FAQs of Artificial Graphite Series GS16-S

1. What is the graphitization process, and how does it affect artificial graphite properties?

Graphitization is a high-temperature treatment (parasti2,500–3,000°C) that converts amorphous carbon into crystalline graphite. This process enhanceselectrical conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical strength by aligning carbon layers into a highly ordered structure. The degree of graphitization impacts key properties:

• Higher temperatures improve crystallinity, reducing resistivity.
• Longer dwell times enhance structural perfection but increase costs.
• Katalizatori (e.g., boron, iron) can accelerate graphitization at lower temperatures.
  Optimizing this process is crucial for applications like Li-ion anodes and high-purity electrodes, where performance depends on crystallinity and defect minimization.

2. How does artificial graphite compare to natural graphite in battery anodes?

Artificial graphite offerssuperior cycle life and stability due to its engineered microstructure, while natural graphite has higher capacity but poorer rate capability. Key differences:

• Particle morphology: Artificial graphite has uniform spherical particles, enabling better packing density and electrolyte penetration.
• Surface area: Synthetic grades have lower BET surface area, reducing SEI formation and improving Coulombic efficiency.
• Impurity control: Artificial graphite achieves <100 ppm metallic impurities, critical for EV batteries.
  Tomēr, it requires pitch coating or silicon blending to match natural graphite’s capacity (~360 mAh/g vs. ~372 mAh/g).

3. What role does binder pitch play in artificial graphite production?

Coal tar or petroleum-basedbinder pitch (10–20% wt.) is essential for shaping green bodies before carbonization. Its functions include:

• Providing plasticity for extrusion/molding.
• Acting as a carbon source during pyrolysis, enhancing yield.
• Influencing porosity: Low-softening-point pitches reduce cracks but may increase shrinkage.
  Advanced mesophase pitch (e.g., Mitsubishi AR) can improve graphitizability, yielding higher-density products for EDM electrodes or aerospace components.

---

4. Why is purification critical for nuclear-grade artificial graphite?

Nuclear reactors require graphite withultra-low neutron absorption cross-sections, demanding:

• Halogen purification: Removes boron (<0.1 ppm) via chlorination at 2,500°C.
• Ash content <5 ppm: Minimizes neutron poisons (e.g., vanadium, cadmium).
• Isotropic structure: Ensures uniform thermal/mechanical behavior under irradiation.
  Post-purification, graphite must resist radiolytic oxidation—achieved through SiC coatings or dopants like phosphorus.

---

5. How do pore structure modifications enhance artificial graphite for fuel cells?

ForPEM fuel cell bipolar plates, graphite is engineered with:

• Controlled porosity (10–20%): Balances gas diffusion and mechanical strength.
• Hydrophobic treatments: PTFE coatings prevent water flooding.
• Conductive fillers: Carbon nanotubes reduce interfacial contact resistance (<10 mΩ·cm²).
  Such modifications optimize corrosion resistance (<1 μA/cm²) un power density (>1 W/cm²) in acidic environments.
