On April 10, 2024, OCSiA, a single wall carbon nano manufacturer in Luxembourg, Europe, learned that the company's construction of a single wall carbon nanotube dispersion production facility in Serbia has entered the final stage to help improve lithium-ion battery performance.

It is understood that as the largest single-wall carbon nanotube dispersion production plant built by OCSiAl, the Serbian plant has a planned production capacity of 3,000 tons, enough to meet the needs of more than 70GWh lithium-ion batteries, and some of the current production capacity has been scheduled by the world's well-known EV manufacturers and cell manufacturers.

According to OCSiAl, the Serbian plant will be built with advanced equipment and clean production lines to high quality standards. The company's current TUBALLTM BATT dispersion production has been optimized and upgraded on the basis of the previous generation, increasing the output per production unit by 15 times and producing up to 10 tons of dispersion per day.

OCSiAl's new plant in Serbia is scheduled to start production in the third quarter of 2024, and the production line can be replicated industrially, followed by further replication in other countries and regions such as Europe, Asia and the United States.

Located in Serbia, Europe, the single-wall carbon nanotube water-based dispersion plant with a capacity of 3,000 tons is about to be completed. After the optimization and upgrading of equipment and production lines, the output of each production line will be increased by 15 times, and it will provide reliable technical support for OCSiAl to further expand global production in the future. The application of OCSiAl single-wall carbon nanotubes in high-silicon negative and terpolymer positive electrodes has been further verified by customers and has irreplaceable excellent performance, which will accelerate the mass production of high-performance dry electrodes and solid-state batteries.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes have outstanding physical and chemical properties, which effectively connect the active material particles in the battery to form a strong and extensive conductive network structure. As a long and flexible material found in nature, single-walled carbon nanotubes not only exhibit excellent electrical conductivity, but also significantly improve the mechanical properties of the electrode. Compared with other carbon-based battery materials, such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes or carbon black, single-walled carbon nanotubes have more advantages in performance and show their unique advantages.Editor/Zhang Liyuan
