Cabot develops and manufactures critical lithium-ion battery components, including conductive carbon additives (conductive carbons, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanostructures) to enhance conductivity and charging efficiency. Its ENTERA™ aerogel particles provide advanced thermal management for electric vehicle batteries. A Battery Application Technology Center in Europe focuses on materials for high-nickel cathodes, silicon-containing anodes and solid-state batteries.
Conductive carbon additives (CCAs) including conductive carbons, carbon nanotubes and carbon nanostructures; ENTERA™ aerogel particles for battery thermal management; MAJESTIC 710 specialty carbon black for water-based systems.
In 2024, secured a $50 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy to build a facility producing 1,000 tonnes/year of battery-grade carbon nanotubes and 12,000 tonnes/year of conductive additive dispersions to strengthen domestic supply chains. Launched MAJESTIC 710 and advanced toward 2025 sustainability goals, including net-zero emissions by 2050.
