Flake graphite
Power Materials
There are three main types of graphite: Flake, Vein, and Amorphous. Flake graphite is formed when carbon material is subjected to high pressure and high temperature. The carbon source material can be either organic or inorganic, although most commercially sourced flake graphite comes from organic deposits. The graphite is a key component in the lithium-ion batteries that electric and hybrid cars use, and it's also found in fuel cells. In fact, fuel cells require more flake graphite than lithium-ion batteries. Flake graphite is also used in vanadium-redox batteries and nuclear reactors.
