Carbon Black Nanopowder: History, Characteristics, Uses, Production, Sources

The  nanopowder of Carbon Black  is conductive and non-polluting. The applications of Carbon Black Nanopowder are versatile, the sectors involved are plastics, electronics, inks, coatings, and green technology.  Carbon Black is predominantly used as reinforcing filler and in the rubber industry.  Approximately, thirty grades of it are produced for this purpose so they impart a wide spectrum of properties to rubber products. History of Carbon Black Nanopowder Carbon Black is produced by different activities such as the  incomplete combustion of fossil fuels , including diesel and fuel oil, as well as the burning of firewood, among others. Carbon black was initially produced in China by incomplete combustion in oil lamps and intended to provide the black pigment of the Indian ink. In 1912, it showed exceptional qualities for rubber tire reinforcement. Production Capacity of Carbon Black Nanopowder In 2017, the global production capacity was 16 million t...

Conductive Carbon Black for Lithium Ion Battery Applications

Nowadays there is a rapid development in lithium ion batteries because of their usage in electronics like mobile phones and electric vehicles. There are basically  anode  and  cathode  parts of lithium ion batteries and when we look at the cathode part we can see that it consists of particles of active material and inactive materials. For inactive materials we can give conductive additives as an example. Conductive additive plays a role in increasing in the electric conductivity. For conductive additives carbon black can be given as an example.  Conductive Carbon Black for Lithium Ion Battery Applications  optimizes the electrical conductivity of the positive electrode but is not involved in the electrochemical redox process in lithium ion battery. Actually the main duty of carbon black in lithium ion battery is to contribute to enhancing the cathode cyclability by filling the free spaces in between the particles of active material. So by this action t...
