DOE awarding $1.6B to 11 battery materials separation and processing projects as part of $2.8B funding

Green Car Congress

Syrah’s Vidalia facility is an integrated milling, purification, coating, and surface treatment operation producing on-specification active anode material (AAM), using natural graphite from Balama graphite operation in Mozambique. This investment would allow Albemarle to process 8,000 tons per day (2.7 Li 2 O spodumene concentrate.

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

Charged EVs

Graphite is the critical component of all current anode designs. Some advanced designs use a small amount of silicon, which can store more energy. There’s a lot that goes into not just the graphite technology, but graphite as a part of a bigger ecosystem in the battery. Charged : How much synthetic is used in a typical anode?
