often the most expensive is the cheapest. the far greater purity of large flakes make them the cheapest option. efficiency and thus cost reduction will come from the quality of the inputs. graphene is being used in the anodes to great effect. once again graphene varies greatly in quality. graphite is probably the most researched material in the world along with the large number of companies entering the market means competition will ensure the use of the best graphite will be the only way to have a competitive edge. the real way to evaluate graphite is not through cost but rather what the graphite is capable of achieving. the differences in conductivity. stacking and applicability are huge. there is not one graphite market but many determined by
the performance of the graphite. as for the synthetic spherical graphite, all one can say is the best graphite is superior to synthetic and much cheaper.[see research rs mines.] spherical is also a material that will be superceded [ as has already happened in the eyes of scientists] by mesoporous which far outperforms in terms of connectivity and capacity to absorb lithium.

Its all about crystalline strength guys! Small flake is better if stronger, large flake if brittle + no good.
The future is in micro flake.
