Graphjet Technology Achieves Breakthroughs in Green Graphite Production
Company Achieves Purity Level of 99.99% and Graphitisation Level of 98.8%
Kuala Lumpur: Graphjet Technology Sdn Bhd (GTSB) has achieved key breakthroughs in catalysing graphitisation to produce high-quality synthetic graphite with its patented green graphite production technology. Co-founder and CEO Aiden Lee said GTSB’s artificial green graphite, produced from palm-based biomass residues, has been tested by an authoritative third-party agency.
Results Exceed Industry Standards
“The result is a purity level of 99.99% and a graphitisation level of 98.8%, both of which exceed the standards of high-quality graphite,” Lee said. “These results verify that our patented technology is mature and reliable and that we are committed to providing industry-leading artificial graphite products to global customers, backed by proven metrics that they can trust.”
Pilot-Scale Testing Demonstrates Viability
GTSB’s green graphite technology is the first in the world to produce artificial graphite directly from palm kernel shells, a widely available waste product in Malaysia and Indonesia. Pilot-scale testing has demonstrated that GTSB’s artificial graphite can achieve purity levels of up to 99.99%, validating the company’s technology and ability to effectively compete with all forms of graphite production, including mining and other synthetic graphite operations.
High-Pressure and High-Temperature Graphitisation
The artificial graphite production process generally involves mixing raw materials, moulding, high-temperature and high-pressure graphitisation, and modification of graphite characteristics. A high level of graphitisation is key for the company’s green graphite technology, as high graphitisation demonstrates that the composition of the graphite lattice is highly organised and of a uniform crystal structure, resulting in improved physical and chemical characteristics.
Graphite of High-Quality
Graphite of this quality is a remarkable material for industries and applications such as lithium-ion batteries, thermal management, and graphite electrodes. “Throughout GTSB’s process, our core differentiator is our proprietary catalysts formula, which enables us to produce graphite of the highest quality cost-effectively,” Lee said.
Third-Party Validation
Notably, third-party labs in China have validated the company’s technological achievements. Higher graphitisation levels signify a higher percentage of graphite crystal formation within a graphite sample. The graphitisation level will depend on key factors, such as temperature, pressure, time, and graphitisation gas, during the graphitisation process.
Favourable Properties
Artificial graphite with favourable heat conductivity, stability, and chemical properties can be used to produce lithium-ion batteries, graphite electrodes, heat management systems, and high-performance porcelain. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the application fields of artificial graphite will expand further, and demand will continue to increase.
Conclusion
GTSB’s artificial graphite is a high-performance raw material, and its graphitisation degree is an important factor affecting its properties and applications. GTSB’s high-performance artificial graphite will enable the market to foster breakthrough technologies and new applications, signifying a wider range of applications.
