- Graphite is one of the
allotropes of carbon. Unlike diamond, graphite is an electrical
conductor, and can be used, for instance, as the material in the
electrodes of an electrical arc lamp.
- Graphite holds the
distinction of being the most stable form of solid carbon ever
discovered. It may be considered to be the highest grade of
coal.
- Graphite can conduct
electricity due to the vast electron delocalization within the carbon
layers. These electrons are free to move, so are able to conduct
electricity. However, the electricity is only conducted within the plane
of the layers.
- Graphite powder is used
as a dry lubricant, although it might be thought that this industrially
important property is due entirely to the loose interlamellar coupling
between sheets in the structure.
- The use of graphite is
also limited by its tendency to facilitate pitting corrosion in some
stainless steels, and to promote galvanic corrosion between dissimilar
metals.
- A structural analog of
graphite, hexagonal boron nitride, is used as a high-temperature
lubricant as well, and due to its similarity to graphite is sometimes
called white graphite.
- Intumescent or expandable
graphites are used in firestops, particularly plastic pipes and gaskets,
fitted around the perimeter of a fire door. During a fire, the graphite
expands and chars to resist fire penetration and reduce the likelihood
of the spread of fire and fumes. A typical start expansion temperature
is between 150° and 300° Celsius.
- Traditionally used
synthetic graphite is now being successfully replaced by two other
alternatives: purified natural and purified expanded types of
graphite.
- Graphite powder is used
for the purpose of conductivity enhancement in the MnO2 (EMD or CMD)
cathodes.The powders as well as graphite containing conductive
suspensions have played important roles in the development of new
alkaline battery systems, which entered the market in
1998-2002.
- Nowadays natural graphite
became available at high purity levels. This feature, when combined with
its other unique properties, allows it to successfully compete with and
outperform traditional synthetic graphite offerings.
