Cabot Corporation Launches New LITX® 300 Conductive Additive for Lithium-Ion Battery Applications
New performance additive improves conductivity with enhanced flexibility that enables high performance and cycle life for lithium-ion batteries
The lithium battery market continues to grow as applications such as mobile and consumer electronics, electric vehicles and renewable energy storage drive increased demand for higher-performing batteries. The performance and cost requirements of lithium-ion batteries are steadily increasing, and battery manufacturers continue to seek advanced and cost-effective materials to deliver increased energy density and power delivery. While conductive additives are a relatively small component of the total battery, they can have a significant impact on battery performance. As such, manufacturers are increasingly looking for advances in performance additives to enable next generation lithium-ion batteries to power electro-mobility, high-end electronics and other technology trends.
“Our new LITX 300 product is a welcome addition to our existing
portfolio that includes LITX 50 and LITX 200 additives that are designed
for current applications and provide a balance of properties for the
battery cell makers,” said
“The LITX 300 additive is relatively easy to disperse and incorporate
into the lithium-ion battery manufacturing process,” noted
