Carbon nanotubes have been regarded as a possible contender as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to their distinctive one-dimensional tubular structure, strong electrical and thermal conductivities, and exceptionally large surface area.
In this chapter, we go through the mechanism of lithium-ion intercalation and diffusion in CNTs as well as the impact of various structural and morphological variations on the effectiveness of CNTs as LIB anode materials. We review and discuss CNTs in relation to the framework and conductive additives in LIBs at the conclusion of this chapter.
Rechargeable batteries have made portable gadgets, which represent the greatest technological advancement in human history, a reality everywhere. Lithium-ion batteries, or LIBs, are at the center of this revolution because of their high reversible capacity, high power capability, good safety, long life, and zero memory effects.
The need for improved safety, flexibility, and longer battery life for portable devices and hybrid electric vehicles, however, further motivates study into the electrochemistry of these materials. Battery performance depends on the quality of the electrode materials.
Recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology present opportunities for developing novel nanostructured electrode materials for better-performing LIBs of the next generation.
Due to their controllable surface area, constrained mass and charge diffusion span, and volume change acclimation during charging and discharging, nanostructured materials are essential to these advancements. Carbon nanotubes, or CNTs, are thought to have a distinctive 1D tubular structure, outstanding electrical and thermal conductivities, mechanical flexibility, and a significant amount of surface area.
The Global Carbon nanotube battery market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
CNano Technology Ltd. revealed that it has officially launched super conductive paste products based on carbon nanotubes for use in lithium ion battery applications. The super conductive paste is used as a conductive additive for lithium ion battery cathodes and anodes to improve battery energy and power density, cycle life, and safety. It takes advantage of both the physical and electrical features of carbon nanotubes.
The volume of carbon nanotubes manufactured by CNano is the basis for this paste product. With minimal loading but a significant improvement in battery performance, it takes the place of the conventional conductive additives for lithium ion batteries, especially for high power applications like electrical cars and power equipment.
