How Carbon Nanotubes Are Transforming EV Battery Performance
The global carbon nanotubes (CNT) market is on the verge of an unprecedented expansion, projected to grow from USD 1,166.2 million in 2025 to an astounding USD 2,812.1 billion by 2035. This surge reflects a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%, driven by advancements in nanotechnology and an increasing demand for CNTs across multiple industries, particularly in energy storage, electronics, and automotive sectors. With superior mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, CNTs are revolutionizing materials science and industrial applications. 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 : 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐍𝐓 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Carbon nanotubes in their pristine form are hydrophobic, tend to bundle together due to van der Waals forces, and are difficult to integrate into most solvent systems or polymer matrices. These limitations significantly reduce their utility in real-world industrial applications. Functionalization—either through covalen...
