Negative electrodes of lithium batteries can be divided into two categories: carbon materials and non-carbon materials. Carbon materials include artificial graphite, natural graphite, mesophase carbon microspheres and hard carbon and soft carbon. Artificial graphite is the product of converting coke raw materials into graphite after graphitization at high temperature.

Power battery

Domestic power batteries except BYD basically use artificial graphite, BYD and Japan and South Korea mainly use natural graphite, but they are also turning to artificial graphite.

Small lithium battery

Small lithium batteries such as mobile phones and notebook computers, and high-end products are mainly artificial graphite.

Coke raw material

So the lithium battery factory needs coke.
