Graphite Anode Manufacturers
graphite anode manufacturers are developing new ways to produce this key component of lithium-ion batteries, which are used in electric cars and energy storage systems. One company, Magnis, is working to cut costs by producing the anode material from a non-traditional source: petroleum coke. This approach could have broad implications for battery cell production, as the price of coal pitch-based anode materials is expected to rise significantly over the next decade.
The company uses a patent-pending process to convert petroleum coke into high-quality spherical graphite, which it then coats with an expensive phenolic resin. The resulting product is anode material that has been tested to meet the performance requirements of various leading electric vehicle manufacturers. Magnis is seeking to secure long-term supply contracts to ensure that it has an adequate product portfolio and can respond quickly to customer needs as the industry shifts to electric vehicles.
NOVONIX Limited (ASX: NVX, OTC: NVNXF) has entered into investment and supply agreements with KORE Power to provide anode materials for the latter’s planned 12 gigawatt-hour facility in Buckeye, Arizona. The company intends to deliver 50,000 tonnes per year of its high-performance synthetic graphite anode material.
