[💡R&D] Silicon anodes that maintain their performance after 1,000 cycles. 🔋 Researchers from Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) have developed a special core–shell silicon structure using TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes. The design helps the anode withstand silicon expansion while keeping electricity flowing as the battery charges and discharges. This allowed the researchers to blend 20 wt.% of their Si-based composite with graphite—well above the ~5% typical industrial level cited in the study. In pouch cells, the technology delivered 275 Wh/kg and retained 75% capacity after 1,000 cycles.
Q4 has begun—and we’re hitting the road! 🚀🌍 This October and November, OCSiAl is heading to The Battery Show North America in Detroit, PLASTIMAGEN® MÉXICO, and the Batteries Event in Lyon. From next-generation batteries to advanced polymers, we’ll be there to show how a tiny amount of TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes can make a big difference in material performance. Big ideas, real-world solutions—and plenty to discover.
Conductivity in rubber shouldn’t come with compromises. From automotive and oil & gas to chemical processing, rubber components operating in harsh environments need reliable anti-static performance while remaining strong, elastic, and durable. These properties don’t have to compete. With just 0.3 wt.% TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes, rubber can achieve stable electrical resistivity while gaining up to 103% higher tear strength and 36% higher tensile strength—with elasticity and hardness preserved.
