Focus Graphite Unveils Its Highly Conductive Ultrafine and Expanded Graphites For Battery Cathodes Creating a Complete Line of Value-Added Lac Knife Graphite Products for Lithium-Ion and Alkaline Batteries
Testing Indicates Electrical Conductivity of Lac Knife’s Ultrafine and Expanded Graphites Outperform Commercially Available Synthetic and Standard Flake Graphites by up to a Factor of 10
OTTAWA – Focus Graphite Inc. (TSX-V: FMS; TCQX: FCSMF; FSE: FKC) is pleased to report that ongoing independent testing of its new ultrafine grades of flake graphite and expanded, natural flake graphite from its Lac Knife, Québec Project demonstrate up to 10 times the electrical conductivity over standard grades of synthetic and natural graphite used in Li-Ion and Alkaline battery cathode applications.
Focus Graphite is the sole owner of the Lac Knife high purity graphite project located just south of Fermont, in the Cote Nord District of Québec. The Company’s aim is to produce value added coated spherical graphite and expanded graphite products for anodes and cathodes used in a range of battery applications.
Focus Graphite’s new superfine grades of flake graphite and the ultrafine grades of expanded graphite were first presented at the 34th International Battery Symposium (IBS) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by Dr. Joseph Doninger, Focus’ Director of Technology and Manufacturing on March 21, 2017. (The complete technical presentation entitled “Advances in the Performance of Lac Knife Natural Flake and Expanded Graphite in Electrochemical Power Sources” can be accessed by following the link)
Dr. Doninger’s presentation also included the introduction of the Company’s Superfine Coated Spherical Graphite product to add to its standard and fine grades developed previously and an update on long-term battery cycle testing.
The Company’s latest achievements are an extension to Dr. Doninger’s developmental efforts first reported on March 31, 2016 at the 33rd International Battery Seminar. That initial publication of expanded graphite test results demonstrated that the expanded Lac Knife flake graphite produced nearly doubled the electrical conductivity of the cathode mix when compared with the standard competing grades of synthetic and flake graphites.
Expanded graphite is a form of processed natural crystalline flake, featuring dramatically improved electrical conductivity in cathode mixes. Delaminated expanded flake is also preferable to conventional air-milled flake and/or premium quality synthetic graphites when higher conductivity properties are desired.
