Power up your lab with our top battery components

Anodes are traditionally composed of natural or synthetic graphite, but researchers are investigating other carbon allotropes (carbon black, fullerenes) and non-carbon materials (lithium foil, oxides of bismuth, germanium, silicon, and tin) that might have better electrochemistry.

Cathode materials typically include oxides of transition metals that can accommodate lithium by changing their oxidation states. We also offer many sodium-based and other salts for research into non-lithium technologies.

Conventional electrolytes consist of an organic solvent (such as ethylene carbonate) with a dissolved salt. Solid electrolytes have the potential to eliminate leakage and increase battery safety. Our portfolio includes organic solvents, salts and inorganics, and additives. 

Pure metals and metal alloys used in batteries include aluminum, cobalt, stainless steel and nickel in many forms, including foil, wires, powders and rods.
