graphite material

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.G02687
A material consisting essentially of
graphitic carbon
.
Note:
The use of the term
graphite
as a short term for material consisting of
graphitic carbon
is incorrect. The term
graphite
can only be used in combination with other nouns or clarifying adjectives for special types of
graphite
materials (
graphite
electrodes,
natural graphite
and others). The use of the term
graphite
without a noun or clarifying adjective should be restricted to the allotropic form of the element carbon.
