C-NERGY™ KS6L is a high-performance synthetic graphite active conductive additive designed for lithium-ion battery anodes. Its highly anisotropic graphite particles provide enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity, while its reversible capacity contribution helps improve electrode performance.
KS6L also supports better electrode processing through improved slurry thermal conductivity, binder distribution control, and compression behavior.
Key Features
-Battery Performance Benefits
Improved electrical conductivity: Provides enhanced conductivity at both room and low temperatures, reducing internal resistance and improving delivered capacity.
Active conductive additive with reversible capacity: Contributes additional reversible capacity with a typical value of 350 ± 5 mAh/g.
Enhanced thermal conductivity: Improves heat transfer within electrodes, supporting better cycle life and battery safety.
-Electrode Processing Benefits
Improved slurry thermal conductivity: Enables faster drying speed or potentially lower drying temperature during electrode processing.
Binder migration control: Highly anisotropic graphite particles help reduce binder migration and improve adhesion between electrode coating and current collector.
Improved compression performance: Good compressibility allows either reduced compression force for the same electrode thickness or higher electrode density with a wider compression process window.
