Synthetic Graphite Powder in Lithium-Ion Batteries

 

Synthetic Graphite is a manufactured product produced from amorphous carbon materials with extremely high-temperature processes and it is an extremely versatile material. Normally, the primary feedstock for making synthetic graphite is calcined petroleum coke and coal tar pitch. They are composed of highly graphitizable forms of carbon. Synthetic graphite products can be applied on many occasions, such as friction, foundry, electrical carbon coatings, conductive fillers and drilling applications. Due to the layered lattice structure, electrons can freely move between layers, making it a highly valued material for lithium-ion batteries. Nowadays, with the development of new technologies in electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries are one of the huge consumptions of synthetic graphite products. The utilization of artificial graphite in electric vehicle batteries supports increasing energy density and reducing charging times.

 

The features of graphite can make sure the battery remains stable in the process of charge and discharge cycles. This structural stability assists in maintaining the lithium batteries' integrity, which extends the battery life. Relatively, graphite is a light material, especially when comparing nickel or cobalt. Regarding environmental protection, Graphite produces less heavy metal pollution after the abandonment. Also, to marching towards a sustainable future, understanding and advocating for responsible sourcing, Xinhui Carbon always provide our clients with high-quality synthetic graphite products. They come in at least three types: UHP, RP and HP according to the density, electrical resistance and flexural strength.
