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

Charged EVs

Some advanced designs use a small amount of silicon, which can store more energy. Silicon has some very desirable properties—it stores significant amounts of energy, it’s very conductive, it’s lighter—but there are some challenges with it. It’s a petroleum product. Graphite is the critical component of all current anode designs.
