Surging CNT Capacity Enables Applications Beyond Li-ion Batteries

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are gaining significant traction as a conductive additive at the cathode of lithium-ion batteries (LiB), a market driven in turn by the electrification of vehicles. This success has seen an explosion in the global production capacity of CNTs, with players racing to establish themselves as a leading supplier to the energy sector. However, the potential application areas for CNTs extend far beyond batteries. In this article, IDTechEx assesses the effects of increasing capacity and how this surge in supply will open opportunities for CNTs beyond the LiB market.

Accelsius Technology is a US-based startup specializing in two-phase direct-to-chip cooling. IDTechEx interviewed the company and analyzed its technologies and business outlook.

Automotive Radar Market Shares

The automotive radar market is largely dominated by three key tier one suppliers, but IDTechEx has found that their combined share has fallen in the past couple of years as others have become more active in the radar and ADAS space. This premium article looks at the market share of leading tier one radar suppliers in terms of revenue and volume, and split by forward facing and side facing radar applications. It also looks at tier one/OEM supply relations and identifies which are the most popular radars in use in the US and Europe.
