Intercalation and Deintercalation

AI Thread Summary
Intercalation refers to the process of inserting ions or molecules into the layers of a material, while deintercalation is the removal of those ions or molecules. In the context of rechargeable batteries, intercalation involves lithium ions inserting into the gaps of graphite layers, and deintercalation involves their removal during discharge. This process is crucial for the battery's operation and efficiency. The discussion highlights the user's confusion about these concepts and their specific application in battery technology. Understanding these terms is essential for grasping how rechargeable batteries function.

Help!
Please could some very kind person tell me what deintercalation and intercalation are, as i have no idea! I have now been searching the web for about 3hrs with little result.
Thanking in advance
Padford.

Thanks,
I guess then intercalation and deintercalation in relation to rechargable batteries (which is my topic) would be the insertion of mloecules, Li-Ions into the gaps in the graphite layers then removing them? Probably causing some sort of electromagnetic disturbance?
am i right?!

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
