Development of Highly Conductive Carbon Nanofiber with World’s First Elliptical Cross-Section of Graphite Layer for use in Li-ion Batteries of electric Vehicles
New era of Electric Vehicles can foresee some new comers into this industry all due change in expertise required to put the EV vehicle together. One of the main attraction to make the whole electric vehicle things work is the their main battery component which up to now has been dominated by Lithium-ion batteries unless someone come up with better and more stable alternatives with low-cost manufacturing process, not to forget the safety standard a must in Automobile industry. One such new comer with long history of innovation not necessary in automobile industry is Teijin who announced the co-development of a highly conductive carbon nanofiber (CNF) with world’s first elliptical cross-section of graphite layers ordered in single direction with Tokyo Institute of Technology. The newly developed CNF features a length of 20 micrometers which is 10 fold of conventional CNF and a diameter of maximum 100 to 300 nanometers and a minimum 50 to 100 nanometers. Read more
