High Structure Acetylene Black, Process for its Production, and Compositions and Uses Thereof

Abstract

A high structure acetylene black having an oil absorption number (OAN) of 360 mL/100 g or more and a BET surface area in a range from 50 to 200 m2/g is provided. Such high structure carbon black exhibits excellent electrical conductivity and good processing properties. e.g. dispersibility, having superior power to impart electrical and/or thermal conductivity to various materials, rendering it particularly useful for all kinds of applications where high electrical and/or thermal conductivity is desired or beneficial, such as manufacture of electrodes and other components of energy storage and/or conversion devices or electrically and/or heat conductive materials and articles made thereof.
