Amorphous Graphite/natural flake graphite for lithium batteries
Product Name: Graphite
Graphite is a crystalline
form of the element carbon
. It consists of stacked layers
of graphene
. Graphite occurs naturally and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions
. Synthetic and natural graphite are consumed on a large scale (1.3 million metric tons per year in 2022) for uses in pencils
, lubricants
, and electrodes
. Under high pressures and temperatures it converts to diamond
. It is a good (but not excellent) conductor of both heat and electricity.
Natural graphite
The principal types of natural graphite, each occurring in different types of oredeposits, are
- Crystalline small flakes of graphite (or flake graphite) occurs as isolated, flat, plate-like particles with hexagonal edges if unbroken. When broken, the edges can be irregular or angular;
- Amorphous graphite: very fine flake graphite is sometimes called amorphous;
- Lump graphite (or vein graphite) occurs in fissure veins or fractures and appears as massive platy intergrowths of fibrous or acicular crystalline aggregates, and is probably hydrothermal in origin.
- Highly ordered pyrolytic graphite refers to graphite with an angular spread between the graphite sheets of less than 1°.
- The name "graphite fiber" is sometimes used to refer to carbon fibers or carbon fiber-reinforced polymer.
Synthetic graphite
Synthetic graphite (or artificial graphite) is a material consisting of graphitic carbon which has been obtained by graphitizing of non-graphitic carbon, by chemical vapor deposition from hydrocarbons at temperatures above 2500 K, by decomposition of thermally unstable carbides or by crystallizing from metal melts supersaturated with carbon.
