    The difference and connection between graphite and graphene

    The main difference between graphite and graphene lies in their structure. Graphite is a two-dimensional material with a hexagonal lattice formed by carbon atoms, and is an allotrope of carbon. And graphene is a type of material composed of carbon atoms in the form of sp ² A two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial with a hexagonal honeycomb lattice composed of hybrid orbitals is a single-layer structure of graphite. Therefore, graphite can be seen as a stacked form of graphene.




    Graphene has some unique physical and chemical properties, such as excellent conductivity and thermal conductivity, high strength, high toughness, etc., making it have broad application prospects in energy, materials, electronics and other fields. Due to its structure, graphite mainly has excellent lubrication and wear resistance, and is commonly used in the manufacturing of lubricants and wear-resistant materials.




    Although there are significant differences in structure and properties between graphite and graphene, there is also a certain connection between them. Graphene can be seen as a component of graphite, and by peeling it layer by layer, a single layer of graphene can be obtained. In addition, one of the preparation methods for graphene is to grow it on the surface of graphite through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), thereby obtaining graphene.




    Overall, although graphite and graphene have similar elemental compositions, they exhibit different physical and chemical properties due to their different structures and morphologies, and have different applications in different fields.

    The Future Market Prospects of Graphite Powder

    We all know that graphite has excellent chemical stability. After special processing, graphite also has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and low permeability. Therefore, it is widely used as heat exchangers, reaction tanks, condensers, combustion towers, absorption towers, coolers, heaters, filters, and pump equipment.

    What are the key applications of graphite shells?

    With the development of science and technology, graphite slowly turns into selected raw materials for mold production with its excellent physics and organic chemical characteristics. Graphite molds are generally used in various industries. Below I take the old iron to take a look at the key use of graphite mold!1. Rare metal forging and semi -continuous forging for graphite moldIn recent years, countries around the world have been marketing and promoting the situation of fusion metal materials and continuously (or semi -continuous) production and manufacturing bars or pipes. China has gradually selected this method at the level of copper, alloy copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy profiles. Artificial synthetic graphite is a continuous forging or semi -continuous forging as a rare metal. Manufacturing practice has proved that because of the selection of graphite mold shells, it has excellent thermal transmission performance (the heat transfer performance decided to condense the condensate
