The outlook for the graphite market is promising due to its usage in the battery industry and energy storage applications, as well as steel-making. With China dominating the natural graphite market, ...

Graphite isn’t just used for pencils — it's also a key lithium-ion battery component due to its high conductivity and quick-charging capacity. This means the graphite sector could experience tailwinds ...

In parts one and two of this three-part series, we laid the foundation for why graphite is one of the most important critical ...

Why it matters: Graphite is the largest component in lithium-ion batteries by weight. Accounting for losses during the manufacturing process, it takes over 30 times more graphite than lithium to make ...

As more and more Americans embrace electric vehicles, automakers and the federal government are racing to secure the materials needed to build EV batteries, including by pouring billions of dollars ...

Graphite is one of the essential minerals needed to produce lithium-ion batteries, but the US is largely lacking in domestic production of the key material. As a result, most graphite used in domestic ...

Nuclear reactors – both old and new designs – use a lot of graphite as it is a key component. It is also one of the components in a reactor that gets deformed due to the radiation. The reason behind ...

A New Zealand startup is using wood to make synthetic graphite for EV batteries. CarbonScape uses leftover woodchips from timber making to produce batteries. Western nations are seeking alternatives ...
