More info

Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) is a highly crystallized form of graphite with excellent grain alignment and a high degree of graphitization. It is produced from pyrolytic graphite (PG) through specialized processing, followed by high-temperature, high-pressure treatment, which enhances the structural order of carbon layers. This transformation results in a quasi-crystalline graphite structure with superior orientation properties. HOPG is widely used in scientific research, precision instrumentation, and industrial applications, including X-ray monochromators, neutron filters, and fundamental studies on graphite properties and intercalation compounds. Heeger Materials (HM) provides HOPG in A, B, and C grades, distinguished by their mosaic spread angles to meet diverse technical requirements.

*Note: Mosaic spread (△δ) indicates the alignment of (002) planes in polycrystalline graphite. Smaller △δ values mean better c-axis orientation, measured by X-ray diffraction using FWHM. In highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), △δ around 0.3° reflects minimal c-axis deviation.

Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) Applications

  • X-ray Monochromators: Used in X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy as a high-quality monochromator due to its excellent crystallinity and low mosaic spread.
  • Neutron Optics: Applied in neutron scattering experiments as neutron monochromators and filters, benefiting from its strong anisotropic properties.
  • Graphite Research: Serves as a reference material for studying the fundamental properties of graphite, including conductivity, surface structure, and intercalation compounds.
  • Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM): Commonly used as a substrate in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) due to its atomically smooth surface and layered structure.
  • Electrode Material: Utilized in electrochemical applications, including fuel cells and batteries, due to its high electrical conductivity and stability.
