What is the development trend of graphite electrodes?
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the application prospects of graphite electrodes will be broader. In the future, graphite electrodes are expected to play an important role in new energy, new materials, high-end equipment manufacturing and other fields. For example, the use of graphite electrodes to prepare new energy storage devices such as high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries and solid-state batteries will help solve the problems of low energy density and slow charging speed in traditional batteries. In addition, graphite electrodes also have broad application prospects in the preparation of high-temperature superconducting materials and the growth of nanocarbon tubes.
