β¦ Synopsis
Potassium-ammonia-graphite intercalation compounds (K-NH3-GIC) synthesized from small natural graphite particles from China were rapidly heated by a cw-Nd:YAG laser beam (I ,056 pm) in an Ar purge environment to yield exfoliated small graphite particles as sources for electrical conductive films. The laser heating method was demonstrated to be effective for exfoliation of K-NH,-GIC prepared from natural graphites in sizes of under 37 pm, 37 -63 Frn, and 63 -88 pm, whereas no exfoliation of these graphites occurred by either gas burner heating or electric furnace heating. The results also show that K-NH3-GIC prepared from natural graphite 350 -500 pm in size was exfoliated to 32-fold ofthe volume of feed natural graphite. This exfoliation ratio is 2.6 times larger than the ratio obtained by the gas burner heating method.

Electrical conductivity, transverse magnetoresistance, and Hall coefficient, both of graphite in the course of bromination and of potassium-graphite intercalation compounds (K-GICs) in the course of ammoniation, were determined. Concentrations and mobilities of holes and electrons (q,, it,, p+, kc)
stage 1 potassium-graphite intercalation compound was recently reported. This compound differs from those already known by its structure, which includes two metal layers in the same gallery. It has roughly KC, stoichiometry. This compound was studied under high quasi-hydrostatic pressures up to 25 k
