Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. 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. Battery makers use a blend of CSG and synthetic graphite to form Li-ion battery anodes.
