Natural graphite, coated

Stable cycling was achieved in the fall 7Ah cells with a composite of spherical natural graphite coated with A1 and then stabilized with a rigid carbon coating of the disordered nature. Further investigation is needed to fally understand the effect of rigid carbon shell on the electrochemical performance of graphite-based composite materials.

The graphite materials used in this study include SL-20 which is round edge natural graphite, and SLC-1015 which is the surface coated natural graphite from the type of untreated precursor SL-20, and both samples were obtained from Superior Graphite Co. 

In conclusion, the surface modified natural graphite has good performance in PC based electrolyte and also meets the power requirements for hybrid electrical vehicle applications. Surface carbon coated natural graphite SLC1015 is a very promising material in high power Li-ion batteries with lower cost, reasonable safety, and low irreversible capacity.

The comparative 2016 coin cell data of the uncoated vs. Si-coated spheroidized natural graphite precursor vs Li metal counter electrode (Figure 5) reveals a remarkable effect of metal addition onto the reversible capacity of anode. Thus, the starting material s reversible capacity increased from approximately 350 mAh/g to over 510 mAh/g (data taken at 0.8V vs Li/Li+), which is 1.37 times higher than the theoretical value of the reversible capacity for graphite.
