SWCNT vs MWCNT and Nanofibers. Applications in Lithium-Ion Batteries and Transparent Conductive Films

摘要

Due to their unique electrical properties, carbon nanotubes are used as conductive additives in various applications. In our study single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), carbon black and nanofibers are evaluated as conducting agents in a cathode in a Li-ion cell. We also compared properties of transparent conductive coatings on the surface of polymer film produced of SWCNT and MWCNT. The results show that SWCNTs are feasible alternative to conductive agents currently used in Li-ion batteries and transparent conductive films.
