Umgubo wegraphite ngumgubo ocoliweyo owenziwe ngegraphite yendalo. Ineempawu ezizodwa zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali kwaye inoluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo kushishino, i-elektroniki, kunye nobunjineli bemichiza.
Okokuqala, umgubo wegraphite ubonisa ukuhanjiswa kombane okugqwesileyo. Ngenxa yokuba igraphite yiallotrope yekhabhoni, ulwakhiwo lwayo oluneleyile luqulethe ii-electron zamahhala, ezivumela ukuqhuba okusebenzayo ngoku. Oku kwenza i-graphite powder ibe yinto eyaziwayo ye-electrode, i-additive edibeneyo yeebhetri, kunye necandelo leengubo zokuqhuba. Okwesibini, umgubo wegraphite ubonisa ukuthambisa okugqwesileyo. Ulwakhiwo lwayo olunqamlekileyo luvumela ukuba kube lula ukwenza ifilimu yokuthambisa ngexesha lokubetha, ukunciphisa i-coefficient of friction. Oku kuyenza isetyenziswe ngokubanzi kwizicelo ezibango ezinje ngoomatshini bokuthambisa,{5}}ubushushu obuphezulu bokuthambisa, kunye ne-aerospace.
Umgubo wegraphite ukwabonisa ukumelana nobushushu obuphezulu{0}. Nokuba kubushushu obuphezulu, umgubo wegraphite ugcina iipropati ezizinzileyo zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali kwaye uxhathisa i-oxidation okanye ukubola. Ngoko ke, iqhele ukusetyenziswa kwiinkqubo{3}}zobushushu obuphezulu obufana nesinyithi kunye nokuphosa. Ipowder yegraphite ikwabonisa uzinzo olugqwesileyo lweekhemikhali kunye nokunganyangeki okuqinileyo kwe-corrosion, okwenza ukuba imelane nokuhlaselwa ngamachiza anje ngeasidi kunye nealkali. Ifanelekile kwiikhemikhali ezichasa{6}}izaleko zokubola kunye nemathiriyeli yokutywina.
Enye into ephawulekayo yomgubo wegraphite yindawo yayo ephezulu ephezulu kunye nomthamo we-adsorption. Isakhiwo sayo esilungileyo sibonelela ngommandla omkhulu, ubhengeza ngokufanelekileyo ukungcola okuvela kwiigesi kunye nolwelo. Ngenxa yoko, inezicelo ezibalulekileyo ekukhuselweni kwendalo, ukucocwa kwamanzi amdaka, kunye nenkxaso ye-catalyst.
Ngamafutshane, umgubo wegraphite, kunye nezibonelelo zayo ezizodwa ezifana ne-conductivity, ukuthambisa, ukuxhathisa{0}} kobushushu obuphezulu, ukuzinza kweekhemikhali, kunye nomthamo we-adsorption, idlala indima engenakuthathelwa indawo kushishino lwangoku. Ngenkqubela phambili yezobuchwepheshe, iindawo zokusetyenziswa kwe-graphite powder ziya kuqhubeka zanda, kwaye ixabiso layo lemarike liya kuqhubeka linyuka.
