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 ...

Electric vehicles, grid storage and consumer electronics are turning a once sleepy industrial mineral into a strategic prize, and that shift is reviving interest in graphite buried under U.S. soil. As ...

Researchers from Rice University's Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering, in partnership with Baylor University and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research ...

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.

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 ...
