A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

FEBRUARY 7, 2023

There are three main forms of graphite: spherical graphite is used in non-EV battery applications, whereas EV batteries use a blend of coated spherical graphite and synthetic graphite. Graphex is a major global producer and distributor of graphite in its various forms. Graphite is a pure form of carbon.
