Internal Combustion – Batteries
In both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), the battery modules must be safe, lightweight, and compact. Traditional thermal management metals, such as aluminum, result in battery modules that are unacceptably large and heavy. Flexible, natural graphite directly replaces aluminum to cool the cells during regular charge/discharge operation and to prevent propagation in the event of a cell failure. Lightweight and effective graphite additives can assist in reducing or eliminating the risk of a fire.

Internal Combustion – Marine Batteries
For commercial marine applications, such as ferry boats and diesel-electric hybrid cargo ships, having battery systems that are safe, reliable, compact, and lightweight is critical. In addition to having expected lifetimes of up to 10 years, these marine systems must be able to pass the rigorous anti-propagation standards set forth by groups such as DNV·GL. Economical natural graphite is used as a direct aluminum replacement in these battery systems to provide propagation control, while maintaining a small footprint and lighter weight.

Internal Combustion – Drone & Aerospace Batteries
In commercial, package delivery, military, and aerospace Drones / UAV’s, battery thermal management is critical. However, being compact and lightweight is just as important. Traditional thermal management metals, such as aluminum, result in battery modules that are thick and heavy, reducing flying time and carrying capacity. Flexible graphite is used as a direct aluminum replacement in these battery systems to provide the needed battery cooling while maintaining a small footprint and lighter weight.
