⚠️The biggest barrier to high-silicon anodes is the loss of cycle life as silicon content increases.
📈 As silicon loading rises to unlock higher energy density, particle expansion and conductive network failure accelerate degradation.
🔗 Manufacturers using TUBALL™ SWCNTs break through this long-standing barrier, enabling higher silicon loadings without sacrificing durability.
🔹 Rethink what limits your anode design.

A data-driven comparison of single wall carbon nanotubes vs multi- and few-wall nanotubes—from morphology and intrinsic properties to real performance in battery applications—was delivered by 余秉駿 (James Yu), Sales Director of OCSiAl in Greater China. Representing the global leader in single wall carbon nanotubes, he took the stage at the International Conference on Carbon Nanomaterials in China—an event that gathered hundreds of leading experts in the field. Expectations were high, and OCSiAl delivered.
James also highlighted the IP and regulatory constraints that continue to limit multi-wall and few-wall materials worldwide—and demonstrated, with evidence from OCSiAl and global partners, why true single wall nanotubes stand in a class of their own, making it clear where the real high-tech frontier lies.

In which battery types can TUBALL™ be used? 🔋
In ALL of them. Just 0.02% TUBALL™ is enough to connect electrode particles in a way that provides an electrode with flexibility, mechanical, and electrical benefits 🔁 — regardless of chemistry. And TUBALL™ is easily added into existing slurry and coating processes, with no production changes needed 🧩.

[💡R&D] TUBALL™ enables safer, stronger GFRP for industrial environments, as shown by researchers from Tata Steel Ltd. With the addition of just 0.03 wt.% graphene nanotubes, standard GFRP reaches the 10⁶–10⁷ Ω safety window and gains up to +24% strength and +59% modulus, even after hygrothermal aging.
These lightweight, low-cost composites become suitable for oil & gas, chemical storage, electronics, cable trays, and other spark-sensitive infrastructure.

As we approach a decade of collaboration with one of OCSiAl’s earliest European distributors, Reschem Italia SpA, our teams have met once again to review progress and set new goals for the coming year and for the long-term development of the Italian market.
We exchanged ideas, explored new TUBALL™ opportunities, and visited the Tempio Voltiano and Villa Bernasconi museums, followed by an enjoyable boat trip across the lake. The energy and commitment from both teams highlighted the strong momentum we’ve built and the clear potential ahead.
This memorable day will only strengthen our partnership and inspire new directions for growth and innovation.
Here’s to the next chapter of progress together! 🚀

[💡R&D] TUBALL™ creates efficient electron highways in all-solid structural batteries, as shown in new research from National University of Singapore, @[A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research](urn:li:organization:164324), and Nanyang Technological University Singapore.
By adding SWCNTs to LFP cathodes and LTO anodes, the team formed a strong conductive network on carbon-fiber current collectors, boosting conductivity at ultralow loading, reducing polarization, and preserving high capacity. This improved electron pathway enabled successful scaling from single-layer to multi-layer and even bipolar (>5 V) structural batteries with stable cycling performance.

SWCNTs build an invisible, super-connected metro network inside an NCM cathode 🚇
Electrons travel like express trains—no traffic, no delays. Lower internal resistance, faster discharge at >3C, and stronger bonds between cathode particles.
The ride delivers:
⚡ Faster discharging
🛡️ Higher safety
💪 Better cohesion
And the best part—this nano-metro needs far less conductive agent, leaving more room for active material and higher battery energy.
