Conductive Carbon Black Finds Application in Production of Lead-Acid Batteries Used in Powering Electric Vehicles
Conductive
carbon black is a material that has the ability to carry an electric charge. It
is often used in the manufacturing of high performance electronics. Some of the
applications of this material include soldering, panel charging, solid
capacitors and thin film batteries. In electrical engineering, it is a solution
that allows for the transportation of electricity through conductive fibers.
The
typical small conductive
carbon black used in manufacturing is made of graphite. The so-called
all-wire or small conductive carbon black is utilized because larger grades of
this specialty carbon black impart electrical conductivity at lower critical
point fractions than traditional carbon black. These small carbon conductors
are used in many applications. For instance, they are commonly used in thin
film batteries and fuel cells. They are also used in solar panels to reduce the
cost and weight of solar power equipment. Conductive carbon black find
application in lead-acid batteries. The demand for lead-acid batteries is high
in Germany with significant development in electric vehicles.
The
use of this non-porous, metallic surface in the production of electrical
conductive carbon nanotubes is based on the ability of these substances to be
coated with multiple layers of lead ice. This coating improves the electrical
conductivity and purity of the conductive carbon nanotubes. Because of the
purity of the carbon nanotubes, the purity of the final product can be
extremely high; up to 90% conductive carbon nanotube products with trace amounts
of impurities are produced.
The
use of carbon nanotubes in electronics has resulted in a dramatic increase in
both the area of high electrical conductivity and purity. Due to their large
surface area, the nanotubes can be formed into long thin wires capable of
storing energy. These devices have the potential to be used for various
applications including batteries, vehicle engines, medical and cosmetic
implants, solar panels and more. Because the particles are encapsulated in the
metal, they are very small and do not create any excess heat or debris when
they are utilized.
Since
the development of these materials, several advancements in the field of
nanotechnology have been made. One such advancement is the use of carbon
nanotubes as functional fillers in gels that are used in the manufacturing of
hard water. These substances are insoluble in other types of solvents, which
allows them to be added as additives during the manufacturing process. When
added as gels, the solvents are changed from clear to murky water, which allows
the water to percolate through the composite material in the gel and form the
carbon nanotubes that are encapsulated within the gel. This method of
encapsulation has enabled the manufacturing of high quality electrical
components that are capable of withstanding wear and tear from use and exposure
to harsh conditions.
