Spherical Graphite

Power Materials

Spherical graphite is manufactured from flake graphite concentrates produced by graphite mines and is the battery anode material (BAM) used in lithium-ion batteries. The first part of the process consists of micronizing, rounding and purifying flake graphite to produce uncoated material. 

It is also known as battery-grade graphite, is the product that is consumed as an anode in lithium-ion batteries. This decreases the surface area, to allow more graphite into a smaller space, thus creating a smaller, lighter, more efficient anode for the battery.
