A structural investigation of Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride (Li-h-BNIC) was performed by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The host BN framework of Li-h-BNIC was expanded by Li-intercalation. The intralayer B-N bond length was increased by 2.48(1)% and the interlayer distance was expanded by 12.86(1)%. No superlattice structure of intercalated Li was observed. - Graphical abstract: XRD pattern fitting of the sample and schematic view of host h-BN lattice. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Li-intercalated h-BN was investigated by synchrotron radiation powder XRD. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Lattice parameter of host h-BN lattice was increased by intercalation. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Increase ratio of B-N bond length was considerably larger than those of Li GICs.
