Carbon content in graphite electrodes is an important factor for high-quality products. It's a crucial component of electrical conductivity, and also contributes to the resistance of the product to high temperatures. Graphite Electrode, which is usually made of carbon material that has been strengthened with Binder in order to withstand high temperatures and mechanical force. The binder is often a petroleum waste product such as coal tar pitch or petroleum coke.
Addition of humic acids to carbon binder will also encourage the desorption and dissolution of lithium ions on the graphite surface. The result is an energy-storing graphite with increased reactivity and porosity. The redox properties of the humic/graphite/carbon hybrid electrode were compared to those of an electrode made from lignin. The lignin-based electrode showed a lower discharge capacity and less stable performance.
A Graphite Electrode consists of several different components, but the most important is the Carbon Material. This product is resistant to high temperatures and has many uses, including the melting of metals using an Electric Arc Furnace. It is also used to provide electrical conductivity, for high-voltage industrial processes such as welding.
There are several methods to produce a Graphite Electrode, but the most common uses Coal Tar Pitch as the binder. This waste material is made from coal tar. It has a variety of solid and liquid constituents. It's a good choice for high-temperature application because it can tolerate harsh conditions and last for a very long time.
Graphite Electrodes in this study were tested by cyclic voltammetry at reducing potentials using NaPi buffer. The 25% PE GDE, the pure Graphite electrode and the 15% PE GDE all showed an electrochemical spectrum between -1.5 and 1.5 V.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to characterize Graphite Electrodes. The Graphite Electrodes without any PE showed a typical Warburg-type EI spectrum with a classic constant phase parameter, while the 10% PE GDE and the pure Graphite exhibited a more diffuse EI spectrum. The EIS for the Graphite Electrode containing humic acid also showed an enhanced capacitive reaction, whereas those without HA showed a decrease in capacitance.
The Graphite Electrodes containing humic has improved ORR, CE and yield of H2O2 compared with unmodified electrodes. In an aqueous gastric fluid simulation solution, the humic-graphite material showed improved stability. It is less environmentally friendly to use lignin cathode than to synthesize humic acid graphite electrodes, as they require a high amount of biomass.
