    The difference between expanded graphite and graphene

    Time:2023.11.08Browse:1

    Share:



    Graphene and expanded graphite exhibit different behaviors in both material structure and application fields. Expanded graphite can be used as a raw material for the production of graphene. For example, the Hummers method can be used to obtain graphene oxide through ultrasonic expansion of graphite oxide. When the expanded graphite is peeled off into a single piece, it becomes graphene. Peeling off into several layers is a few layers of graphene, and graphene nanosheets can be prepared from about ten to thirty layers.


    Practical application fields of expanded graphite


    1. Application of Medical Materials


    Medical dressings made of expanded graphite have many excellent properties and can replace most traditional gauze.


    2. Application of Military Materials


    Crushing expanded graphite into micropowders has strong scattering and absorption properties for infrared waves, making it an excellent infrared shielding material and playing an important role in modern optoelectronic warfare.


    3. Application of environmentally friendly materials


    Due to its low density, non-toxic, pollution-free, easy to handle, and excellent adsorption properties, expanded graphite has a wide range of applications in the field of environmental protection.


    4. Biomedical materials


    Carbon materials have excellent compatibility with the human body and are a good biomedical material. As a new type of carbon material, expanded graphite materials have excellent adsorption properties for organic and biological macromolecules, and have good biocompatibility, non-toxic, odorless, and no side effects. They have broad application prospects in biomedical materials.

    How to use expansion graphite

    1. Protective useExpansion graphite can be used as protective materials, which can be used to protect metal and other damaged objects, such as circuit boards and steel. Because expansion graphite can expand 10 times, it can effectively block the flames and make these objects from burning with flames.2. InsulationExpansion graphite can also be used as insulation materials, because it has good thermal resistance and can effectively block heat, so it can be used for insulation, such as electronic products. It can also be used for cooling, preventing the loss of heat, thereby playing the role of heat preservation.3. Filtering useExpansion graphite can also be used as filtering materials, because it has adsorption and can be used to adsorb toxic substances, such as pollutants used in water treatment, which can effectively remove pollutants in water. It can also be used for air purification to block the entry of harmful substances.4. Reinforcement useExpansion graphite can also be used as r
