Market Growth for Synthetic Graphite

Market Growth for Synthetic Graphite

As we close the book on 2023, synthetic graphite is experiencing sustained market growth driven by several factors such as the growth in steel production, the continued demand for lithium ion batteries, and the growing demand for graphite in many other sectors. Below, we’ll look at some of the drivers of the increase in synthetic graphite, and even natural graphite, production we are currently experiencing. Growing Demand for Lithium-Ion Batteries With the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems, synthetic graphite, particularly in the form of graphite anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, was in high demand in...

Graphite and Oxidation

Graphite and Oxidation

A recurring issue we hear about from people using graphite components is graphite oxidation. This term describes unwanted redox reactions where oxidizing agents modify graphite properties negatively. Hence, especially at high temperatures, steps need to be taken to eliminate oxygen presence so that oxidation and deterioration of graphite components is avoided. Semco strives to educate our clients who order custom graphite components about the proper environments in which those components should operate. However, new clients will come to us expressing their frustration that graphite components are failing long before they should. One reason to work with the synthetic graphite experts...
