High power battery applications face the challenge of temperature cut-off at high discharge rates, e.g. power tools. Battery cells designed for these applications need good electrical and ionic conductivity while providing a good thermal behavior. To address these challenges cell designers require a very-well defined carbon and pore network in the electrodes. While classic carbon additives build a well-defined carbon percolation, it is Porocarb® which in addition enhances the porosity and improves the thermal behavior. Working in synergy Porocarb® together with classic carbon additives provide porosity and an carbon excellent electric conductive network to bring your power cells to the next level.
