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

Charged EVs

Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. Battery makers use a blend of CSG and synthetic graphite to form Li-ion battery anodes. The anode side of the battery is where electrons or ions are stored during charge and moved to the cathode side during discharge. Graphite is a pure form of carbon.
