Rounding out the potential for Alaska graphite in lithium batteries

Graphite One Resources Inc. March 10 reported the start of development test work to produce carbon-coated spherical graphite from graphite sourced from its Graphite Creek deposit near Nome, Alaska.

Carbon-coated spherical graphite is the finished product used in lithium-ion batteries. The spherical shape allows the graphite to be more efficiently packed into battery cells, while the coating extend...
