ABSTRACT
While only 3 Li per titanium could be intercalated in the first GIC, 4.5 Li per vanadium were reached in the second GIC. We attributed these differences to the in-plane organization of the metal fluoride, which consists of chains in the titanium fluoride and of isolated VF^ anions in the vanadium-based com pound. The lithium mobility may be hindered by the close-packed arrangement

in the (T iF^ chains [49], while the isolated VFg ions leave a larger path for the lithium diffusion [47].
