    1、 The Development History of Expanded Graphite

    The development of expanded graphite can be traced back to the 1960s, when scientists discovered that graphite can deform regularly within a certain temperature range, and the deformed graphite can remain stable. Subsequently, scientists discovered that under certain conditions, graphite at high temperatures can be used to manufacture various structures, which can be used to support larger weights, thus developing the technology of expanded graphite.

    2、 The use of expanded graphite

    Expanded graphite has a wide range of uses and can be used to manufacture various structures, such as bridges, buildings, etc. In addition, expanded graphite can also be used to manufacture electronic products, such as chips, printed circuit boards, etc. In addition, expanded graphite can also be used in space technology, such as spacecraft and space stations.

    3、 Steps for using expanded graphite

    Firstly, it is necessary to determine the temperature of expanded graphite. Generally speaking, the temperature range of expanded graphite is 400-800 ℃, within which the structure of expanded graphite can undergo changes. Secondly, place the expanded graphite at the specified temperature and wait for it to complete deformation. Once the deformation is completed, it can be used for manufacturing structures or electronic products. 3. Then, the expanded graphite can return to its original state after cooling, which can be reused multiple times, improving the efficiency of using the expanded graphite.

    4、 Advantages and disadvantages of expanded graphite


    Advantages: 1. It has excellent physical properties, such as resistance to high temperature, corrosion, and wear, and can meet the requirements of various special environments. 2. It can deform at high temperatures and be used to manufacture various structures, such as bridges, buildings, etc., which can support larger weights. 3. It can be restored to its original state after cooling and can be reused multiple times, improving the efficiency of using expanded graphite. Disadvantages: 1. The cost is relatively high, and not all applications can accept this cost. 2. The temperature range is also limited, and once it exceeds the temperature range, the expanded graphite will fail. 3. The required ratio may affect the performance of expanded graphite.




    The emergence of expanded graphite has brought convenience to our lives and also changed our way of life, making our lives greener and more energy-efficient. Its emergence has amazed people and given them greater aspirations. It has brought us infinite possibilities and made us believe that future technology will be more advanced, bringing us more miracles.

    Several methods for preparing nano graphite powder using natural graphite

    (1) Detonation cracking methodThe detonation cracking method utilizes the properties of graphite that can accommodate foreign negative ion layers to form expandable graphite or lower order GICs, where the ion layer contained is called the insertion layer. In expandable graphite or low order GICs, the insertion layers are regularly arranged in graphite layers. During detonation, the insertion layer rapidly decomposes and releases a large amount of gas, impacting the graphite layers and pushing adjacent graphite layers apart to prepare nano graphite thin sheets. During the detonation process, * * plays two roles simultaneously: firstly, it releases a large amount of heat during the explosion, causing the decomposition of expandable graphite or lower order GICs; The other is to use the shock wave generated during detonation to crush the graphite sheet, achieving the effect of refining the graphite, thereby preparing flake graphite with smaller diameter and very thin thickness.At present,
