Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing a thermally stabilized agglomerated lignin-carbon composite material. The method involves the steps of providing an agglomerated lignin-carbon composite material comprising lignin and at least one carbon additive; and heating the agglomerated lignin-carbon composite material to obtain the thermally stabilized agglomerated lignin-carbon composite material. The invention is also directed to a granular carbon-carbon composite material obtained by heat treatment of the thermally stabilized agglomerated lignin-carbon composite material.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing an agglomerated lignin-silicon composite material. The method involves the steps of mixing lignin in powder form, at least one silicon-containing active material in powder form and optionally at least one additive; compacting the mixture; and crushing the compacted composite material to obtain an agglomerated lignin-silicon composite material. The invention is also directed to a granular carbon-silicon composite material obtained by heat treatment of the agglomerated lignin-silicon composite material.

Abstract: A circuit breaker and a power supply system are disclosed. The circuit breaker includes a mechanical switch circuit, where the mechanical switch circuit includes a busbar, a power module, and a drive module. The power module includes a movable contact and a stationary contact, where the stationary contact is electrically connected to the busbar, the movable contact is movable, when the movable contact is in contact with the stationary contact, the mechanical switch circuit is conducted, and the drive module includes a movable coil and a stationary coil, where the movable coil and the stationary coil are placed adjacently, so that the movable coil and the stationary coil repel or attract each other based on whether current directions are the same, and the movable coil is configured to drive the movable contact to be in contact with or disconnected from the stationary contact.
