In 2012-2013, an international research collaborative discovered a phenomenon that could be observed via optical microscope during the stage transitions in graphite intercalation compounds. It took ...

Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) arise from the insertion of atoms, ions or molecules between the layers of graphite, profoundly altering its structural, electronic and chemical characteristics ...

Graphite exfoliation and intercalation materials comprise a class of layered carbon derivatives engineered by the insertion of guest species and the controlled separation of graphite planes.

Chiral recognition by an asymmetrically modified clay surface was reported by one of the present authors forty years ago. However, how chiral metal complexes organize in the interlayer space of a clay ...

The beginning of this project dates back to 2012-2013, when team leader Ayrat Dimiev was working at Rice University, Houston, TX, USA, with Professor James Tour. Together with Natnael Behabtu, at that ...
