Today is an exciting time in the energy markets as many people are looking for new technologies to produce clean, efficient energy sources. The unique properties of carbon nanotubes demonstrate great promise in enabling the next generation of energy sources today in applications ranging from batteries and fuel cells to wind turbines and solar cells
Battery, Super-Capacitor and Fuel Cell Electrodes
Energy storage is a crucial area of research and development in the new energy markets. Whether your development target is a battery, a super-capacitor or a fuel cell, carbon nanotubes will enable a new level of electrode conductivity. This improvement in electrode conductivity is crucial for both anodes and cathodes. For example, the high electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes, with unusual high aspect ratios, superior tensile strength and thermal conductivity, can enable a new level of electric connections within the new generation Li-ion battery, which will power fast and run longer.
Carbon Nanotube Benefits:
Improve power and energy density
Extend battery cycle life time
Enhance safety
Wind Turbine Blades
Wind energy holds major potential as a “green energy” source. The high impact strength and tubular structure of carbon nanotubes enable strong, lightweight components to maximize the lifetime and efficiency of a new generation of wind turbines.
Carbon Nanotube Benefits:
Better energy conversion
Large blades, resulting higher energy generation
Longer blade life time
Solar Cell Coatings
Solar energy is viewed by many as a key “green energy” source for the near future. The latest focus is to improve efficiency and reduce the cost in thin film solar cells. Carbon nanotube show great promise as a transparent conductor in the thin film structure. The unique combination of the carbon nanotube properties may allow for a significant efficiency improvement with a simpler construction in future generations of solar cells.
