Tender Details

Opportunity:
NETL is seeking collaboration to further develop and commercialize a low-temperature catalytic method for synthesizing highly crystalline, low ash content, graphite from coal, biomass, petroleum coke (PET coke), and/or plastics with recovery & reuse of catalyst & process acid.
Background:
Current methods for producing synthetic graphite involve the Acheson process which heats petroleum coke (PET coke) to extremely high temperatures ( 2800 C) for 3-5 days with material cooling occurring over a 2-3 weeks. This method is extremely energy intensive, limited to a small set of expensive manufacturing feedstocks (e.g. premium PET coke), and lengthy to implement. There is a need for methods that reduce energy consumption, reduce manufacturing time scales, and offer feedstock flexibility.
Description:
NETL researchers developed a process for producing high quality synthetic graphite powders using an Fe-based catalyst. The method reduces processing temperatures to
Advantages/Benefits:
Reduced energy consumption
Reduced processing times
Reduced costs
Feedstock flexibility; low cost feedstocks.
Potential Applications:
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes, Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery electrodes
Moderator material for nuclear reactors
Crucibles, electric arc furnace Electrodes (EAF), metallurgical electrodes, refractory materials
DoD gunpowder, munitions
Carbon-carbon composites, general graphite additive for composites
Development Status:
Current stage of technology development: TRL ☐ 0-2 ☒ 3-5 ☐ 5-9
NETL has filed for patent protection on this invention.
NETL is seeking industry partners with ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our partners gain a competitive edge in the marketplace through licensing and/or cooperative research and development collaborations. Interested parties can discuss thi...
