[Graphite](https://www.materialinsights.org/commodities/graphite/) (commodity) and [Next-generation lithium batteries](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_li_next/) (energy): 1 relationship.

## How they are linked

### 1. Price link: displaced material

*Cost and price · Weak · Both ways*

Silicon and lithium metal anodes would reduce graphite use per cell. The graphite proxy shows no link to the battery proxy, with monthly moves at 0.03, as it covers mostly electrodes for steel furnaces rather than battery anodes.
