Glassy carbon plate, 4mm (0.16in) thick, type 1
Description
Glassy carbon plate, is used as fuel cell and Due to their specific surface orientation, glassy carbon is employed as an electrode material for the fabrication of sensors. It is also used in mechanical applications such as when used as a structural component of a furnace. It is also used as also used for certain thin film deposition experiments. Chemically modified glasssy electrodes have been employed for the analysis of organic molecules (viz., Paracetamol, aspirin, caffeine, phenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, dopamine, L-dopa, epinephrine, nor epinephrine, methyl parathion, ethyl parathion, venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, imipramine, trimipramine, desipramine etc.) as well as metal ions (bismuth, antimony etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Type 1 is a "low temperature" glassy carbon produced by heat treatment at ~ 1,000-2,000°C and consists of discreet fragments of distorted graphene layers. In general, type 1 is less compressible, more resistant to oxidation, and less permeable to gasses. Type 2 is a"high temperature" glassy carbon produced by heat treatment at ~2,500-3,000°C and consists of broken or imperfect fullerene-like nanospheroids encased in a disordered, multilayered graphene matrix. Type 2 usually contains fewer impurities and has higher electrical and thermal conductivity.
