What Does GIC Stand For?
GIC stands for Graphite Intercalation Compound
GIC, or Graphite Intercalation Compound, refers to a class of materials formed by the insertion of guest atoms, ions, or molecules between the layers of graphite. This intercalation alters the electronic, optical, and structural properties of graphite, enabling a range of applications in areas such as energy storage, electrochemistry, and advanced materials. GICs are of significant interest in research and industrial applications due to their unique characteristics and potential for enhancing the performance of existing technologies.
