"A resilient battery supply chain is crucial for global electrification," said CarbonX's co-founder Rutger van Raalten. "Yet, we don't see sufficient alternatives for locally sourcing critical raw materials such as graphite."
CarbonX wants to offer European and American battery makers a way to source a graphite alternative that is not just locally-made, but greener and better performing.
CarbonX's unique 3D porous network structure improves electron and lithium-ion transfer, while it is still highly compressible to achieve high energy density in batteries.
Similar to graphite, this hexagonal formation creates spaces where lithium ions can insert themselves during charging. However, CarbonX says that its material has even more little crevices for the lithium ions to hide.
