  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005295",
  "term": "Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite electrode",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An electrode fabricated from graphite that has been subjected to high temperatures and pressures, resulting in a highly ordered crystalline structure with a preferred orientation. This material exhibits excellent electrical conductivity and a low density of edge plane defects, making it suitable for electrochemical studies. It is often used as a substrate for studying electron transfer reactions and for scanning probe microscopy.",
