Why are graphite-acid intercalation compounds preferred for preparation of exfoliated graphite?

Graphite can be intercalated with a number of compounds including halides, alkali metals, halogens etc. Yet most of the literature points towards use of graphite-acid intercalated compounds.

How does degree of intercalation depend on graphite particle size in liquid intercalation (H2SO4-HNO3)? Can oxidation occur in very fine particles?

I wish to intercalate very fine graphite particles through a mixture of concentrated H2SO4 and HNO3. Normally, small particle size results in greater degree of intercalation. Is it possible for...

Will XRD results for intercalated graphite be effected in case of a H2SO4-wetted sample?

I am performing intercalation of graphite using 18M H2SO4. The compound obtained is unstable in air and therefore it must be analyzed at the earliest after it is prepared.
