In the rapidly evolving landscape of energy storage, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) stand out as a cornerstone technology. Their efficiency, lifespan, and power delivery are critically dependent on the materials used in their electrodes. Among these materials, conductive carbon agents play a pivotal role, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a superior choice due to their exceptional properties. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is at the forefront of providing these advanced materials.

Traditional conductive additives like carbon black have limitations. While they form conductive networks, their effectiveness is often dependent on particle contact and can be sensitive to charging and discharging cycles. This is where CNTs, particularly high-purity multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with an average diameter of 15-30nm, offer a significant advantage. Their unique fibrous structure and high aspect ratio create a robust, three-dimensional conductive network within the electrode material. This network ensures efficient electron transport, which is crucial for maximizing the battery's capacity and improving its charge and discharge performance.

The primary function of conductive additives in battery electrodes is to compensate for the low electronic conductivity of active electrode materials. By incorporating CNTs, manufacturers can achieve a complete conductive network at much lower dosages compared to conventional additives. This not only improves the battery's overall capacity but also enhances its cycle life. The improved electron conductivity means that the electrode materials are utilized more efficiently, leading to faster charging and discharging rates. Furthermore, CNTs help maintain the electrode's electronic conductance even after numerous charge-discharge cycles, mitigating the degradation that affects battery lifespan.

The application of CNTs in battery materials is not limited to lithium-ion batteries; they are also being increasingly utilized in supercapacitors and fuel cells. Their large surface area facilitates interactions with active materials and catalyst supports, further enhancing device performance. As the demand for higher energy density and longer-lasting batteries continues to grow, the role of advanced conductive agents like carbon nanotubes will only become more critical.
