Graphitization Process

Graphitization is the process of transforming carbon material, such as carbon black or other carbon-rich substances, into graphite. This involves heating the material to very high temperatures, typically above 2500°C, causing the carbon atoms to rearrange from a random, disordered structure into a highly organized, crystalline form called graphite. This ordered structure gives graphite its characteristic properties, like high electrical conductivity and lubricity. The process is essential in producing materials for use in batteries, electrodes, and advanced industrial applications, ensuring the carbon's structure meets specific functional and performance requirements.
