SiAT (Sino Applied Technology) announces a strategic partnership with Taiwan C.S. Aluminum Corporation (CSAC). SiAT is a manufacturer of advanced nanomaterials for batteries in Taiwan.
The collaboration marks the introduction of carbon nanotube coated aluminum foil. It is designed to meet the growing demand for faster charging and extended lifespan in lithium-ion batteries, sodium batteries, and supercapacitors.
Boosts Battery Performance & Lifespan
The new product leverages carbon nanotubes (CNTs), known for their conductivity. It is ten times greater than that of carbon black as the carbon coating. This CNT coating protects the aluminum foil from corrosion. It also strengthens the bond between the electrode materials and the current collector. This results in a longer battery lifespan.
Additionally, the CNT coating reduces interface contact resistance. This enhances discharge rates and overall battery performance.
SiAT has extensive experience and production capacity in the application of CNT nanomaterial dispersion. With well-dispersed nano conductive graphite and CNT-coated particles, SiAT ensures a uniform and precise coating on the aluminum foil. This optimizes the surface treatment of battery conductive substrates.
CSAC is one of the few manufacturers capable of developing and producing aluminum foil for batteries from aluminum ingot alloys to the final product.
Through this partnership, SiAT now offers high-quality, high-strength CNT-coated aluminum foil. Additionally, SiAT can provide customization options in foil thickness, coating patterns, and alloy content to meet specific customer requirements.
SiAT's commitment to innovation in battery technology is further demonstrated by the launch of CNT-coated aluminum foil.
