This volume reviews the work 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 a 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 also considered. The book has an interdisciplinary character and addresses itself to chemists, physicists and materials scientists interested in intercalation research. It is a reference work suitable for all scientists and research students working in this field.
