AI Customer ServiceVolume: Graphite is a relatively light material (compared to components like nickel and cobalt), but still accounts for 10-20% of a battery by weight because of how much of it is used in anode material.
AI Customer ServiceGraphite for batteries currently accounts to only 5 percent of the global demand. Graphite comes in two forms: natural graphite from mines and synthetic graphite from petroleum coke. Both types are used for Li-ion anode material with 55 percent gravitating towards synthetic and the balance to natural graphite.
Storage Capability: Graphite’s layered structure allows lithium batteries to intercalate (slide between layers). This means that lithium ions from the battery’s cathode move to the graphite anode and nestle between its layers when the battery charges. During discharge, these ions move back to the cathode, releasing energy in the process.
The mineral graphite, as an anode material, is a crucial part of a lithium-ion (Li-on) battery. Electrek spoke with John DeMaio, president of the Graphene Division of Graphex Group and CEO of Graphex Technologies.
Historically, 70-80% of the natural graphite used in EV batteries has been sourced in China, and almost all midstream processing of graphite has been done in China/Asia. Graphex has been a significant supplier of coated purified spherical graphite since 2013, primarily into the power battery markets in China.
Assuming each vehicle will be powered by a 60 KWh battery, this will be sufficient to produce 3.3 million vehicles per year. At this rate, the industry will be consuming about 172,000 tpa of graphite, including both natural and synthetic material, for producing Li-Ion battery anodes.
Despite these developments, supplying suitable grades of natural graphite for battery use remains a challenge. Only medium and fine flakes meet the stringent requirements, and converting these flakes into spherical graphite for batteries involves significant material losses.
