Question

what do you mean by staging phenomenon in graphite intercalated compound

Answer 1

Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are complex materials having a formula CXmwhere the ion Xn+ or Xn− is inserted (intercalated) between the oppositely charged carbon layers. Typically m is much less than 1.[1][2] These materials are deeply colored solids that exhibit a range of electrical and redox properties of potential applications.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The reaction is reversible. The host (graphite) and the guest X interact by charge
