Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are an advanced technology that will play a key role in the energy transition to renewable and sustainable solutions. High energy-density, long cycle-life, and improvements in safety have driven their adoption. Applications in automotive, grid energy storage, and consumer electronics will continue to drive their growth in the coming years.
The anode is a key component of the battery of which graphite continues to be the dominant material because of low cost, abundance, non-toxicity, and structural stability. However, to improve the battery performance alternative materials are being investigated such as graphene and graphene oxide. This application note will analyze these three materials using several Micromeritics physisorption devices.
In this case study, the commonly used anode material in lithium-ion batteries, graphite, was characterized by BET surface area and DFT surface energy distribution and compared with other alternative anode materials.
