Characterized by its layered structure with carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, graphite is a versatile material widely used in various applications, including electrochemistry.\u003cbr\u003eWhen used as an electrode in electrochemical studies, graphite provides a unique combination of properties, such as cost-effectiveness, ease of surface renewal, and a higher effective surface area due to its porous structure. Graphite is commonly used in electrochemical measurements as a cost-effective, readily available counter electrode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGraphite vs. Glassy Carbon: When to Choose Graphite?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile both graphite and glassy carbon are invaluable electrode materials in electrochemistry, there are situations where graphite particularly shines. Graphite is inherently more cost-effective, making it a favorable choice for preliminary studies, bulk experiments, or applications where budgets are tight. Its porous structure often translates to a larger effective surface area, which can be advantageous in assays requiring increased sensitivity. Furthermore, graphite's ease of surface renewal ensures consistent measurements across experiments, as it can be easily polished between uses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExamples of use:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Electroplating: Due to its cost-effectiveness and porous nature, graphite is an efficient substrate for metal deposition in electroplating processes.\u003cbr\u003e2. Bulk Electrolysis: For processes that require a significant quantity of electrode material, like bulk electrolysis, the affordability of graphite makes it a preferred choice.\u003cbr\u003e3. Educational Settings: Graphite's durability and cost-efficiency shine in academic laboratories, especially for student experiments where cost and robustness are crucial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Preparation: Ensure the graphite electrode surface is clean and contaminant-free. Due to its relatively soft nature, the electrode surface can be easily mechanically polished between uses to renew its surface.\u003cbr\u003e2. Installation: Fit the graphite plate electrode into your electrochemical cell setup. Ensure a secure connection to your potentiostat to record accurate measurements.\u003cbr\u003e3. Measurement: Graphite electrodes can be employed in a wide array of electrochemical techniques. Given its porous nature, ensure the electrode reaches a stable background current before recording measurements.\u003cbr\u003e4. Maintenance: After usage, rinse the electrode with appropriate solvents and store it in a dry place. Regular polishing with alumina or abrasive paper might be needed, depending on the nature of the experiments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ematerial: synthetic polycrystalline graphite\u003cbr\u003emanufacturing process: vibration molding\u003cbr\u003edimensions: 5×5, 7×7, 10×10, 15×15, 50×50 mm\u003csup\u003e2 \u003c\/sup\u003eor 100×100 mm\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e (custom sizes available upon request)\u003cbr\u003ethicknesses: 1, 2, or 3 mm\u003cbr\u003edensity: 1.75 g\/cm\u003csup\u003e3\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003eelectric resistivity: 8 \u003cspan\u003eµΩ·m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eflexural strength: 17.5 MPa\u003cbr\u003ecompressive strength: 38 MPa\u003cbr\u003emedium grain size: 800 μm\u003cbr\u003ethermal conductivity: 140 W.mK\u003csup\u003e-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003ecoefficient of thermal expansion: 2.4×10\u003csup\u003e-6\u003c\/sup\u003e K\u003csup\u003e-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003eash content: 500 PPM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntrastat data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHS Code: 85451900\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: Sweden\u003cbr\u003eNET weight: 100 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 x graphite plate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated products\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBasic Sample Holder\u003cbr\u003eSample Holder 15 mm x 15 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSample Holder 25 mm x 25 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBM FC EC 15mL\u003cbr\u003eBMM FC EC 15mL\u003cbr\u003eelectrosynthesis reactors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"redox.me","offers":[{"title":"7 mm x 7 mm x 1 mm","offer_id":56885640429894,"sku":"E-Gr-7x7x1-10p","price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 mm x 10 mm x 1 mm","offer_id":56885640462662,"sku":"E-Gr-10x10x1-10p","price":116.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 mm x 15 mm x 1 mm","offer_id":56885640495430,"sku":"E-Gr-15x15x1-10p","price":126.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 mm x 25 mm x 1 mm","offer_id":56885640528198,"sku":"E-Gr-25x25x1-10p","price":137.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 mm x 25 mm x 2 mm","offer_id":56885640560966,"sku":"E-Gr-25x25x2-10p","price":142.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 mm x 25 mm x 3 mm","offer_id":56885640593734,"sku":"E-Gr-25x25x3-10p","price":147.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mm x 50 mm x 1 mm","offer_id":56885640626502,"sku":"E-Gr-50x50x1-10p","price":210.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 mm x 100 mm x 1 mm","offer_id":56885640659270,"sku":"E-Gr-100x100x1-10p","price":400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/5600\/3482\/files\/1_2ba5164d-68fc-441d-a1bf-e3e5786690f3.png?v=1782911769","url":"https:\/\/www.thasar.com\/it\/products\/graphite-plate-synthetic-vibration-molded-pack-of-10","provider":"Thasar S.r.l.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
