Used in steel production to enhance strength and hardness. Common in electrodes for batteries and electrolysis due to electrical conductivity. Applied in filtration systems as activated carbon to remove impurities and contaminants. Serves as a pigment in inks, paints, and rubber products. Utilized in the form of graphite for lubricants and refractory materials. Employed in high-temperature applications like furnace linings. Used in carbon dating to determine the age of archaeological artifacts. Key component in organic compounds, forming the backbone of life-related molecules.
