Artificial graphite is the predominant anode material used today in lithium-ion batteries. - This decision by the US government is critical for building a local supply chain that has been dominated by China for decades.
- NOVONIX’s artificial graphite production processes focus on large-scale and sustainable production to advance the North American battery supply chain, with its Riverside operations on track to be the first large-scale battery-grade artificial graphite facility in North America.
- The North American Graphite Association (NAGA), of which NOVONIX is a member, has been actively engaged in support of this decision and commented in a recent press release.3
