Development of high power anode material for automotive li-ion batteries

Abstract

ConocoPhillips has engaged in research and development of carbonaceous materials as anode material for lithium ion batteries for the past 10 years and developed a technology platform for producing graphite anode materials for Li-ion batteries (Li-B). The CPreme® graphite powders were developed as anode material for Li-ion batteries, specifically addressing the challenging needs of Li-B in automotive and other high-power applications. The CPreme® graphite powders provide excellent combination of power, energy density, long cycle life and safety. This presentation provides details behind the technology platform used in making CPreme® graphites. Examples of how CPreme® graphites can help the LiB manufacturers meet the difficult requirements of future automobiles are discussed.
