Progress in Intercalation Research

This volume reviews the tremendous amount of work that has been achieved in the field of intercalation compounds since the first volume on `Intercalated Layered Materials' was published in this series in 1979. Leading experts in a number of important fields of current research present an up-to-date collection of contributions on materials, methods, models and applications. Various aspects such as new compounds, preparation and characterization techniques, reaction mechanisms, theory, structural and physical properties, are covered. Layered materials are most important, but one-dimensional and three-dimensional systems, polymers and related host structures are considered as well. The book has an interdisciplinary character and addresses itself to chemists, physicists and materials scientist interested in intercalation research. It is a reference work for all scientists and research students working in this field.
