Uses of graphite granules
The field of electronics and electrical engineering
Battery materials
In lithium-ion batteries, you can use them as the negative electrode active material. With the layered structure, they can reversibly intercalate and deintercalate lithium ions, achieving the charging and discharging process of the battery. Then directly affecting the battery’s energy density, cycle life, and charging and discharging performance.
Conductive coating
Adding graphite granules to coatings can produce coatings with good electrical conductivity, effectively preventing electromagnetic interference and static electricity accumulation. You can use them in electromagnetic shielding, anti-static and other occasions, such as the coating of electronic equipment casings.
Energy field:
Fuel cell
Because of the excellent electrical conductivity and chemical stability, graphite particles can be used to prepare electrode materials in fuel cells. They can promote the progress of electrochemical reactions and improve the performance and service life of fuel cells.
Solar photovoltaic
You can use it as an additive for conductive silver paste in solar panels to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells.
Machinery industry
Lubricating materials
You can also use graphite granules alone as solid lubricants or mixed with lubricating oil and grease. Such as lubricating the mold of continuous casting machines in steel mills and piston rings of automotive engines. They can reduce friction and wear and improve the operational stability and reliability of mechanical components.
Mold manufacturing
Using mold release agents containing graphite granule can form a lubricating film on the mold surface. They reduce the friction between the mold and the forming material, which makes the product easier to demolding. And at the same time reducing the wear of the mold and extending its service life.
Chemical engineering field
Catalyst carrier
Due to the large specific surface area and good chemical stability, you can use them as catalyst carriers. They can load various active components in the catalytic process of chemical reactions, such as hydrogenation reactions in petrochemicals. Thereby enhancing the activity and selectivity of the catalyst.
Adsorption material
With the adsorption performance of graphite particles, they can be used to treat industrial wastewater and waste gas. They can adsorb organic matter, heavy metal ions and other pollutants, achieving the purpose of purifying the environment.
