Abstract

The intercalation of hydroxide ions (OH^-) into graphite formed graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) in high ionic strength solutions. GICs of solvated OH^- anions with two water molecules (OH^-·2H₂O) in alkaline aqueous solutions and GICs of only OH^- anions in a molten NaOH-KOH salt solution were electrochemically synthesized.
