Carbon Nanotubes Enable Next-Gen Aviation Batteries
OCSiAl’s single wall carbon nanotubes are at the core of a new generation of battery technologies expected to power commercial electric flights. The company is contributing to the Horizon Europe project ELEVATE, which brings together leading battery and aviation innovators to develop aviation-grade battery cells exceeding 400 Wh/kg. This initiative aims to accelerate the transition to electric aviation and may have a broader impact on the development of safer, lighter, and more energy-dense batteries across multiple industries, as reported by Batteries News.
