The Reinforcing Effect of Combined Carbon Nanotubes and Acetylene Blacks on the Positive Electrode of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract

Carbon—the new black: The advantages of using carbon nanotubes together with acetylene blacks as cathode fillers include not only enhancement of the electrical and the thermal properties of the electrode but also enhancement of the density of the electrode and a decrease in the electrolyte absorption time. The use of carbon nanotubes as multifunctional fillers in both cathode and anode materials for lithium-ion secondary batteries may increase.
