AlCl3) = 473 K, that is, the vapor pressure of (AlCl3)2 (g) of the main vapor species to be held at p {(AlCl3)2} = 2.4 × 105 Pa. However, for the temperature of the stage 2 FeCl3-GIC at T (GIC) = 573 K, the (AlCl3)2 (g) vapor is found to promote the decomposition of the stage 2 FeCl3-GIC, resulting in the formation of graphite. The decomposition of the stage 2 FeCl3-GIC is considered to take place because the complex AlFeCl6 (g) in the gas phase, which is formed from both (AlCl3)2 (g) and FeCl3 existing at the edge of the FeCl3-GIC, is thermodynamically more stable than the FeCl3 and AlCl3 intercalates in their GIC at p {(AlCl3)2} = 2.4 × 105 Pa and T (GIC) = 573 K.
