What is Graphite, and Why is it so Important in
Graphite is a crucial component of a lithium-ion battery, serving as the anode (the battery''s negative terminal). Here''s why graphite is so important for
Fig. 1 Illustrative summary of major milestones towards and upon the development of graphite negative electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. Remarkably, despite extensive research efforts on alternative anode materials, 19–25 graphite is still the dominant anode material in commercial LIBs.
Practical challenges and future directions in graphite anode summarized. Graphite has been a near-perfect and indisputable anode material in lithium-ion batteries, due to its high energy density, low embedded lithium potential, good stability, wide availability and cost-effectiveness.
As a matter of fact, important EV manufacturers,358 material suppliers,285 and cell producers359 have recently announced that such graphite-containing composites will mark the state-of-the-art for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, providing significantly enhanced energy densities compared to the current technology.
