The 2018 Nano-Enhanced Materials Industry Summit focuses on lithium-ion applications for carbon nanotubes

More than 400 delegates from 22 countries gathered in Shanghai for the 2018 Nano-Enhanced Materials Industry Summit (NAUM). Executives, researchers, and experts shared their experiences with single-walled carbon nanotubes (used to improve material performance) in a variety of market applications, including lithium-ion batteries and energy storage.
industry elites around the world have been sharing and discussing the development of high-capacity positive and silicon negatives, propulsion energy storage and high-density electrodes based on nanotubes, and batteries have become a hot topic at the 2018 SHANGHAI NAM Summit . The core discussion revolves around batteries for electric vehicles, which are driving a shift in the way the industry is conducted.
"The overall trend of lithium-ion battery conductive additives is consistent with the ability of single-walled carbon nanotubes to provide maximum conductivity at ultra-low doses," explains Gao Xiaobing of the Institute of High Industry (GGII). "
batteries have been using TUBALL single-wall carbon nanotubes produced by OCSiAl." Because of its high aspect ratio and G/D ratio, dispersed nanotubes are very effective in batteries. In positive poles, low-dose nanotubes improve positive efficiency, energy density, capacity, storage performance, and cycle life. Dr. Jian Lin, Vice President of Battery Research and Development at Bick, said, "The cyclic performance of the SiOx negative pole is even more amazing. The addition of single-walled carbon nanotubes to the negative pole greatly improves the cycle life. "
testing a variety of conductive additives, battery manufacturers are looking for ways to achieve an energy density of up to 300 Wh/kg. A number of successful results from companies around the world have shown that small single-walled carbon nanotubes can achieve these ambitious goals and reshape the vast battery industry.
