  AquaCNT™ Conductive Nanotube Paste is a water-based, low-resistance conductive formulation engineered to deliver stable electrical performance and uniform dispersion across a variety of substrates. The paste contains finely dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotubes that form an interconnected conductive network, enabling efficient charge transport even at relatively low loading levels.

  Its aqueous formulation supports environmentally responsible processing while offering excellent compatibility with flexible and rigid substrates such as PET, polyimide, and glass. Optimized rheological properties allow smooth coating and printing behavior, making this paste suitable for scalable manufacturing methods as well as laboratory-scale electrode preparation. The balanced combination of conductivity, processability, and substrate adhesion makes it a reliable solution for advanced electronic and energy-related applications.

  Applications

  Lithium-Ion Battery Electrodes and Energy Storage

  AquaCNT™ paste is widely used as a conductive additive in lithium-ion battery electrode formulations. It integrates effectively with cathode and anode active materials—including LFP, LCO, NCM, LMN, and graphite—by establishing a continuous conductive pathway within the electrode layer. This results in improved electrical connectivity, reduced internal resistance, enhanced rate capability, and extended cycle stability, which are critical for EV batteries, stationary energy storage systems, and high-power cells.

  Flexible Electronics and Wearable Devices

  Thanks to its compatibility with flexible substrates and water-based chemistry, the paste is well suited for conductive layers in bendable circuits, wearable sensors, and flexible electronic components. Its controlled viscosity supports printing and coating processes without compromising pattern fidelity.

  Sensor and Detection Systems

  The high surface area and intrinsic conductivity of carbon nanotubes enable the paste to function effectively as an electrode or conductive interlayer in chemical, biological, and physical sensors. These characteristics contribute to improved signal resolution and sensitivity.

  Conductive Coatings and EMI Shielding

  AquaCNT™ can be applied as a conductive coating on polymer, plastic, and glass surfaces. Its low sheet resistance makes it suitable for antistatic layers and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in electronic housings and functional coatings.

  Printed Electronics and Microfabrication

  Compatible with screen printing, inkjet printing, and roll-to-roll processing, the paste supports the fabrication of conductive tracks and microelectronic features. The absence of organic solvents contributes to safer handling and more sustainable manufacturing workflows.
