More than 70% of all basic materials can be improved by introducing a universal additive – single wall Diameter carbon nanotubes. These tiny tubes provide us with a rare opportunity to create nanoaugmented materials that have extraordinary properties. 1.6±0.4 nm Length >5 μm Amount in 1 g 1017 nanotubes Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can also be called graphene nanotubes as they are essentially an extremely thin rolled up sheet of graphene. The prе-eminence of these nanotubes is related to their exceptional properties, such as superior conductivity, high temperature resistance, ultra-low weight, record strength and high flexibility. 6 7 SINGLE WALL CARBON NANOTUBES SINGLE WALL CARBON NANOTUBES TUBALL™ HOW IT WORKS While the huge potential of SWCNTs has been recognised for many TUBALL™ provides significant improvements in material properties years, until recently their wide application in industry was not possible upon the addition of ultra-low loadings – starting from only 0.01%. because of the absence of technology for their mass production, their high price and the lack of methods for introducing them into materials. TUBALL™ nanotubes are the first SWCNTs to be available for commercial applications in a wide range of industries. OCSiAl’s breakthrough yet low-cost mass-production technology has made the widespread use of nanotubes economically viable while still preserving their high quality. FEATURES • High quality of SWCNT (G/D ratio >90); Microparticles Nanofibers SWCNTs • Best price-to-performance ratio compared with analogues; • Gains traction starting from extremely low concentrations; • Adds uniform electrical conductivity; Unlike conventional additives such as multi wall carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers • Enhances mechanical properties of materials; and most types of carbon black that unequally disperse in material’s matrix, • Maintains colour, elasticity and other key properties; SWCNTs create a 3D uniform reinforced and conductive network.* • Versatile for an extremely wide range of applications. The same concentration of particles (~0.1%) in the same volume. * Ma, P. C., Siddiqui, N. A., Marom, G., & Kim, J. K. (2010).

TUBALL™ BATT provides a complete or partial substitute for carbon black in battery electrodes and can replace several percent of carbon black with 0.03–0.1% of TUBALL™. TUBALL™ forms conductive 3D networks between active material particles at very low concentrations. The nanotubes reinforce the electrode structure and improve its mechanical stability during cycling. TUBALL™ improves adhesion by establishing strong ties between the particles, reducing the amount of binder required. 16 17 PRODUCTS FOR ENERGY STORAGE PRODUCTS FOR ENERGY STORAGE GREAT CHALLENGE: E-NABLE ENERGY BEST TECHNOLOGY WINS In order for electric vehicles to have а range and cost that is competitive with cars powered by internal combustion engines, the energy density of LIBs needs to be dramatically improved. The 2020 energy density goal, which is shared by the majority of LIB manufacturers, is 300 Wh/kg. This is a major technological challenge, and solving it will require the most advanced materials and technologies to 300 be implemented in the design of LIBs.
