At present, there are four companies in the world that can carry out mass production of whisker carbon nanotubes, which are Japan SHOWA SENKO, Taiwan rijiang, US Applied Sciences and our company respectively. Among them, Japan has the largest production of SHOWA SENKO, up to about 500 tons. The technology and equipment of whisker carbon nanotubes developed by our company are at the same level as SHOWA SENKO. Only KELAIWEI company can produce mass production in China, and its technology belongs to international advanced, which is the mainstay in China.
Henan KELAIWEI Nano Carbon Material Co., Ltd. has been insisting on technology since its establishment. After more than 20 years of technological development, our company has become a high-end manufacturing technology enterprise in the carbon nanotube material industry. With the continuous increase of the market demand for carbon nanotube materials, in order to meet the market demand, the supply of high-quality KELAIWEI nanomaterials products, KELAIWEI company has invested in the construction of the whisker carbon nanotube powder project whose output value reaches 300 tons per year.
After more than 20 years of rapid development, Henan KELAIWEI Nano Carbon Material Co., Ltd. recently relies on the company's capital investment of 0.45 billion yuan to build several production lines in the 13000-square-meter Dengfeng plant area and related production technology, manufacturing equipment, technology patents and so on are researched and developed independently by our company, owning related patents our products are sold to overseas and domestic provinces, and the cooperative clients highly recognize the products of KELAIWEI company, carbon nanomaterials water treatment.
With the resumption of production and resumption of work in all walks of life in our country after March, if the 2020 international heat conduction and heat dissipation materials and equipment exhibition held in Shenzhen city, Guangdong province is held as scheduled, our company will send product technicians to actively participate in it, we will launch new products of our company at that time. We sincerely look forward to meeting, talking, meeting and intersecting with you in the KELAIWEI exhibition area of Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center on August 27th, 2020.
Carbon nanotubes are nanomaterials, but they are not carbon nanofibers. Carbon nanofibers are nanomaterials. Carbon nanotubes have nearly perfect hexagonal structure connection, and their lifting weight is very, very light, but their mechanical properties, chemical properties and electrical properties are extremely rich, so they need further research and application development. Carbon nanotube materials are increasingly widely used in the field of modern high-end industrial product manufacturing.
Fundamentally speaking, are there any essential differences between common carbon nanomaterials and graphene? Graphene is a thin film material. The thickness of graphene is only one carbon atom. The mechanism of graphene is fundamentally different from that of common carbon nanomaterials. Graphene, fullerene nanomaterials, carbon nanotube nanomaterials and so on, these carbon nanomaterials are different in structure and form, it can be said that the physical properties of graphene and carbon nanomaterials are still different.
Acetylene black is a particle conductive agent, which needs more additive amount when forming the conductive network. The larger the additive amount is, the lower the proportion of active material will be, and the energy density of the battery will be reduced. The whisker carbon nanotubes have nanofibers with linear structure, the net conductive structure can be rapidly formed in the electrode with extremely low additive amount, and it has excellent conductive efficiency. When the battery is multiplied or circulated, it can maintain better performance, and carbon nanomaterials can be used for water treatment.
