Chiral Molecular Intercalation Superlattices

1-to-2-to-3 Intercalation Splitter

Intercalation of atoms into layered materials induces volumetric changes and lattice mismatch within the crystal structure. These changes generate localized tensile and compressive. The magnitude of these stresses depends on factors such as the size of the intercalating species and the crystallographic structure of the host material. In, such as lithium-ion batteries, operating conditions—particularly the charge/discharge rate and temperature—also influence stress levels.
