Behind every high-performance lithium-ion battery (LIB) is a carefully engineered anode made of carbon. But how exactly is this material produced — and what role do petroleum byproducts play in its journey from raw feedstock to finished anode?
This post takes you behind the scenes of the anode production process, spotlighting key materials like calcined…
From smartphones to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, batteries are the silent enablers of our daily lives. Their importance will only grow: by 2030, global demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is expected to grow more than fivefold, driven primarily by EV adoption and grid-scale energy storage solutions (IEA, 2023). But what powers the battery,…
