Graphite Opportunity - EVs, Stationary storage systems

Graphite Threat - Improvements on silicon anodes - Lithium metal - Limited supply

While graphite anodes are widely used in lithium-ion batteries, LTO serves as an alternative, particularly in applications prioritizing safety, durability, fast charging, and power density over energy density. LTO is commonly used in mild hybrid vehicles for its high power density.
