Dual-functional graphitic carbon materials from methane pyrolysis for lithium-ion batteries
...
This study investigates using graphitic carbon materials produced from a catalytic CH4 pyrolysis process via iron ore catalysts as anode materials and conductive additives in cathodes of LIBs. Purified graphitic carbon materials exhibit excellent electrochemical performance compared to commercial natural graphite and carbon black conductive additives.
...
This study demonstrates the potential of carbon materials from CH4 pyrolysis as a high-performance dual-functional graphitic carbon material for LIBs, opening the door to utilizing more sustainable carbon materials in the battery industry.
