Artificial Graphite Anode Active Material (C) Powder

Overview

AG-R Artificial Graphite Anode Active Material is a high-purity synthetic graphite powder engineered for lithium-ion battery anodes requiring excellent cycling stability, high coulombic efficiency, and consistent electrochemical performance. Manufactured via controlled graphitisation processes, this material offers uniform particle size distribution and optimised surface characteristics for advanced battery research and pilot-scale development.

Working Principle

Artificial graphite functions as a reversible lithium intercalation host during battery operation. Lithium ions intercalate between graphene layers during charging and de-intercalate during discharge, enabling stable and repeatable electrochemical cycling. The engineered particle morphology of AG-R graphite supports efficient lithium diffusion, reduced irreversible capacity loss, and high initial coulombic efficiency.

Key Material Specifications

• Particle size (D10 / D50 / D90): ~6.5 µm / 15.1 µm / 32.1 µm
• Tap density: ~0.87 g/cm³
• BET surface area: ~1.97 m²/g
• Initial efficiency: ~95.5%
• Reversible capacity: ~356 mAh/g

These characteristics make AG-R graphite well suited for high-energy-density lithium-ion cells with stable long-term performance.

Compatibility & Integration

AG-R Artificial Graphite is compatible with common lithium-ion battery formulations, including standard carbonate-based electrolytes and widely used binders such as PVDF, CMC, and SBR. It integrates seamlessly into electrode fabrication workflows using slurry casting, calendaring, and pouch or coin-cell assembly.

Typical Applications

• Lithium-ion battery anode research
• Cell prototyping and optimisation studies
• Academic and industrial electrochemistry research
• Performance benchmarking of anode materials
