GMS for Lithium-ion battery

Applications as a conductive additive

Conductive additives must be added to the electrodes of lithium-ion batteries in order to meet performance requirements. 3DC’s GMS for conductive additives employs an original structure to form high-conductivity paths efficiently. GMS offers degradation resistance and high performance not found in conventional carbon black and carbon nanotube conductive additives, enabling us to realize conductive additives unlike any before.

Applications as silicon composite anode materials

Research into silicon-based anode materials is being conducted to achieve further gains in lithium-ion battery capacities. However, silicon-based materials are plagued by major volume changes when charging and discharging, which leads to rapid degradation. GMS is the only carbon material that exhibits rubber-like elasticity. When combined with silicon-based materials, GMS enables the volume changes of those materials to be absorbed, preventing active materials from degrading. As a result, high-capacity, degradation-resistant batteries can now be realized.
