For instance, graphite can oxidize at high temperatures, typically above 400\u00b0C (752\u00b0F) in air. This can alter the chemical process. Thus, temperature control is needed. Furthermore, under high mechanical stress or abrasion, graphite electrodes may wear faster than metal alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the porous structure of graphite can lead to gas permeability causing electrolyte penetration. This can affect the overall lifespan. In applications requiring ultra-high purity, graphite can introduce carbon particles. Graphite has a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, which means it can expand with temperature rise. This can cause issues in applications with large temperature fluctuations. Such systems must be designed by taking thermal expansion into account.<\/p>\n<p>By considering these limitations, an optimum electrolysis system can be designed with either graphite or more suitable alternatives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_Graphite_Electrodes\"><\/span>Alternatives to Graphite Electrodes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While graphite electrodes are widely used, certain alternative materials can be considered for use depending on their specific requirements. Metal electrodes like platinum have excellent chemical stability while gold is highly conductive. Metal oxide electrodes due to their high stability, long lifespan and catalytic properties are yet another option for applications like chlorine production and water treatment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Graphite makes an excellent electrode in electrolysis due to its chemical and physical properties.
