Shall we put a graphene coating on everything, then? Now all we have to do is figure out how.

These people sell single and multi-layer flakes and nanoplatelets….Since we probably only need a layer of say 20nm, equivalent to 2.4 mg for the anode if the layer is even, cost is not great, but one of us needs to start a converation with some of these experts to establish the best approach to coating, and to ask about stability at high temperatures.
