Novel materials for electrochemical power sources—introduction of PUREBLACK® Carbons

Modeling of Membrane-Electrode-Assembly Degradation in Proton-Exchange-Membrane Fuel Cells – Local H2 Starvation and Start–Stop Induced Carbon-Support Corrosion

Functionalized Carbon Nanoparticles, Blacks and Soots as Electron‐Transfer Building Blocks and Conduits

“…[104] However, in a recent report comparing the electrochemical characteristics of nonfunctionalized carbon nanoparticles with those of bamboo-type carbon nanotubes, the latter were shown to be more effective. [105] In fuel cell catalysis, [106] Vulcan carbon blacks have been important in the development of platinum-supported electrocatalysts. A common preparation for such catalysts is through the incipient wetness impregnation method.…”

Lithium-ion batteries based on carbon–silicon–graphite composite anodes

“…It seems that applying a high compaction pressure during the calendaring of the expanded graphite between the rolls dimin- ishes the electrode porosity and therefore the electrolyte content in the bulk of the electrode. The carbon black and a new form of conductive additive on the battery market, known as PUREBLACK ® Carbon (commercial product of Superior Graphite Co., USA [48]) were seen to be good at complementing performance of expanded graphite in the cathodes. These materials are good at adsorbing electrolyte and were seen to improve the mobility of Li + within the electrode.…”

“…[44,48]. The PUREBLACK ® Carbon, being an ultra pure partially graphitized carbon black with properties exceeding those of battery grade acetylene blacks have higher conductivity than carbon black and feature higher packing density.…”
