The quite crisis of graphite
Why graphite is the bottleneck in the battery trade war
www.lithiumhorizons.com
📮 Everyone talks about lithium. Yet graphite, without which lithium-ion batteries simply wouldn’t work, is quietly becoming a major bottleneck.
In my latest article, I expose why graphite represents a critical risk for the energy transition and what it all means.👇🏻

🔋China connects the world’s first GWh-scale supercapacitor-battery energy storage system.
The 25MW supercapacitors will support the grid through frequency regulation, inertia support. Batteries will provide long duration energy shifting and peak shaving.

🔋Researchers at KAUST found an electrolyte additive that enables a 180Wh/kg sodium-ion battery cell (comparable to LFP).
Although still at research level, this is an example of innovation that can completely redefine the economics of low-cost batteries.

🔋China is cutting tax rebates on battery exports.
These rebates refund part of the VAT exporters pay, helping keep Chinese batteries cheap overseas.
As they’re reduced and then removed from 2027, exporting batteries will likely cost more, pushing up global prices.

Single crystals are less prone to cracking and have superior stability resulting in batteries with better cycle life.

Kisuk Kang et al. report the synthesis of cation-disorder-free 10 μm single-crystalline layered oxides enabling ultrahigh-nickel cathodes to approach their theoretical density limit with added performance advantages.
Approaching the theoretical density limit of ultrahigh-nickel cathodes via cation-disorder-free 10-μm single-crystalline particles - Nature Energy
Single-crystalline layered oxides can reduce capacity decay in nickel-rich cathodes, but controlling both the particle size and cation disorder is challenging. This work reports cation-disorder-free ~10-μm single-crystalline cathodes that deliver high volumetric capacity and cycle stability as well as improved safety.
