The kinetics of structural transformations of atomic-layered structures of highly oriented pyrographite intercalated with potassium (C60K, C36K, C24K, and C8K) at THOPG = 300°C has been studied by in situ XRD. The shape of the kinetic curves suggests a complex nature of the rearrangement of the structure of C24K into C36K and C48K: first, C36K is formed from C24K, and then C48K. The C60K phase with a minimum potassium content is observed only at the final stage (t = 24 h), when the remaining phases are practically not detected. Only the C60K phase with the lowest potassium content is found to be structurally stable for 5 months.
