Spherical graphite powder listed for secondary-battery anodes

Flake graphite spheroidized into high-FC powders (coated and uncoated ~18 µm grades) that the producer lists for secondary-battery anode use.

Problem solved

Anode makers need spherical natural-graphite powder with high packing density, low specific surface area and low oil absorption compared with flake, at a stated fixed-carbon level of 99.9% or higher.

Application contexts

  • Secondary-battery anode material
  • Resin and rubber conductive or thermal fillers

Technical principle

The producer states spherical graphite is made by mechanically spheroidizing flake graphite. Versus flake, it claims higher bulk density, lower specific surface area and lower oil absorption, plus directional conductivity and heat flow from the spherical shape. ASG-18 is uncoated (mean 17.5 µm); ACS-18 is coated (mean 18.0 µm).

Typical use cases

  • Natural-graphite anode powder for lithium-ion cells
  • Coated spherical graphite where a carbon coat is required
