Conductive additives
What is conductive additives?
In lithium-ion battery electrodes, carbon materials are incorporated as conductive additives to ensure reliable electrical conductivity. 3DC has discovered that integrating our uniquely engineered GMS, with its distinctive structure and exceptional performance, into lithium-ion batteries offers several advantages.
Functions of GMS conductive additives
Ion transport pass
Unique hollow structure allows lithium ion to move smoothly and quickly even in a condensed electrode.
High voltage durability
GMS has fewer functional groups, then is stable at higher than common voltage such as 4.4V.
Swelling absorption
Unique flexible property allows GMS to absorb swelling effect of other battery material such as active material.
Examples of the benefits of GMS
25%+ increase in capacity
The use of a conductive additive with excellent high-voltage resistance makes it possible to use the battery at voltages exceeding 4.4V.
20%+ improvement in charge/discharge performance
The high-order structure and liquid retention properties reduce electronic and ionic resistance, improving charge/discharge performance.
30%+ increase in cycle life
Achieving a significant reduction in expansion and contraction by utilizing a unique mechanically flexible property, resulting in a significant improvement in cycle life.
