Mesocarbon Microbeads (MCMB) Graphite Micron Powder for Lithium Ion Battery

Lithium ion batteries has a lot of interest especially in recent years due to their superior properties like high energy densities, long cycle lives, and being friendly with environment. Lithium ion batteries are important power sources for electronic products, like cellular phones and laptop computers.
In lithium ion batteries carbon materials are generally used as anode materials because of their small surface change, structural stability during cycling and high energy density.
One of the carbon materials that is used in lithium ion batteries as anode material is mesocarbon microbeads. Mesocarbon Microbeads (MCMB) Graphite Micron Powder for Lithium Ion Battery are special kind of carbonaceous materials. Mesocarbon microbeads generally have spherical shape with the diameter of 1-50 µm and when mesocarbon microbeads are used as anode materials in lithium ion batteries, they can provide a reversible capacity of 300-340mAh/g and excellent cyclability which is a big advantage for the applications where high capacity is needed.
Another advantage of mesocarbon microbeads is that they can be in combination with silicon to have higher capacities and rechargeability. It is a fact that mesocarbon microbeads anode materials have the best cyclability among all the types of carbon anode materials. When we combine mesocarbon microbeads with silicon to obtain an anode material, we can obtain Silicon - mesocarbon microbeads composite material with high capacity and satisfactory rechargeability. So it is possible to extend the number of charging cycle of lithium ion battery by using silicon - mesocarbon microbeads composite anode material.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...
