Every element and industry that Battery anode materials is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

- [Vehicles, ships, rail, aircraft](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/battery-anode-materials-and-vehicles-ships-rail-aircraft/): Every lithium-ion cell in an electric vehicle needs an anode, almost always graphite, the largest active material in the cell by mass. China refines more than 90% of the world's graphite and has required licences for key graphite exports since December 2023, so carmakers' battery supply chains outside China depend on new anode plants that take years to qualify. *(researched)*
