?Graphite – one of the vital battery metals to benefit from surging shortage

There are 3 types of graphite: Flake, Amorpheusand Vein.

Because of its unique structure graphite has a stellar combination of properties: for example, it is flexible, highly refractory, chemically alert and has high thermal and electrical conductivity.

Today, Flake graphite is the type of graphite that has the most interest of the industry, because it is the type of graphite that the Tesla 3 model requires for its lithium-ion battery giga-factory and also to be used by international prominent makers.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence has said that if it reaches its target capacity of 35 GWh by 2020, it may need 25,000 tonnes per year of lithium, 12,500 tonnes per year of flake graphite, 45,000 tonnes per year of spherical graphite and 7,000 tonnes per year of cobalt.

Fuel cells use even more graphite than lithium-ion batteries and might replace combustion engines as a more efficient means of converting fuel to energy. Fuel cells of all sized are also making their way into the personal electronics sector and even into the utilities sector.

Flake graphite is also an essential part of vanadium-redox battery technology, with nearly 300 tonnes of flake graphite per 1,000 megawatts of required storage,
