  2. Graphite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite

    The acoustic and thermal properties of graphite are highly anisotropic, since phonons propagate quickly along the tightly bound planes, but are slower to travel from one plane to another. Graphite's high thermal stability and electrical and thermal conductivity facilitate its widespread use as electrodes and refractories in high temperature ...

  3. Allotropes of carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_carbon

    Graphite, named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789, from the Greek γράφειν (graphein, "to draw/write", for its use in pencils) is one of the most common allotropes of carbon. Unlike diamond, graphite is an electrical conductor. Thus, it can be used in, for instance, electrical arc lamp electrodes.

  4. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

    Graphite is characterized by two main groups: natural and synthetic. Synthetic graphite is a high temperature sintered product and is characterized by its high purity of carbon (99.5−99.9%). Primary grade synthetic graphite can approach the good lubricity of quality natural graphite. Natural graphite is derived from mining.

  5. Allotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropy

    Diamond and graphite are two allotropes of carbon: pure forms of the same element that differ in crystalline structure.. Allotropy or allotropism (from Ancient Greek ἄλλος (allos) 'other' and τρόπος (tropos) 'manner, form') is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, in the same physical state, known as allotropes of the elements.

  6. Graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphitizing_and_non...

    In this paper, she defined graphitizing carbons as those that can transform into crystalline graphite by being heated to 3,000 °C (3,270 K; 5,430 °F), while non-graphitizing carbons do not transform into graphite at any temperature. Precursors that produce graphitizing carbon include polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and petroleum coke.

  7. Graphitization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphitization

    Graphitization can be observed in various contexts. For example, it occurs naturally during the formation of certain types of coal or graphite in the Earth's crust.It can also be artificially induced during the manufacture of specific carbon materials, such as graphite electrodes used in fuel cells, nuclear reactors or metallurgical applications.

  8. Anode-free battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode-free_battery

    The company claimed an energy density of 325-440 Wh/kg (900-1,100 Wh/l) for its solid-state battery. As of 2020 the battery could sustain 800 cycles before dropping to 80% of its original capacity. [1] [4] Production is scheduled for the back half of 2024. [5] One New Energy has demonstrated a battery pack that claims to offer 1,000 Wh/L.

  9. Expandable graphite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expandable_graphite

    One of the main applications of expandable graphite is as a flame retardant. When exposed to heat, expandable graphite expands and forms an intumescent layer on the material surface. This slows down the spread of fire and counteracts the most dangerous consequences of fire for humans, the formation of toxic gases and smoke. [4]
