Abstract

"CNT Containing Dispersions for Application in NCM Cathodes"

Cabot Corporation is a world-leading specialty chemicals and performance materials company. We offer the broadest conductive additive (CA) product portfolio. This includes commercially proven carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbonna nostructures (CNS), as well as related dispersions and blends.

CNT and CNS possess remarkable properties, including exceptional electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. There properties make CNTs attractive for the use as CAs for lithium-ion batteries.

In this presentation we will discuss the current state of CNT-containing dispersions, in particular, how these materials can enable high energy and improved fast charging capability in lithium-ion batteries
