Synthetic Graphite Powder

Product Name: Synthetic Graphite Powder

Synthetic Graphite Powder Description  :

Graphite archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure.

Synthetic Graphite Powder occurs naturally in this form and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Under high pressures and temperatures, it converts to diamond. Synthetic Graphite Powder is used in pencils and lubricants.

Synthetic Graphite Powder a good conductor of heat and electricity. Its high conductivity makes it useful in electronic products such as electrodes, batteries, and solar panels. Solid carbon comes in different forms known as allotropes depending on the type of chemical bond. The two most common are diamond and graphite (less common ones include buckminsterfullerene).

In diamond the bonds are sp3 and the atoms form tetrahedra with each bound to four nearest neighbors. In graphite, they are sp2 orbital hybrids and the atoms form in planes with each bound to three nearest neighbors 120 degrees apart.

The individual layers are called graphene. In each layer, the carbon atoms are arranged in a honeycomb lattice with a separation of 0.142 nm, and the distance between planes is 0.335 nm. Atoms in the plane are bonded covalently, with only three of the four potential bonding sites satisfied.

The fourth electron is free to migrate in the plane, making graphite electrically conductive. Bonding between layers is via weak van der Waals bonds, which allows layers of graphite to be easily separated, or to slide past each other.

Electrical conductivity perpendicular to the layers is consequently about 1000 times lower. The two known forms of graphite, alpha (hexagonal), and beta (rhombohedral), have very similar physical properties, except that the graphene layers stack slightly differently.

The alpha graphite may be either flat or buckled. The alpha form can be converted to the beta form through mechanical treatment and the beta form reverts to the alpha form when it is heated above 1300 °C
