Lithium secondary battery
The ratio of silicon included
in the active material: about 3~5%
Carbon-silicon material:
conductive material (+active material)
General ratio
Active material : Conductive material : Binder = 80 : 10 : 10
It acts as a basic conductive material and increases capacity even with the existing ratio
Special ratio
Active material : Conductive material : Binder = ex) (60~80) : (10~30) : 10
Basic conductive material role + Active material role is possible, so stable cycling performance
and increase in reversible capacity based on the change in contents of conductive material

Manufacturing technology of low-cost carbon
nano tubes (CNT) using alkali metals
Existing CNT manufacturing technology
01 Organometallic compounds such as Fe, Ni, Co, etc. are used as catalyst metals
It costs a lot because of their limited reserves
( $14.000/ton for Ni)
02 Need a process to treat acid with an aqueous acid solution such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid
Work stability problems, pollutant treatment problems and high cost problems are incurred
Developed CNT manufacturing technology
01 Alkali metals that dissolve in water (Na, K, etc) are used as catalyst metals
Price is affordable and it can be extracted infinitely from seawater
($150/ton based on Na)
02 Cost Down for the unnecessary process such as acid treatment process
“Highly Value Added” CNT can be synthesized
Targeted Technology
(Technical Feature)
An aqueous sodium chloride solution in the solution is applied to form nanoparticles and sprayed into a high-temperature heat treatment reactor to grow into a continuous MWCNT Stable for explosion and fire because there is no transition metal
Innovative processes that overcome the high-cost manufacturing process of removing and disposing expensive reducing agents and supporter, which is the key drawback of the current fluidized bed reaction method, currently a major mass production method. Excellent performance with low damage to the product
