A form of liquid or gel known as a carbon nanotube dispersion is one that has carbon nanotubes (CNTs) floating in a solvant or surfactant.
Carbon nanotubes are cylinder-shaped structures made of carbon atoms. Due to their special properties, they have the potential to be used in a variety of fields, such as electronics, energy storage, and biomedical engineering.
Many techniques, including sonication, ultracentrifugation, and chemical functionalization, can be used to create carbon nanotube dispersions. These techniques aid in detaching individual carbon nanotubes from one another and keep them from clumping.
The end product can be used as a conductive ink for printing electronics, a reinforcing material in composites, or an additive for lubricants, among other things.
Yet, because carbon nanotubes have a propensity to aggregate and form clumps, it can be difficult to produce stable and high-quality carbon nanotube dispersions.
To create stable and uniform dispersions with the desired qualities, it can be helpful to control the dispersion parameters, such as the choice of solvent or surfactant, the concentration of carbon nanotubes, and the processing conditions.
Global carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The largest battery manufacturer in the world, CATL has chosen Toyocolor’s Lioaccum conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions for use in CATL’s next-generation high capacity li-ion batteries.
Toyocolor is the colourants and functional materials division of the specialty chemicals company Toyo Ink Group of Japan (LiB). Installation of lioaccum CNT dispersions into mass-produced cars is anticipated to commence.
By the use of highly conductive CNTs, the Lioaccum dispersion used by CATL is a crucial component that helps to increase the capacity and energy density of LiBs.
Although the stable distribution of high-performance carbon nanotubes was originally thought to be difficult to create, Toyocolor was able to overcome technical challenges and produce highly stable CNT dispersions of high quality by using its specialised dispersion technology.
Toyocolor, whose primary area of expertise is carbon dispersion, has provided carbon black dispersions for LIB cathodes. Active materials, conductive materials, and a binder make up the majority of LIB cathodes.
Toyocolor was able to obtain conductive performance with a minimal amount of material by using CNTs as a substitute for carbon black as the conductive material.
