Cabot Corporation launches LITX® MAX90 multifunctional conductive carbon black

Cabot recently released a breakthrough innovation, launching LITX® MAX90 multifunctional conductive carbon black specifically developed for sustainable batteries. This innovative product is expected to lead deep changes in the new energy industry and bring new possibilities to battery technology.

LITX® MAX90 conductive carbon black is a high-performance material specially designed for lithium battery dry electrodes. Compared with traditional wet electrode processes, it innovatively eliminates multiple processes such as pulping, coating, drying and solvent recovery, thereby simplifying the production process, reducing production costs, and being more environmentally friendly and sustainable. In addition, since the compaction density of the conductive carbon black in the dry-process electrode is greater, the battery can achieve higher energy density, which is in line with the development trend of the next generation of solid-state batteries.

This LITX® MAX90 conductive carbon black has significant advantages, including improved electrode processing performance, enhanced electrochemical properties and sustainable development. As a conductive carbon black with high specific surface area, it improves the processability and mechanical strength of electrode films. Secondly, it is specially designed for lithium ion battery cathode materials, which promotes the uniform distribution of binder and enables lithium ions to be rapidly transported in thicker positive electrodes, thereby improving the conductivity of the electrode and battery performance. The most important thing is that even at low addition amounts, this conductive agent can meet the needs of building a complete conductive network and achieve higher energy density.

Although dry electrode technology is not yet fully mature, Cabot's LITX® MAX90 multifunctional conductive carbon black provides broader prospects for its commercial application. This innovative product further simplifies the electrode manufacturing process, reduces energy consumption, and is expected to promote battery production to achieve more economical and efficient goals. The release of this technological innovation has injected new vitality into the field of new energy batteries and will make important contributions to the development of the sustainable battery industry.
