The basic characteristic of an electroactive intercalation compound is the thermodynamic voltage-composition relation, that corresponds to the equilibrium phase diagram of the system. See for example Armand (1980) for detailed description of the various behavior that can be encountered, which depends on the changes in electronic and structural properties upon intercalation/deintercalation. Basically a continuous dependence of the potential vs. composition corresponds to a solid-solution single-phase domain whereas a potential plateau corresponds to a two-phase domain. Other properties of interest, particularly in view of possible applications as active electrode in a battery are the potential window of electrochemical stability, kinetics and reversibility of the intercalation process.
