Characteristics of an artificial graphite anode material for rapid charging: manufactured with different coke particle sizes

An artificial graphite anode material (10-15 mu m) is produced using coke at two sizes (10-15 mu m, 2-5 mu m) and the electrochemical properties are compared and discussed. We produce and measure an artificial graphite anode material using coke with a particle size of 10-15 mu m, limited lithium ion insertion-desorption pathways, increased migration pathways, and low-speed charge-discharge characteristics. When a block is manufactured using coke at a particle size of 2-5 mu m and an anode material is created with a particle size of 10-15 mu m, voids capable of storing lithium ions between the coke particles form inside the anode material. These spaces are utilized and the capacity was measured. In addition, the lithium ion insertion-deintercalation path and lithium ion diffusion distance are controlled and the high-speed discharge properties were measured (78.3%) at low temperatures (5C/0.1C, - 10 degrees C). At the same time, the high specific surface area due to the small size of the coke was controlled by the binder pitch used in the block, leading to excellent initial efficiency performance.

Automated summary

The electrochemical properties of artificial graphite anode materials prepared using coke at different particle sizes were compared. The results show that the anode prepared with coke particle size of 10-15μm exhibits good low-speed charge-discharge characteristics, while the anode prepared with coke particle size of 2-5μm forms voids capable of storing lithium ions. In addition, by controlling the lithium ion insertion-deintercalation path and diffusion distance, high-speed discharge performance at low temperatures was achieved.
