Ferric chloride‐graphite intercalation compounds (FeCl 3 –GICs) with stage 1 and stage 2 structures were synthesized by reacting FeCl 3 and expanded graphite (EG) in air in a stainless‐steel autoclave. As rechargeable Li‐ion batteries, these FeCl 3 –GICs exhibit high capacity, excellent cycling stability, and superior rate capability, which could be attributed to their unique intercalation features. This work may enable new possibilities for the fabrication of Li‐ion batteries.
