Multifaceted Characteristics of Graphite: From Atomic Structure to Industrial Applications
Atomic Configuration and Bonding Characteristics (1) Layered Crystal System Graphite exhibits a unique 2D honeycomb lattice structure. Each carbon atom forms covalent bonds (1.42Å bond length, 120° bond angle) with three adjacent atoms through sp² hybridized orbitals. This planar structure creates atomically thin layers (0.335nm thickness) held together by van der Waals forces (~2eV/atom), with […]
