Carbon/Graphite: Battery Materials

Vapor Grown Carbon Fibers (VGCF™) are used as additive for LIBs. Because the average diameter of the fiber is as small as 150nm, the material performs very well as an electrically and thermally conductive filler. The material is chemically stable and can be used in the anode or cathode resulting in longer battery life. Further information can be obtained here.

Classification of the substance according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP):
– Specific target organ toxicity, repeated exposure Category 1 (lungs) (inhalation), H372

This Structure Controlled Micro Graphite (SCMG^™) powder is used as anode material which improves the load current characteristics and charge & discharge cycle life of lithium-ion batteries.
