Comparison of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and carbon black as percolative paths in aqueous-based natural graphite negative electrodes with high-rate capability for lithium-ion batteries

Recent advances in electrospun carbon nanofibers and their application in electrochemical energy storage

“…One dimensional (1D) carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have several advantages over other forms of carbon allotropes. Firstly, the high aspect ratio of over a few hundreds enables the formation of conductive network at an extremely low percolation [12][13].…”

Water‐Soluble Conductive Composite Binder Containing PEDOT:PSS as Conduction Promoting Agent for Si Anode of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

“…[18][19][20][21][22][23][24] However, we noted that the conducting agents, which used with these water-soluble binders for not only anode materials (e.g. Si, graphite and lithium titanate) but also various cathode materials, are still the conventional carbonaceous materials such as acetylene black (AB), [25] carbon black, [26] graphite powder, [27] graphene [2 , 8] carbon nanotubes [29][30][31] and nanofibers. [32] These conducting materials act to form conducting bridges between the active material particles.…”

Optimizing the surfactant for the aqueous processing of LiFePO4 composite electrodes

“…Transition to an aqueous route, a more environmental friendly process, would reduce the costs associated with the making of the composite electrode, but new binder systems soluble in water and compatible with the requirements of a positive electrode of lithium-ion battery have to be found [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In this work we pursue two goals.…”
