GS GrEEN GRAPHITE Anode Material for lithium batteries
GS works jointly with the University of Warwick on development of new high-performance anode coatings based on graphite composite produced by GS.
One of the areas of research and development is a new and promising graphene anode composite, i.e. a mixture of GS graphene and secondary graphite from recycled lithium batteries.
C-RATE CAPABILITY OF FULL TESTING CELLS
GS Anode Graphite outperformed Synthetic Anode Graphite at higher C-rates.
The high C-rate battery is divided into a discharge rate and a charge rate, 1C means that the battery is fully charged, and discharged within one hour, 2C is 30 minutes, and so on 10C is 6mins.
Comparison of anodic graphite production technologies
- GS graphite processing technology allows producing graphite at a very low cost for lithium battery anodes.
- GS technology is environmentally friendly, which makes it possible to produce graphite for lithium battery anodes anywhere.
- Graphite processed by GS technology can be used in standard existing anode mixtures and does not require additional stages of micronization and spheroidization of graphite particles.
- Considering the approximate cost ($1200-1500/ t) of micronization and spheroidization of graphite, GS technology can significantly reduce the cost of anodic graphite for lithium batteries.
- The GS graphite processing is single-stage, does not require any additional cleaning and has low power consumption. These advantages of GS technology make it possible to drastically reduce the cost of production of GS anodic green graphite.
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA)
GS's new anodic graphite production technology makes it possible to drastically reduce the value of carbon dioxide emissions (LCA).
The LCA value of GS technology is 14 times less than the LCA value in the production of cSPG and Synthetic Graphite.
