Carbon nanotubes, as conductive agents for lithium batteries, can improve battery capacity, cycle stability, and cycle life compared to other types of conductive agents. At present, adding carbon nanotubes as a lithium battery conductive agent to improve the industrial application of battery performance is an important research direction in the field of lithium batteries.
Compared with the traditional conductive agent, the carbon nanotube conductive agent is added in a small amount, which indirectly increases the energy density of the battery, and effectively improves the charge and discharge and cycle performance of the battery. After nearly ten years of promotion, the use of carbon nanotubes in the lithium battery industry has become increasingly popular. In addition to power batteries, carbon nanotube conductive agents have also begun to be used in digital batteries.
Market size forecast
It is predicted that the global demand for carbon nanotube conductive agent paste will maintain a compound annual growth rate of 40.8% in the next five years, and the demand in 2023 will reach 190,600 tons.
