Summary: | Diffusion coefficients of ion in graphitic materials are responsible for high-rate batteries. However, the complex electrochemical response presented a challenge to accurately measure the diffusion coefficient of alkali-metal ions in graphitic materials. Here we design a method to identify the diffusion coefficients of Li
+
and Na
+
in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) with and without presence of liquid electrolyte infiltration. The results reveal inherent high diffusivity of Li
+
in HOPG (∼10
−7
cm
2
·s
−1
), as compared to HOPG with electrolyte infiltration (∼10
−8
cm
2
·s
−1
), while Na
+
has almost no interlayer diffusion without solvent infiltration. The presence of electrolyte has different effect on the interlayer diffusion of Li
+
and Na
+
