Breaking the graphite barrier Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on graphite as an anode material. However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are ...

Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon composed of carbon atom layers stacked on top of each other. These layers are loosely bonded, allowing them to slide past one another and giving ...

Exposing graphite to an intense ultrashort mid-infrared laser pulse induces a highly conductive light-matter hybrid phase as optically excited electrons strongly couple to coherent optical phonons.

Regardless of the cathode chemistry, be it LFP or NCM-based, the majority of commercial batteries rely on graphite as their primary anode material. Battery-grade graphite can be sourced either ...
