Ni iki uzi kuri grafiti?

Graphite ni imwe mu myunyu ngugu yoroshye cyane, ifite karuboni imwe, n'imyunyu ngugu ya kristu igizwe n'ibintu bya karuboni. Urufatiro rwayo rwa kristu ni imiterere ifite urwego rwa hexagonal; intera iri hagati ya buri rwego rw'urukuta ni uruhu 340. m, intera iri hagati ya atome za karuboni mu urwego rumwe rw'urusobe ni pikometero 142, zigize sisitemu ya kristu ya hexagonal, ifite ihuriro ryuzuye ry'imiterere, ubuso bw'urusobe bwiganjemo imigozi ya molekile, kandi gukurura molekile ni gake, bityo ubushobozi bwayo bwo kureremba buri karemano ni bwiza cyane; impande za buri atome ya karuboni zihujwe n'izindi atome eshatu za karuboni binyuze mu guhuza covalent kugira ngo habeho molekile covalent; kubera ko buri atome ya karuboni itanga electron, izo electron zishobora kugenda neza, bityo graphite ni conductor, Imikoreshereze ya graphite irimo gukora ibyuma by'ikaramu n'amavuta, n'ibindi.

Imiterere ya girafiti irahamye cyane, bityo girafiti ishobora gukoreshwa nk'icyuma gikingira ikaramu, ibara ry'uruhu, icyuma gisukura, nibindi, kandi amagambo yanditse hamwe na girafiti ashobora kubikwa igihe kirekire.
Graphite ifite imiterere yo kudakoresha ubushyuhe bwinshi, bityo ishobora gukoreshwa nk'ibikoresho birwanya ubushyuhe. Urugero, ibikoresho bikoreshwa mu nganda zikora ibyuma bikozwe muri graphite.
Graphite ishobora gukoreshwa nk'igikoresho gitwara amazi. Urugero, inkoni za karuboni mu nganda z'amashanyarazi, electrode nziza z'ibikoresho bya mercure positive current, n'uburoso byose bikozwe muri graphite.
