Abstract:
       Against the backdrop of the "dual-carbon" strategy, the electric vehicles are progressively replacing fuel-powered vehicles to achieve carbon neutrality goals. As a key component of electric vehicles, the performance and manufacturing processes of lithium-ion batteries significantly impact the realization of the dual-carbon strategy. Among mainstream anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, artificial graphite offers superior performance but involves high production energy consumption and substantial carbon emissions, whereas natural graphite has lower energy consumption yet inferior performance. To resolve this conflict, natural graphite and artificial graphite were composited via spray drying, and the electrochemical performance of composite anodes with varying natural graphite/artificial graphite ratios was investigated. Results indicate that all composite anodes outperformed pure artificial graphite, with the 5∶5 natural-to-artificial graphite ratio demonstrating optimal performance—delivering a specific capacity of 360.7 mAh·g?1 after 550 cycles and a capacity retention rate of 98.4%. This approach provides a novel strategy for producing graphite anodes with low energy consumption and high performance.
