Solid-state batteries are supposed to be the future of energy. The problem is that “solid meets solid” doesn’t conduct particularly well.

When two solid materials come into contact inside a cell, electrons struggle to pass through—and that’s where the bottleneck holding back the entire technology begins.

The solution doesn’t have to be a new material—it can be a network, thousands of times thinner than a strand of hair, woven through that contact point to “patch” it. TUBALL™ nanotubes do exactly that: They maintain conductivity where the material is most fragile and prevent microcracks before they even form.

A small change at the nanoscale. A major step forward for safer, longer-lasting batteries.

⚡ [R&D] What can even just 0.12 wt.% TUBALL™ do for MXene fibers?
This ultralow dosage boosts tensile strength by 480%, ductility by 300%, and toughness by 1,620% while retaining conductivity above 10,400 S cm⁻¹, according to research from Nankai University and Zhengzhou University. Such a powerful combination of mechanical performance and high conductivity opens new opportunities for wearable fiber-shaped electronics, structural composites, and energy storage devices.

⚡ [R&D] Can a thin TUBALL™ nanotube coating unlock ultrafast charging?

Researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology have developed an ultrasonic spray coating process to create a tailored TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotube layer on LiCoO₂ cathodes. 🧪 Compared to bare LCO, the optimized SWCNT coating nearly doubled the capacity at 10C and retained 80.9% of its capacity after 500 cycles at 10C, versus just 38.9% for uncoated LCO, highlighting how an ultrathin conductive network can enable ultrafast and ultra-stable lithium-ion batteries. 🔋

What if the biggest battery safety upgrade wasn’t a new battery chemistry?

It could be replacing the conductive additive.

Compared with multi wall carbon nanotubes, TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes slow the growth of DC resistance throughout a battery’s life, keeping electrons moving more efficiently for longer.

The result?
⚡ Lower DCR increase
🔋 Higher energy efficiency
🔥 Reduced risk of battery overheating and fires

Sometimes, the smallest material makes the biggest difference.
