[R&D] Same battery recycling process. Two types of nanotubes. Strikingly different results.
Researchers from BOKU University, Stat Peel, and OCSiAl measured airborne nanotube concentrations during laboratory-scale battery recycling.
TUBALL™ SWCNTs: 0.097–0.875 µg/m³—below the recommended exposure limit in both tests.
MWCNTs: 1.21–1.37 µg/m³—above the limit in both tests.
The difference matters as battery recycling expands and the industry focuses on safer, more sustainable processes.

Henry Ford’s wife, Clara, drove a Detroit Electric back in 1914. 🔋
More than a century later, we’re here at The Battery Show North America 2026 in Detroit, working on what comes next for EV batteries.
The materials have changed considerably, and even a small amount of an advanced additive can make a big difference.
We’re showcasing how TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes help battery manufacturers improve conductivity, reduce swelling, and enhance electrode flexibility and processing.

[💡R&D] Silicon anodes that maintain their performance after 1,000 cycles. 🔋
Researchers from Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) have developed a special core–shell silicon structure using TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes. The design helps the anode withstand silicon expansion while keeping electricity flowing as the battery charges and discharges.
This allowed the researchers to blend 20 wt.% of their Si-based composite with graphite—well above the ~5% typical industrial level cited in the study. In pouch cells, the technology delivered 275 Wh/kg and retained 75% capacity after 1,000 cycles.

Q4 has begun—and we’re hitting the road! 🚀🌍
This October and November, OCSiAl is heading to The Battery Show North America in Detroit, Plastimagen in Mexico City, and the Batteries Event in Lyon.
From next-generation batteries to advanced polymers, we’ll be there to show how a tiny amount of TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes can make a big difference in material performance.
Big ideas, real-world solutions—and plenty to discover.

See you there!

Conductivity in rubber shouldn’t come with compromises.
From automotive and oil & gas to chemical processing, rubber components operating in harsh environments need reliable anti-static performance while remaining strong, elastic, and durable. These properties don’t have to compete.
With just 0.3 wt.% TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes, rubber can achieve stable electrical resistivity while gaining up to 103% higher tear strength and 36% higher tensile strength—with elasticity and hardness preserved.

Greetings from the OCSiAl team at the Belgrade Business Run!

More than 60 of our colleagues hit the track last Thursday—not to win the race, but to spend an afternoon together.

It was a chance to get active, have fun, and enjoy time with the people we work with. As our team continues to grow, so does the team spirit that brings us together.

We’re here for one another—to give each other a push when things get tough and to challenge our own limits together. Because that’s what being a team is all about!

✈️ How much further can electric aviation go with higher-performance batteries? That’s the ambition behind the Horizon Europe project ELEVATE, targeting aviation-grade battery cells exceeding 400 Wh/kg. 🔋

OCSiAl is bringing a critical enabling material to this challenge. Our single wall carbon nanotubes form conductive reinforcing networks within silicon-rich anodes and dry-coated electrodes, helping overcome key limitations in conductivity, mechanical integrity, and cycle life that stand in the way of higher-performance cells.

We’re excited to get started with such a strong team behind the project: UniverCell, Daikin Chemical Europe GmbH, Technische Universität Braunschweig, EuRA, Uppsala University, CIDETEC, Addionics, VÆRIDION, IKA, LEONHARD KURZ.

Let’s make it happen! ✈️
