Graphite: why this form of carbon is vital to a low-carbon future.
Everyone knows about lithium, and about how it’s used in batteries for almost every electronic device, but lithium is only part of the story.
Today we’re talking about graphite and my guest is John DeMaio, CEO Graphex Technologies and President of Graphene Division of the Graphex Group Ltd.
Anthony Day: John, welcome to the Sustainable Futures Report.
John DeMaio: Anthony, it’s a pleasure to be here with you.
EV Battteries
Anthony Day: Okay, now I learn that your organisation is amongst the top 10 producers of graphite for electrical vehicle batteries. Now, I didn’t know that graphite was used for anything apart from pencils, and suddenly I find it’s in EV batteries. EVs are the way to sustainability for a lot of people.
So clearly this is very important and fits right in with the Sustainable Futures Report. Just tell us more about how graphite features in these products.
John DeMaio: Yeah, you bet. That perception is pretty common, Anthony, quite frankly, starting with the fact that electric vehicle batteries are normally referred to as lithium-ion batteries.
