Li-Ion Batteries

A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion Battery (LIB) is a type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge, and back when charging. They are one of the most popular types of rechargeable batteries for portable electronics, with high energy density, limited memory effect and low self-discharge. LIBs are also growing in popularity for military, electric vehicle, stationary energy storage and aerospace applications.

How can we help address your challenges?

Issue

High surface area in conventional graphite anodes leads to excessive SEI formation and lithium consumption during initial cycles, reducing first-cycle efficiency and overall energy density.

Solution

Superior Graphite’s low-surface-area synthetic graphite minimizes irreversible capacity loss, preserving active lithium and enhancing cell-level energy performance.

Issue

Automotive-grade batteries demand long-term cycling stability under varied operating conditions.

Solution

Thermally purified graphite with controlled morphology and crystallinity supports stable SEI formation and mechanical integrity, extending both cycle and calendar life.

Issue

Traditional graphitization methods are energy-intensive and often rely on overseas raw materials, raising sustainability and sourcing concerns.

Solution

Superior Graphite’s HTFB process reduces energy consumption by up to 75% compared to Acheson methods, while Western Hemisphere-sourced petroleum cokes ensure traceability and reduced logistical risk.

Issue

Fast-charging applications require anodes that maintain capacity and structural integrity at elevated C-rates.

Solution

Optimized particle size distribution and tailored porosity enable high-rate capability without compromising cycle life or safety margins.
