Conductive additive
A conductive additive is a conductive component added to reinforce electron transport paths within an electrode.
Other learning contexts (6)
In context
Carbon black or carbon nanotubes may be used. The required amount and dispersion depend on the active material's conductivity.
Example
Increasing the amount can improve conductivity, but reduces the fraction of active material responsible for storage and also changes processability.
Key distinction
Do not determine conductive additive content using the sole criterion that more is better.
