In this study, we purpose alternative biomass-derived porous graphitic carbon from date seeds as anode material for a low-temperature lithium-ion battery. The as-obtained graphite was characterized by X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscope, Raman scattering and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The honeycombed structure of graphite shortens the diffusion path and provides excellent anode properties, showing high specific capacity at low temperatures.
