Applications

Carbon black is dispersed into cathode and anode slurries to create a conductive network that lowers internal resistance.

Small additions of carbon black to the negative plate paste (expander) improve charge acceptance and extend cycle life.

Conductive carbon black blends with activated carbon to improve charge/discharge rate performance in supercapacitor electrodes.

Conductive carbon black grades are compounded into casing plastics to provide antistatic or EMI-shielding properties.

Carbon black is blended with manganese dioxide in the cathode mix of alkaline batteries to maintain conductivity throughout discharge.
