What is it?
Conductive carbon materials exhibit high electrical conductivity due to their unique structural and electronic properties. These materials, which include graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon fibers are increasingly used as conductive additives in batteries.
Why is it important?
Conductive carbon materials have high electron mobility and low electrical resistance, making them excellent conductors of electricity. Many conductive carbon materials, such as carbon fibers and graphene, have high strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for applications where lightweight and durable materials are required. Conductive carbon materials can be synthesized and processed in various forms, such as films, fibers, composites, and inks, allowing for their integration into a wide range of products and applications.
What industries will it impact?
Electronics and semiconductors, Aerospace and automotive, Renewable energy, Additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
