With the ever-growing reliance on batteries, the need for the chemicals and materials to produce these batteries is also growing accordingly. One area of critical concern is the need for high quality graphite to ensure adequate energy storage capacity and battery stability.

A bonded carbon fiber monolith was made using a coal-based pitch precursor without a binder.

Synthesis of Spherical Carbonaceous Particles via Spray Drying from Coal-Based Precursors for Energy
A process has been developed to convert coal, or waste streams from coal processing (e.g., coal refuse) into graphite for use as anode in lithium-ion batteries

We disclose a process based on the application of thermal annealing treatments in air at temperatures near but below the melting temperature of PEEK that effectively suppress melting and promote shape retention during pyrolysis, thus enabling the manufacture of carbon fiber-re
