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 ...

A KIER research team led by Dr. Yu-Jin Han and Dr. Sang-Hoon Park has developed a core technology to refine industrial graphite byproducts into high-purity anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, a ...

Turning plastic into solid carbon is not easy. Heat the polymers to rearrange their carbon atoms, and they decompose into light hydrocarbons and gases. But researchers at the US National Energy ...

Despite probable bumps in the road ahead, caused by faltering economies and component shortages, more than 13m plug-in fully electric or hybrid passenger cars are likely to be sold this year, ...
