US company SouthWest Nanotechnologies launches new energy efficient product
27th August 2009
Southwest Nanotechnologies, a developer and manufacturer of single-wall carbon nanotubes and specialty multiwall nanotubes, has unveiled its latest grade of technology.
SWeNT CEO Dave Arthur said, ‘Lots of great work has been done on SWCNT-based conductive coatings in laboratories around the world, opening the doors for new solutions in a range of applications. However, most of this work has been done using SWCNT from non-scalable synthesis processes, and employing low-yield, expensive, secondary purification and separation methods, thereby making them impractical for commercial use. SWeNT CG 200 uses our scalable CoMoCAT® synthesis process, making possible the supply of commercial quantities with the consistency, purity and quality needed for many conductive coating and printing applications.’
The new technology can be used in photovoltaic devices and batteries to increase their efficiency.
