This data-file is a screen of fluorinated polymers company screen, to explore opportunities in this value chain. It captures ten large Western companies, with exposure to producing fluorspar, refining fluorspar…
Fluorinated polymers are a ‘stealth bottleneck’ for the energy transition: used in solar back-sheets, battery binders/separators, wind blades, and across the hydrogen chain. But low down the bill of materials,…
…pumps. But the main pull on the fluorinated chemicals chain is going to be coming from batteries and solar, as explored in our recent fluorinated polymers research. Leading Western companies…
…a leading producer of battery binders, which are fluorinated polymers, mainly PVDF, that physically bind the metal particles together in a battery cathode and the graphite particles together in a…
…of a fluorinated polymer (PTFE) backbone, off of which branch ether groups, connecting to further fluorinated polymers, ultimately terminating in sulfonate groups (SO3H). The sulfonate groups are strongly polar, exhibiting…
…mixed with a conductive carbon additive, most often carbon black, but also potentially graphite or carbon nanotubes, which will typically form 5% of the cathode. (6) A fluorinated polymer binder,…
…It is used to make fluorinated polymers, as feature in solar, batteries, wind and power cables. It is used to make cryolite, for aluminium refining, as is necessary for long-distance…
…fluorinated polymers and battery-grade nickel; then graphite and copper. We are less worried about cobalt. Our best data-file into materials used in a lithium ion battery, and their costs, is…
