Basic Information about Lithium Battery Conductive Agents
Overview: Many people might not be familiar with lithium battery conductive agents and their key points. As a manufacturer, we would like to take this opportunity to explain the basic information about lithium battery conductive agents, hoping to provide some practical help.
What Are Lithium Battery Conductive Agents?
- Main Functions:
- Conducting electrons.
- Absorbing electrolyte.
- By adding conductive agents, the lithium-ion battery’s rate capability, cycle life, internal resistance, and capacity can be improved.
- It’s important to use the right amount; too much or too little can negatively impact energy density and the capacity of the positive electrode.
- Types of Conductive Agents:
- Metal Conductive Agents.
- Carbon-based Conductive Agents: These are the most commonly used and include Super-P, acetylene black, graphite, VGCF (Vapor Grown Carbon Fibers), and CNT (Carbon Nanotubes).
- Choose the right type based on your specific needs. Our product range is diverse, and we have models to meet the requirements of various industries. Our quality is assured as a reputable company.
- Electrical Resistivity:
- CNT (Carbon Nanotubes): Lowest resistivity.
- VGCF: Next lowest.
- Super-P: Higher resistivity.
- VGCF and CNT face challenges related to dispersion and cost.
- Market Insights:
- Some domestic manufacturers are researching well-dispersed conductive liquids, but the results aren’t very cost-effective.
- Currently, Super-P and conductive graphite are widely used conductive agents.
- Acetylene black, particularly the nanoscale superconductive type, is also effective and can significantly improve conductivity with just a small amount.
- Advantages and Quality Assurance:
- Our products have many advantages and are guaranteed in terms of quality. If you need high-quality conductive agents at reasonable prices, consider our products.
By understanding these points, you can make better-informed decisions when purchasing lithium battery conductive agents. Stay tuned for more insightful information in future updates.
