Battery Materials
We are the only global player with a comprehensive product portfolio of additive materials for battery applications, including conductive additives, fumed metal oxides for cathode, separator and electrolyte stability, and aerogel for cell barriers to mitigate thermal runaway.
Conductive additives are small but critical components in battery electrodes, connecting active materials within a conductive matrix for efficient and durable charge transfer. These additives include conductive carbons, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanostructures (CNS). In addition to conductive additives, we also offer fumed metal oxides, which act as versatile rheology additives for adhesives, sealants, and electrolytes and serve as coating additives for cathode active materials and separators. For electric vehicle (EV) thermal barriers we provide aerogel particles.
Conductive Carbons
The capabilities of our conductive carbons span the entire range of particle size, morphology and surface properties desired by battery manufacturers and include the ability to blend and disperse.

Carbon nanotubes are tubular one-dimensional structures built with carbon atom unit rings which provide excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and good mechanical properties.
Read MoreCarbon Nanostructures (CNS)
Carbon nanostructures are a unique network of crosslinked carbon nanotubes produced using a proprietary roll-to-roll chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. This process enables CNS to have a greater carbon content than traditional CNT, delivering a unique blend of ultra-high conductivity and mechanical strength.

Conductive carbon dispersions are suspensions of finely ground carbon additives in a liquid used to improve the conductivity and performance of lithium-ion batteries.
Read MoreThe carbon additives in the dispersion are typically chosen for their high electrical conductivity and ability to improve the performance and lifespan of the battery. In addition to improving the conductivity of the battery, conductive carbon dispersions may also help to improve the capacity and rate capabilities of the battery.
