The phenomenon of intercalation by stages into graphite is analyzed from the moment when the reagent spreads apart the carbon planes and penetrates into the expanded intervals. It is necessary to distinguish very clearly two processes completely distinct and meanwhile highly indissociable: they appear simultaneously throughout the chemical reaction of intercalation. In order to describe these two basic processes, the well-known Daumas-Hérold model is used, whose main interest is to cast all the graphitic intervals for a perfectly symmetrical part.The first process is the growth of the intercalated layer. A diffusive model has been proposed, but it is inconsistent with the experimental phenomenon and must be rejected. It is necessary to adopt on the contrary a model corresponding to the growth of an intercalated layer, whose concentration is uniform and moving about in the graphitic interval by means of a growth front.Figure 1 shows the problem in a monodimensional space (xis the single-space variable). Figure 2 exhibits, at a well-defined moment, the concentration in intercalated species in the graphitic interval for the diffusive model on one hand (2A), and for the model of a movable growth front on the other hand (2B). Figures 3A and 3B represent in a diagramxvstthe lines of uniform concentration (respectively, in the diffusive model and in the model of a movable growth front). Finally, Fig. 4 exhibits the rate of shifting of the growth front in terms of the time.The second process is the sliding of the already intercalated layers in the graphitic intervals. This sliding appears necessarily during the intercalation in order to restore locally the characteristic sequences of the stages. Figure 5 exhibits this phenomenon in the case of the change of a stage 3 compound into a stage 2 compound. Thus it is possible to estimate the whole fractional part of intercalate, which has to slide in order to form the saturated phasis from any compound of higher stage (Table 1). In order to make clear this notion of sliding of the already intercalated layers, it is interesting to define a “quantity of slide” (notedg), which measures, during the sliding of a quantity of intercalate, the product of the area, that covers this quantity on a carbon plane, by the distance covered during the sliding. A model offering a cylindrical symmetry is proposed in order to illustrate the calculation: Fig. 6 shows thus a stage 4 compound in the Daumas-Hérold model. The interest of such a symmetry is to allow an easy calculation of the quantity of slide (Fig. 7).The results of this calculation are gathered in Table 2; it gives the values ofgfor the changes stage 10 → stage 9, stage 9 → stage 8, …, and finally stage 2 → stage 1. Figure 8 supplies the evolution ofgn(total quantity of slide corresponding to the change stagen→ stage 1 in terms of the starting stagen. Whennbecomes infinite (change pristine graphite → stage 1 saturated phasis), simultaneouslygnbecomes infinite. Consequently, it is necessary to allow that the process of sliding do not appear from the outset of the intercalation but only when appears a mutual interaction between the several intercalated layers.
