Lignin-derived anode materials could offer a greener alternative to graphite for lithium-ion batteries

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Writing in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering , Talia A. Thomas et al. assess carbonized lignin as an alternative to synthetic graphite for lithium-ion battery anodes. Under modeled low-temperature pyrolysis conditions, carbonized lignin could reduce energy demand by up to 84% and greenhouse-gas emissions by 92% relative to synthetic graphite.
