Abstract

The main results regarding the synthesis of the graphite intercalation compounds containing a metallic alloy (constituted by an alkali metal and a heavy metal: mercury, thallium, or bismuth) are reported. The synthesis conditions are described: reaction temperatures, compositions of the reactive alloys, and reaction mechanisms. The differences of behavior of the various alloys with respect to the graphite are explained. The structure of the ternary phases is described, and their superconducting properties are reported.
