The world’s first
Non-purification process
-
Transition metal catalysts such as Fe, Co, Ni and Mo are not used in the Prione Process
-
No more intellectual property right necessary
for the catalyst purification
-
A high temperature reactor using halogen gas
is not required for catalyst purification
for non-purification process -
Environmental cost is not incurred as high
concentration of acid treatment is not required.
-
No chemical and structural damage in the synthesized CNT as no purification is performed.
The world’s first
Zero ppm of catalyst impurity
-
Contents of impurity from the catalyst is 0 ppm
as the transition metal catalyst -
The special catalyst of the Prione can be
removed to 0 ppm during the process -
When used as a conductive material for a battery, the Prione special catalyst greatly contributes to the improvement of battery performance
Under 600°C
Low Temperature Process
-
The advantage of the low temperature process is
the low cost as it consumes low power -
It is possible to produce uniform quality as the temperature gradient difference of the reaction zone is not large.
-
When doping hetero atom such as nitrogen, the low temperature process would make it possible to prepare a high functional CNT by increasing the doping amount larger than the high temperature process.
Low-Cost Eco-Friendly Process
-
The Prione catalyst is very affordable with a precursor price of 1/20 (based on Sigma Aldrich) compared to Ferrocene, a general CNT catalyst.
-
There is no need for additional expensive chemicals such as Thiophene used in the existing CNT process, and only the Prione catalysts and carbon precursors are required.
-
Also, very low-cost carbon precursors are used to significantly reduce overall production costs while consuming less production power as the reaction temperature is also much lower than general CNT synthesis temperature.
-
No purification cost is incurred as the purification process is left out, and thus environmental cost is not incurred as well.
