Graphite is a versatile form of carbon, valued for its conductivity, lubricity, and thermal stability. Its layered structure makes it essential in batteries, heat-resistant materials, and industrial lubricants. Graphite is also crucial in manufacturing electrodes and moderating nuclear reactors. While stable and non-toxic, handling fine graphite powders requires care to avoid inhalation. Chemically, it consists of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms in planar sheets.
