Resumen de IM24: : Graphite to stay dominant in lithium battery anodes
Graphite remain the preferred material for battery anodes, with growth in electric vehicle (EV) output forecast to generate growth of around 16% in graphite demand by 2025.
Graphite is set to remain the leading anode material component for lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries in the foreseeable future, with the battery industry poised to drive demand for the mineral, delegates heard at the 24th IM Congress in Barcelona on June 7.
Battery technology will continue to employ graphite as a key component going forward, and demand will increase as a result, according to Christoph Frey, managing director of Germany-based consultancy and graphite trading company ProGraphite.
