<p>In the area of <a href="Solid_state_chemistry" class="mw-redirect" title="Solid state chemistry">solid state chemistry</a>, <b>graphite intercalation compounds</b> are a family of materials prepared from graphite. In particular, the sheets of carbon that comprise graphite can be pried apart by the insertion (<a href="Intercalation_(chemistry)" title="Intercalation (chemistry)">intercalation</a>) of ions. The <a href="Graphite" title="Graphite">graphite</a> is viewed as a host and the inserted ions as <a href="Host%E2%80%93guest_chemistry" title="Host–guest chemistry">guests</a>.

</p><p>In a graphite intercalation compound not every layer is necessarily occupied by guests. In so-called <i>stage 1 compounds</i>, graphite layers and intercalated layers alternate and in <i>stage 2 compounds</i>, two graphite layers with no guest material in between alternate with an intercalated layer. The actual composition may vary and therefore these compounds are an example of <a href="Stoichiometry" title="Stoichiometry">non-stoichiometric</a> compounds. It is customary to specify the composition together with the stage. The layers are pushed apart upon incorporation of the guest ions.
