The electrochemical oxidation of graphite in a nitromethane solution containing the (perfluoropinacolato)borate anion, produces a new acceptor-type graphite intercalation compound (GIC). Stage 1-3 GICs are obtained and characterized by electrochemical methods and powder X-ray diffraction. The gallery height, of 14.0-14.5 Å indicates a single intercalate layer between graphene sheets. The GICs are produced at higher charge efficiency and are more oxidatively stable than the previously reported intercalation of from this solvent. The GICs are more stable to ambient exposure than most acceptor-type GICs; even the stage 1 material will persist in air for several hours.
