  • Patent number: 12281262
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of preparing an anisotropic pitch for carbon fiber, and more particularly, to a method of preparing an anisotropic pitch of preparing a pitch having a low softening point by thermally polymerizing heavy oil or residue oil generated in an oil refining process, extracting only a mesogen component, and then heat-treating at a high temperature for a short time. The anisotropic pitch prepared in the present disclosure has advantages of exhibiting the anisotropic content of 100% and controlling the anisotropic content only a simple temperature control as desired and may be used as a precursor of a high value-added carbon material such as carbon fiber and an anode material for a lithium secondary battery.

  • Publication number: 20240166522
    Abstract: The present invention provides: a method for preparing a petcoke-based artificial graphite negative electrode material for a lithium secondary battery, in which low-grade petcoke is used as a raw material, and artificial graphite having a high degree of graphitization is prepared through leaching and acid treatment of pulverized/classified low-grade petcoke in an acidic solution, followed by carbonization and graphitization; an artificial graphite negative electrode material for a lithium secondary battery, prepared thereby; and a lithium secondary battery.

  • Publication number: 20230002680
    Abstract: Provided are a method for manufacturing a high yield and high performance mesophase pitch and a high yield and high performance mesophase pitch manufactured therefrom by hydrogenating, mesophase formation, thin film evaporation, solvent-extracting, filtering and then drying to obtain only mesogen components in flow-domained mesophase pitch and then mixing the mesogen components with an isotropic pitch as a solvent component. Further, the high yield mesophase pitch of the present disclosure exhibits high spinnability while maintaining whole anisotropy and exhibits a much higher production yield than existing mesophase pitches.
