Russia ke morekisi oa kantle oa li-electrode tsa graphite.Palo ea selemo le selemo ea li-electrode tsa graphite e ka ba lithane tse 40 000, tseo karolo e fetang halofo ea lisebelisoa e tsoang Chaena, 'me tse ling li tsoa India, Fora le Spain.Empa ka nako e ts'oanang, Russia e boetse e na le lithane tse ka bang 20,000 tsa li-electrode tsa graphite tse rekisoang selemo le selemo, haholo-holo United States, European Union, Belarus, Kazakhstan le linaheng tse ling.Kaha boholo ba libono tsa li-arc tsa motlakase linaheng tse boletsoeng ka holimo li ka holimo ho lithane tse 150, li-electrode tsa graphite tse rometsoeng ke Russia le tsona ke li-electrode tse kholo tse matla haholo.

Likarolo tsa phofo ea graphite: motlakase o matla le motlakase oa mocheso, bohloeki bo phahameng le sebopeho se phahameng sa kristale, botsitso bo matla (limolek'hule tsa carbon li lula li sa fetohe mocheso o phahameng), le lubricity e phahameng.
Yunai Carbon e na le boiphihlelo ba lilemo tse ngata ho hlahiseng thepa ea graphite, e etelletseng pele ho mahlale a ts'ebetso le ts'ebetso e phahameng ea litšenyehelo.Sekoahelo se ikemetseng sa tlhahiso ea phofo ea graphite se ka fana ka phofo ea boleng bo holimo ea graphite (bohloeki bo phahameng, bo tloaelehileng le bo bobebe ba graphite) bo nang le granularity e fapaneng ho latela litlhoko tsa bareki, 'me li-index tsa' mele le tsa lik'hemik'hale tsa lihlahisoa li feta boemo bo tloaelehileng ba indasteri.
