Targeted Structure and Property Optimization of Carbon-based Anode Materials
The focus is on the pyrolysis of organic precursor compounds such as polymers or petroleum coke, which serve as carbon-rich starting materials and are converted into hard carbon or synthetic graphite through high-temperature processes. A key challenge in this context is the precise control of structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties.
In particular, controlling precursor chemistry as well as pyrolysis and graphitization conditions is crucial to achieving reproducible, application-specific material properties. Systematic adjustment of process parameters enables the targeted optimization of material performance.
At the same time, innovative process and material approaches offer significant potential for advancing production methods. To fully exploit this potential, tailored solutions are required that are precisely aligned with specific requirements and can be developed collaboratively.
Your Benefit:
Targeted process control enables the production of reproducible, application-specific anode materials with well-defined properties.
