A highly ordered graphite was derived from the low temperature (1200 degrees C) graphitization of sugar carbon using an iron catalyst. This graphite has electrochemical performance that is similar to artificial graphites made at temperatures over 2500 degrees C, although its irreversible capacity is somewhat higher. Graphite made by the catalyzed pyrolysis of low cost and renewable plant derived precursors represents a new avenue for research in the development of high performance negative electrodes for Li-ion batteries.
