Electrical Conductivity Measurements on Ternary Graphite Intercalation Compounds Containing Organic Molecules

Abstract

Electrical conductivity of ternary graphite intercalation compounds containing organic molecules was measured by non-contact technique and compared with those of the original graphite sheet and binary potassium compounds KC₈ and KC₂₄. By the intercalation of organic molecules (tetrahydrofuran, benzene, dioxane, and furan) into the binary compounds, the conductivity decreased; the lower the conductivity the larger the content of organic molecules.
