Technical FAQ
Carbon nanotube questions.
Why use carbon nanotubes in battery electrodes?
High-aspect-ratio CNT can create conductive pathways and mechanical reinforcement through active material, supporting power, charging, and cycle-life goals.
How is a CNT dispersion different from dry powder?
A formulated dispersion addresses bundling, wetting, dosing, and integration so manufacturers can use CNT performance more consistently in their process. While mitigating the safety concerns of raw CNT.
Which battery chemistries does BDS support?
BDS develops Molecular Rebar formulations for lithium-ion and lead-acid applications, with testing and integration support matched to the customer system.
Can BDS supply commercial volumes?
Yes. BDS supports 10 L jugs, 208 L drums, and 1,200 L totes for development through commercial-scale production.
