The low-temperature performance limits of Johnson Matthey ~JM! 287 graphite and mesocarbon microbead ~MCMB! 6-10 coke were investigated using galvanostatic intermittent titration ~GITT! and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The poor lowtemperature (230°C) performance of graphite insertion anodes results from a low lithium insertion capacity because polarization or overpotential is higher ...

Ceramics-coated graphite powders are considered an effective raw material to fabricate the three-dimensional continuous ceramics skeleton reinforced matrix composites which can overcome their inherent poor densification, mechanical and antioxidation properties. However, morphology thickness regulation of ceramic coatings on particles still a great challenge. Herein, SiC-coated (graphite@SiC) we...

In recent years, many studies have focused on the active materials of anodes to improve the performance of LIBs, while limited attention has been given to polymer binders, which act as inactive ingredients. However, polymer binders have amazing influence on the electrochemical performance of anodes. Herein, to investigate the binding performance between MCMB artificial graphite and the copper c...

C-SiC composites with carbon-based mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) preforms are new type of highpreformance and high-temperature structural materials for aerospace applications. In this study MCMB-SiC composites with high density (2.41 g.cm-3) and high bending strength (210 MPa,) was prepared by cold isostatic press of mixed mesophase carbon powder derived from mesophase pitch with different amoun...
