The following is a summary of the core advantages and disadvantages of carbon electrodes, integrating multiple research results:
I. Main advantages
Youdaoplaceholder0 Low cost
The production does not require graphitization treatment, significantly reducing energy consumption (for example, graphitization requires an additional electricity consumption of about 4,500 KWH per ton). The raw material is mainly coke, and its price is lower than that of metal electrodes or graphite electrodes.
Excellent chemical stability
It is resistant to strong acid and alkali corrosion, has strong oxidation resistance at high temperatures (the surface oxide film can delay consumption), and is suitable for harsh environments such as electrolysis and metallurgy.
Good electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity
The conductivity meets the requirements of most electrochemical reactions; The surface of carbon atoms can adsorb organic/biomolecules through π-π stacking, which is conducive to…
