Once fabricated, the nanocomposite anodes would be used in batteries just like conventional graphite structures. That would allow battery manufacturers to adopt the new anode material without ...

Graphite has attracted global interest due to its unique anisotropic properties, including excellent electrical and thermal ...

Graphite is the primary anode material in electrical vehicle (EV) batteries. Typically, graphite is mined and concentrated to ~95% purity by companies such as Gratomic.

Lin said that Ascend Elements is able to take graphite that’s been contaminated during an initial shredding step back to 99.9% purity, exceeding EV industry requirements, while also retaining ...

Understanding what synthetic graphite is and how it differs from natural graphite is important for investors, as each industry typically needs a specific type of graphite. Here’s a look at the ...

As tensions between the US and China continue to shape global trade, tariffs have become a central weapon in their economic standoff.
