How Is High-Purity Graphite Made and Where Is It Used?
With growing demand for electric vehicles and grid storage, the U.S. is onshoring synthetic graphite production to secure domestic battery supply chains and reduce reliance on imports.
Anovion is a relatively new company that makes synthetic graphite for battery production in the US. The company was started before the Infrastructure Act or Inflation Reduction Act, but its timing couldn’t be better. Chip Dunn, the company’s Chairman and co-founder, talks about ramping up production so North American battery manufacturers can source their graphite locally without going overseas.

Fueling the Future with Domestic Battery Materials
Synthetic graphite is a cornerstone of the lithium-ion battery revolution—but today’s supply chains rely heavily on China. The U.S. must accelerate onshoring efforts to remain competitive, resilient, and sustainable.
