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

Charged EVs

Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. Some advanced designs use a small amount of silicon, which can store more energy. The anode side of the battery is where electrons or ions are stored during charge and moved to the cathode side during discharge. John DeMaio: Correct. Charged : Do all anodes use graphite?
