GRAPHENE NANOTUBES
Human existence is shaped by the materials we use. More than 50% of allbasic materials can be improved by introducing a universal material: single wall
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

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) should be referred to asgraphene nanotubes (GNTs) because each nanotube is an extremely
thin rolled-up sheet of graphene. The superiority of graphene
nanotubes is due to their exceptional properties, such as superior
conductivity, high temperature resistance, strength and flexibility.

GRAPHENE NANOTUBESGRAPHENE NANOTUBESTUBALL™

HOW IT WORKS

While the huge potential of GNTs has been recognised for many
years, until recently their wide application in industry was notpossible because of an absence of technology for their mass
production, their high price, and a lack of methods for introducing
them into materials.

TUBALL™ provides significant improvements in material properties
upon the addition of ultralow loadings – starting from only 0.01%.

TUBALL™ nanotubes are the first GNTs to be available for commercial
applications in a wide range of industries. OCSiAl’s breakthrough yet low-costmass-production technology has made the widespread use of nanotubes
economically viable while still preserving their high quality.

FEATURES• Best price-to-performance ratio compared with similar products• Maintains color, elasticity, durability and other key properties• Versatile for an extremely wide range of applications• High-quality nanotubes (G/D ratio >90)
• Benefits start from ultralow concentrations• Adds uniform, permanent and stable electrical conductivity• Enhances mechanical properties of materials

GNTs

The same concentration of particles (~0.1%) in the same volume.
Unlike conventional additives such as multi wall carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers,
and most types of carbon black that unevenly disperse in a material’s matrix,
GNTs create a 3D uniform reinforced and conductive network.

TUBALL™ BATTTUBALL™ BATT is a ready-to-use dispersion designed to easily incorporate
TUBALL™ into electrode formulations during the battery manufacturing process.
TUBALL™ BATT provides a complete or partial substitute for carbon black inbattery electrodes and can replace several percent of carbon black with 0.02–0.1%
of TUBALL™.
TUBALL™ forms conductive 3D networks between active material particles atvery low concentrations. The nanotubes reinforce the electrode structure andimprove its mechanical stability during cycling. TUBALL™ improves adhesion by
establishing strong ties between the particles, reducing the amount of binder
required.

ANODESTUBALL™ graphene nanotubes cover the surface of thesilicon particles and create highly conductive and durable
connections between them. These connections are so
dense, long, conductive, and strong that even when thesilicon particles in the anode expand and the material starts
to crack, the particles stay well connected to each otherthrough the TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes. This prevents
the anode from going out of service—the hugely improved
cycle life is enough to meet even the most strict EV
manufacturer requirements.

Silicon-based anodes:

Drastically improved cycle life with small
addition of TUBALL™.

The more silicon in the anode, the more essential becomes the usage ofgraphene nanotubes in the design.
A higher content of silicon in the anode leads to higher anode volume expansion
during cycling, thus the more essential it becomes to have a robust long–
distance conductive network in the electrode keeping silicon anode particles
connected to each other, which TUBALL™ is able to create in an unparalleledmanner.

LOW DOSAGE EXAMPLE IN NCM

DCR IN NCM 811 EXAMPLE

Less than 0.1% TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes provides higher energy density. This
concentration is 10–60 times lower than that required when using multi-wall carbon
nanotubes or carbon black as a conductive material.

The fact that TUBALL™ bundles create highly conductive longdistance routes for electrons
between active material particles leads to the fact that even a small amount of TUBALL™
graphene nanotubes is enough to create well-developed conducive networks in theelectrode at an ultralow working dosage and thus reduce internal battery cell resistance(DCR).
The lower battery DCR results in lower temperature buildup and thus a reduced risk of abattery fire. This is a crucial safety benefit made possible by TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes.

THICK CATHODES
AND ANODESDRY ELECTRODE
COATING PROCESS

Robust TUBALL™ network makes it possible to create electrodes withrecord high electrode thickness by strengthening the bond between
active material particles.

Ensuring uniform long-distance electrical connections
between active material particles is of even greater
importance in emerging dry electrode coating tech, as
the average thickness of the electrodes is higher andthe distribution of conductive additives is nonuniform.

No cracks in the electrode with TUBALL™ even at very high electrodeloadings.

OCSiAl is the world’s largest manufacturer of graphene nanotubes, owning the only
scalable technology capable of synthesizing them in industrial volumes.
A graphene nanotube, also known as a single wall carbon
nanotube, is a rolled-up sheet of graphene possessing
exceptional properties, such as high electrical andthermal conductivity, strength, and flexibility. These
unique characteristics make graphene nanotubes a
versatile additive with potential applications across up
to 50% of global materials markets. When integrated intomaterials, they form a 3D reinforcing conductive network,
providing a new set of properties to the final product.
Advanced high-performance batteries, composites,
plastics, coatings, and other materials additionally enable
companies to contribute to reductions in CO₂ emissions
at all stages of manufacturing and during usage of new
products, stimulating global efforts to achieve carbon
neutrality.
OCSiAl produces high-purity graphene nanotubes
under the brand name TUBALL™ and accelerates thetransformation process of nanotubes from the laboratory
to being an industrial-scale material by simplifying
their handling. The company has developed TUBALL™formulated technologies for various applications.
TUBALL™ BATT, an ultrafine dispersion of graphene
nanotubes in liquid carriers, is a ready-to-use solution
designed for high-energy anodes and cathodes.
OCSiAl nanotubes create long, robust electrical
networks between active material particles, improving
key battery characteristics, including cycle life, DCR(reduced resistance), C-rate performance, and cohesion
between active battery material particles, making thebattery electrodes more durable. Graphene nanotubes
unlock new battery technologies, including high-siliconcontent anodes, thick LFP cathodes, fast-charging
graphite anodes, and more. They can be applied in88both conventional and emerging battery tech, such as a
dry battery electrode coating process, and in solid-statebatteries.
The TUBALL™ MATRIX nanotube concentrate productline is specifically designed for various elastomers,
thermosets, and thermoplastics. It is widely used as aconductive filler to impart anti-static and ESD properties.
Depending on the specific requirements, the working
dosage is in the range of 0.1–1 wt.% in the final compound.
TUBALL™ MATRIX is also increasingly being used as areinforcing additive in various types of materials, enabling
the production of lightweight, strong, smart, conductive,
and colored products.
The company’s technical support centers are located in
Luxembourg, China, and Serbia. They are designed to becapable of completing the full development chain: frominitial research to the fine-tuning of the application of
TUBALL™ in pilot industrial lines.
TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes are authorized for use
across a wide range of industries. They comply with
EU-REACH and US Environmental Protection Agency
regulations, allowing the commercialization of up to 100
tonnes of single wall carbon nanotubes annually in Europe
and an unlimited tonnage band in the US.
Headquartered in Luxembourg, OCSiAl is represented
throughout Europe, the US, South Korea, China, Hong
Kong, Canada, Mexico, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, India,
and Serbia. OCSiAl collaborates with more than 1,500
companies in over 50 countries worldwide and enjoys a
network of 20+ distributors.
