Lignin-based hard carbon from Nordic forests could replace graphite as battery anode material. These two companies are working on it.
, and others, has teamed up with Finnish paper and pulp producer Stora Enso to produce a battery that would feature an anode made from lignin-based hard carbon, sourced from Nordic forest wood. The sustainably sourced anode material would be part of the first industrialized battery featuring raw materials sourced entirely from Europe—far from the case at the moment. The two companies have signed a joint development agreement to mass produce this type of battery anode, dubbed Lignode.
Current lithium-ion batteries used in EVs are composed of the anode, cathode, electrolyte, and separator. The cathode serves as the source of lithium ions, while the anode stores and then releases lithium ions from the cathode; the electrolyte is the medium that helps the ions to move, with the separator preventing contact between the cathode and the anode.
