In recent years, with the adjustment of my country’s economic structure, the application trend of flake graphite gradually turning to the field of new energy and new materials is obvious, including conductive materials (lithium batteries, fuel cells, etc.), oil additives and fluorine graphite and other fields of consumption will be large The rate of increase is expected to exceed 25% in 2020. The following Furuite graphite editor will introduce to you how to view the price increase of flake graphite:
Especially with the investment of lithium-ion batteries, the demand for flake graphite will be further stimulated. For lithium-ion batteries, flake graphite can not only prolong battery life, promote stable voltage, enhance conductivity, but also reduce battery costs. Therefore, flake graphite plays a vital role in batteries. It is estimated that by 2020, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in my country will be at least 2 million. If 1 million vehicles use lithium-ion batteries, at least 50,000 to 60,000 tons of battery-grade graphite and 150,000 to 180,000 tons of flake graphite are required. It is expected that the world’s electric vehicle production will exceed 6 million, and it is estimated that 300,000 to 360,000 tons of battery-grade graphite and 900,000 to 1.08 million tons of flake graphite are needed.
Regardless of whether the price increase of flake graphite is a temporary impulse, one should be soberly aware of the strategic position of flake graphite, especially large flake graphite. Regardless of whether flake graphite will continue to be high-priced and high-profile, its rapid development trend is unchanged. In order to cope with the possible shortage of large flake graphite products in my country in the future, on the one hand, my country should appropriately strengthen geological exploration, on the other hand, adjust the graphite ore dressing process and increase the research and development of new graphite products to realize the localization of key technologies.
