Industrial Uses of Graphite in the Clean Energy Field

Industrial Uses of Graphite in the Clean Energy Field

Industrial uses of graphite in the field of renewable energy are well-known. Batteries that store clean energy when the sun sets and the wind dies down rely on graphite components. A fast-growing sector of the graphite market is providing components for solar and wind industries, as well as to battery manufacturers. Electrification is the direction most governments and private entities are adopting in pursuit of the green, renewable power source of the future. However, there are other green industrial uses of graphite. We will explore one in particular here -- hydrogen fuel cells. This technology, which has been around for...

For instance, graphite can be used in conditions where traditional lubricants and other self-lubricating materials will fail. It can withstand high temperatures, corrosive media, and dry atmospheres, all while maintaining a low coefficient of friction and remaining dimensionally and thermally stable. But graphite as a lubricating material is typically not the first use of this wonder material that comes to mind. Most people, if thinking of graphite in an industrial setting,...
