Title:
BINDERS, ELECTROLYTES AND SEPARATOR FILMS FOR ENERGY STORAGE AND COLLECTION DEVICES USING DISCRETE CARBON NANOTUBES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/192513
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In various embodiments an improved binder composition, electrolyte composition and a separator film composition using discrete carbon nanotubes. Their methods of production and utility for energy storage and collection devices, like batteries, capacitors and photovoltaics, is described. The binder, electrolyte, or separator composition can further comprise polymers. The discrete carbon nanotubes further comprise at least a portion of the tubes being open ended and/or functionalized. The utility of the binder, electrolyte or separator film composition includes improved capacity, power or durability in energy storage and collection devices. The utility of the electrolyte and or separator film compositions includes improved ion transport in energy storage and collection devices.
