EcoGraf Confirms Superior Performance of EcoGraf™ Battery Material in Recent Electrochemical Analysis

EcoGraf Limited (ASX: EGR) is pleased to announce the latest results from its electrochemical analysis of preferred feedstocks for its proposed EcoGraf™ battery graphite facility in Kwinana, Western Australia. The results demonstrate the significant impact of graphite source on battery performance, reinforcing EcoGraf's position as a superior alternative in the battery anode supply chain.

Unrivaled Performance of EcoGraf's Preferred Feedstocks

In the test program, EcoGraf's preferred feedstocks, including the Epanko material from the company's development-ready project, outperformed existing materials commonly used in the lithium-ion battery market. These results mark a crucial step forward for EcoGraf as it aims to develop a superior battery graphite product using its proprietary EcoGraf™ purification process.

Crystallinity and Battery Performance

One key finding of the electrochemical analysis is the direct relationship between the crystallinity of battery graphite and its performance. Factors such as power output, battery life, and charging capability are heavily influenced by graphite crystallinity. The testwork confirmed that the physical properties, mineralogy, and degree of crystallinity of each natural graphite source directly impact battery anode performance within the lithium-ion battery.

This observation is significant because graphite sources vary in their geological setting, and not all sources can meet the strict specifications of battery manufacturers. The crystallinity of natural graphite deposits is determined by the geological conditions and the duration and intensity of temperature and pressure forces that shaped the graphitic rocks. Higher crystallinity is achieved through prolonged exposure to higher temperature and pressure.

Independent Verification and Reliable Results

The electrochemical testwork was conducted at a leading independent German research institute, known for its collaborations with major lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle manufacturers. Through the testing on uncoated natural graphite after processing using EcoGrafTM purification, the institute was able to provide reliable comparative results.

Future Prospects for EcoGrafTM Battery Products

With the superior performance of its preferred feedstocks, EcoGraf is now uniquely positioned to offer a cost-competitive alternative material for the battery anode supply chain. The results demonstrate the potential of EcoGrafTM battery products to revolutionise battery performance and meet the increasing demands of the expanding lithium-ion battery market.

EcoGraf remains committed to its mission of developing sustainable and high-performing battery graphite solutions while minimising the environmental impact of battery production.
