FBI CRC Super Anode Project
Australia’s Super Anode Project advanced high‑performance anode materials, boosting national battery capability and creating major value‑adding opportunities for Western Australia’s graphite sector.
Australia’s Super Anode Project has strengthened national capability in advanced anode materials, supporting the growth of Australia’s battery industry. Delivered under the FBICRC and in part funded by MRIWA, the project benchmarked Australian graphite, reduced natural graphite wastage, enhanced silicon‑anode performance toward 1000 mAh/g, and completed a full analysis of natural‑graphite anodes.
The work established Australia‑based anode‑development expertise, delivered cost‑performance advantages, and generated economic benefits through new skills, jobs and investment. Applications include lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion anodes, conductive coatings and supercapacitors, alongside reduced graphite‑processing costs.
For Western Australia, the project adds value to the graphite economy by enabling the conversion of graphite concentrate into refined, spheronised and siliconised anode material tailored for battery manufacturing.
