…upside. Can fluorinated polymers be substituted? We answer this question on page 7, including interesting data on the cracking of solar panel back-sheets. So how are fluorinated polymers produced? The…
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…
…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…
…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…
…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,…
…There is no modern wind, solar, batteries without carbon fiber, ethylene vinyl acetate, fluorinated polymers; and in turn, these are some of the most sophisticated and complex value chains in…
…in our global power grid capex model. In turn, these forecasts impact the demand for battery materials such as lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt and fluorinated polymers. Cathode chemistry has shifted…
…excited by advanced materials improving cell voltage and lowering degradation, including using fluorinated polymers. Our underlying calculations regarding electric vehicle battery life spans are available via the download button below….
