LIOACCUM ™, conductive carbon nanotubes (CNT) dispersions manufactured by artience group 's TOYOCOLOR have been adopted by Primearth EV Energy as a conductive additive for lithium-ion batteries.
The conductive CNT for lithium-ion battery cathode materials dispersions LIOACCUM ™ has been selected for use in Toyota's hybrid vehicles through PEVE. It is a key material that enables higher capacity and output of lithium-ion batteries. It uses a high-conductivity type CNT with less conductive additive than conventional carbon black.
Expanding Facilities to Strengthen Production Capacity
In conjunction with this adoption, TOYO COLOR will expand the facilities of the Fuji Plant, which is TOYOCOLOR 's dispersions production base, to strengthen its production capacity.
In addition, in anticipation of an increase in demand in the North American area due to the local production of Toyota's on-board batteries in North America, we will begin preparations for supply from LioChem, Inc., artience group 's North American manufacturing base.
TOYOCOLOR has strengths in carbon dispersion and has been supplying carbon dispersions for lithium-ion battery cathode materials since 2015 and has accumulated trust and achievements as a lithium-ion battery material manufacturer.
The cathode material of a lithium-ion battery is mainly composed of an active material, a conductive additive, and a binder. By using CNT instead of carbon black as the conductive additive, conductive performance can be achieved with a small amount of conductive additive.
TOYOCOLOR has dramatically increased the dispersibility and conductivity of CNT using proprietary additives and dispersions manufacturing methods and has succeeded in significantly reducing the resistance value of lithium-ion battery cathodes with less usage. This will reduce the cost of conductive additives for lithium-ion batteries and increase the capacity of batteries by increasing the amount of active material in the cathode, thereby extending the cruising range of HVs, PHVs, and EVs and improving the fast-charging performance.
