Biomass-Derived Hard Carbon Powder for Li-Ion Battery Anode, 100 g/bottle, CLIBABHC

Hard carbon is a non-graphitizable, amorphous material. Its structure is highly disordered and random, which creates larger interlayer spacing and internal micropores for ion-intercalation and migration.

The biomass-derived hard carbon (BHC) has been applied as lithium-ion battery anode due to its unique "house of cards" structure that can store lithium in two ways: (1) Intercalation (in its small graphitic regions); (2) Pore-filling (in its micropores). This dual-storage mechanism can lead to theoretical capacities higher than graphite's 372 mAh/g. Some research has shown capacities over 600 mAh/g.

Part Number	CLIBABHC (C-LIB-A-BHC)
Particle Size Distribution	D10 = 3.0 um;   D50 = 4.7 um;   D90 = 7.5 um
Tap Density	1.12 g/cm3
