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

Charged EVs

Graphite is a pure form of carbon. This crystalline carbon allotrope is good for more than just pencils—it’s found in every EV battery anode, and producing graphite in the forms needed to build high-performance battery cells is a complex and exacting process. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms. John DeMaio: Correct.
