Every year our electronic devices get smaller, faster, and more powerful. But the materials we use today, like silicon, are reaching their limits. That’s why carbon nanotubes are so exciting. These tiny tubes made of carbon atoms could change how our everyday devices work. We’re talking about phones, laptops, tablets, and medical devices. In this […]
Silicon-based negative electrodes provide high capacity and fast charging capabilities for lithium-ion batteries. So, these batteries are ideal for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, they still face limitations such as poor conductivity and significant volume expansion. Moreover, their life cycle is shorter, which is another drawback. The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are the […]
Introduction: From April 15 to 18, the world’s leading international rubber and plastics exhibition (Chinaplas 2025) was held at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Bao’an)! As a leading company in producing carbon nanotubes, Shanghai Dazhan Times Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. brought its innovative achievements to explore the infinite possibilities of material technology with global […]
Carbon is one of nature’s most versatile building blocks. Strong, lightweight, and incredibly adaptable, carbon-based materials power countless products we use daily. From tires to touchscreens, carbon helps build our modern world. The traditional carbon black that industries have relied on for decades. The new-gen carbon nanotubes that reinvent what’s possible in material science. Although […]
Graphene and carbon nanotubes are unique carbon-only structures. Graphene is an extremely thin, flat material, like a tiny sheet of paper. It’s an excellent conductor of electricity, so electricity travels through it fast. Carbon nanotubes are little tube-shaped structures built out of carbon. They’re light as a feather but far stronger than steel. These materials help enhance […]
Development in science and technology was made possible by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). They can conduct heat and electricity and offer resistance. They also might not be able to bear a load or conduct electricity. If they are to accomplish anything good, they must be arranged. Unordered CNTs have low efficiency when compared to ordered CNTs. […]
As the new energy vehicle and energy storage markets mature, the performance requirements for lithium-ion batteries are gradually increasing. This drives lithium-ion battery technology to upgrade to high energy density and safety. Conductive agents are the components of lithium batteries, and upgrading lithium batteries also requires higher performance of conductive agents. Carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional […]
Carbon-based materials have transformed the world with their incredible properties. Carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes are the most widely used among those materials. Each of them has unique properties, strengths, and weaknesses. Although both share the same origin, what sets them apart, and which is truly superior? This is the burning question when choosing between […]
Have you ever wondered about tiny materials that measure in the billionths of a meter? How are these materials so small yet strong enough to potentially build an elevator to space? Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are exactly that kind of remarkable material. These microscopic tubes of carbon atoms are one of the most significant discoveries […]
Single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes have some similarities and key differences. SWCNTs are made of sp2 hybridized carbon, like fullerenes. They form cylindrical tubes with carbon rings. MWCNTs are similar but have many tubes inside one another. These tubes can stack in 6 to 25 layers. SWCNTs are small, with diameters of 0.7–2.0 nm. MWCNTs […]
