Natural graphite
Graphite mined as flake, then milled, spheroidised and coated for use as a negative active material. It is cheaper than synthetic graphite and has slightly higher capacity, with more variability between sources.
Example
Manufacturing: an example situation
An electrode can meet coating mass targets but fail adhesion or moisture checks later.
Read Natural graphite alongside Anode active material in this context. The lithium host in the negative electrode: natural or synthetic graphite in almost every lithium-ion cell today, sometimes blended with a few percent of silicon to raise capacity.
Use in Lemonergy
Place operations and quality checks in process order.
This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
