Nawa Technologies has been showing how versatile its carbon nanotube technology is for reducing carbon emissions
As well as cutting weight, the plan is to use the electrical conductivity of the material to turn casings into an integral heating element, helping to reduce the complexity of battery thermal management systems.
Nanotubes are known as vertical aligned carbon nanotubes, or VACNT for short. They are grown on a thin underlying layer , reach a height of between five and 100 microns and resemble a molecular-scale forest of around 100 billion tubes per square centimetre. In practice, the nanotube layer is a thin film that can be handled in the same way as carbonfibre mat during manufacturing of components. Because it’s so thin, its weight is insignificant but it reduces the amount of carbonfibre and resin needed while also increasing the strength.
The aim is to use that property to help manage battery temperature and potentially improve the range of EVs.
