Nongraphitized Carbonaceous Materials

Because of the variety of available carbons, classification is inevitable. Most carbonaceous materials which are capable of reversible hthium intercalation can be classified roughly as graphitic and nongraphitic (disordered). 

Early approaches to the oxidation of carbonaceous solids were destructive in nature and led to C02 and possibly to organic acids (49-52). More recently, the oxidative intercalation of nongraphitic materials was reported (53-55).
