Spheroidization Modification of Artificial Graphite Applied as Anode Materials for High Rate Lithium Ion Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rate capability tests showed that artificial graphite after spheroidization treatment exhibited a higher capacity in the higher C-rate region (2~10C) at a 0.1 C rate charge and variable C-rates discharge. Artificial graphite after spheroidization treatment exhibited a higher capacity in the higher C-rate region (0.5~9 C) at the same C-rate charge and discharge. These results show that artificial graphite after spheroidization treatment has a large amount of isotropic microstructures that lithium ions can intercalate into the graphene layers from all directions via edge-plane surfaces. Therefore, the artificial graphite is more suitable than natural graphite for the anode materials of high rate batteries.
