Glassy carbon splinter powder, 80-200 micron, type 1
Description
Glassy carbon splinter powder is used as such in purifying metals, in electrodes, electrical devices & steel. L-Cysteine methyl ester modified glassy carbon powder (CysOMe-GC) has been shown to have potential for the removal of toxic heavy metal ions, such as copper(II), cadmium(II) and arsenic(III), from real water samples. Amorphous carbon may be used to develop zero temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) based systems. Glassy carbon has been used as a catalyst support for bimetallic Rh-ReOx. It may be used to enhance the accuracy of infrared (IR) surface temperature measurements on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

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.
