Abstract
In this paper, three generations of natural graphite are described in order to show the evolution in understanding of which physical and electrochemical requirements are needed to make usable graphite for practical lithium-ion batteries. Of the three alternative types of carbonaceous materials discussed in the paper, the optimum has been found to be natural graphite. Its behavior has been compared with the behavior of graphitic mesophase carbon microbeads and hard carbon materials. The comparison allowed summarizing key guidelines to design new generations of active materials. The capacity, irreversible capacity loss, rate capability, safety and packing density are some of the key characteristics, we concluded, are essential when developing new generations of high packing density andlow surface area graphitic carbons.
