High Performance Batteries
Less CNT material required compared to traditional conductive additives such as carbon black or graphite to achieve the greater conductivity and storage.
Faster charging rates – The excellent electron transport enables rapid charge and discharge cycles, which matters for electric vehicle applications where charging time affects user experience.
Better cycle life – CNTs form mechanically robust networks that buffer volume changes in active materials during charging and discharging.
Higher energy density – Since you need less conductive additive material, more space becomes available for energy-storing active materials.
Minimizes structural deformation over repeated charge-discharge cycles, preventing the performance degradation that plagues conventional materials.
Real World Application by CCT
1% weight of CCT's CNT Carbon Composite added to an EV anode increased the distance travelled by 25%
Cement CNT loading (0.1–2% by weight) can improve:
-
Compressive strength: +25–45%
-
Flexural strength: +40–60%
-
Fracture energy: Significant increase
-
Shrinkage control: Reduces cracking risk during curing
-
Decreases volume needs by up to 45%
-
Functionalise the cement
CNTs added to complex alloys, polymers and resins - revolutionising space, engineering and systems
-
CNTs are 100 times stronger than steel and 1/5 of the weight
-
When added to polymers they can survive in high / low temperature environments including space.
-
They can manage high friction environments with high tolerance to corrosion, elasticity and elongation without compromising structure
