Figure 6. A model of chloroaluminate anions intercalating into the graphite layers.

Figure 6

Density functional theory (DFT) and first-principles calculations was performed to investigate the structure of four intercalated tetrahedrally structured AlCl4 anions intercalated in the edge position of the graphite layers. The green and red spheres represent Cl and Al atoms, respectively. The carbon atoms are indicated by the grey spheres.
