Approfondimenti di mercato e visione degli analisti:< /strong>
I nanotubi di carbonio sono strutture cilindriche estremamente piccole costituite da atomi di carbonio. Sono noti per le loro proprietà uniche, come elevata resistenza alla trazione, buona conduttività elettrica e stabilità termica. Sono di due tipi, nanotubi di carbonio a parete singola e nanotubi di carbonio a parete multipla, i nanotubi di carbonio a parete singola sono costituiti da un singolo strato di atomi di carbonio arrotolati in un tubo, mentre i nanotubi di carbonio a parete multipla sono costituiti da diversi tubi concentrici. I nanotubi di carbonio sono utilizzati come materiali di rinforzo nei materiali compositi, accumulo di energia nelle batterie, materiali di rilevamento nei sensori, catalizzatori nelle reazioni chimiche e per applicazioni biomediche. Nell'industria medica viene utilizzato per la somministrazione di farmaci, l'imaging, i biosensori e l'ingegneria dei tessuti e nell'industria elettronica viene utilizzato anche come transistor, interconnessioni, display, accumulatori di energia, sensori, ecc.
Fattori e sfide della crescita:
I nanotubi di carbonio sono nanostrutture di carbonio con proprietà elettrochimiche e meccaniche caratteristiche come bassa densità, elevata resistenza e rigidità, elevata conduttività termica e conduttività elettrica. Le suddette proprietà dei CNT vengono sfruttate per la ricerca e lo sviluppo di sistemi di accumulo dell'energia. I CNT a parete singola e multiparete vengono utilizzati come additivi conduttivi nelle batterie agli ioni di litio e per sviluppare elettrodi della batteria al fine di migliorare le prestazioni della batteria. La crescente domanda di sistemi energetici, insieme al suo aumento dei costi, ha influenzato le organizzazioni governative e i ricercatori a sviluppare sistemi energetici efficienti per raggiungere gli obiettivi energetici globali. Ad esempio, nel 2020, NAWA Technologies ha sviluppato un elettrodo di carbonio ultraveloce, basato sulla sua tecnologia brevettata VACNT (Vertically-Aligned Carbon Nanotube), che prevede un allineamento verticale di 100 miliardi di nanotubi per centimetro quadrato. Nel 2022, JiangSu Cnano Technology Ltd ha annunciato il piano per costruire materiali per batterie, tra cui pasta conduttiva e nanotubi di carbonio, impianti di produzione in Cina e Germania. L'azienda ha annunciato un investimento di 180 milioni di dollari per la realizzazione dello stabilimento di Zhenjiang in Cina e prevede di produrre 450 tonnellate di prodotti a base di nanotubi di carbonio a parete singola all'anno. Nel 2022, gli scienziati del Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, negli Stati Uniti, hanno sviluppato CNT allineati verticalmente su un foglio di metallo per lo stoccaggio di energia e applicazioni elettroniche. Questo progetto è stato assistito finanziariamente dal Dipartimento di tecnologie chimiche e biologiche dell'Agenzia per la riduzione delle minacce alla difesa.
L'utilizzo dei CNT come additivo conduttivo nella produzione di batterie migliora la conduttività 10% rispetto al nerofumo, riducendo così del 30% l'utilizzo di additivi conduttivi. Inoltre, la crescente domanda di CNT per i materiali delle batterie dei veicoli elettrici ha influenzato i produttori di nanotubi di carbonio ad espandere gli impianti di produzione. Ad esempio, nel 2022, LG Chem Ltd ha investito nella creazione di un impianto di produzione a linea singola di CNT in Corea del Sud. L’obiettivo dell’azienda era produrre 3.200 tonnellate di nanotubi di carbonio all’anno per soddisfare la domanda del mercato dei veicoli elettrici. Secondo l’Agenzia internazionale per l’energia, si prevede che la capacità di produzione globale di batterie aumenterà da 200 GWh nel 2019 a oltre 1.200 GWh entro il 2024, a causa dell’aumento delle vendite di veicoli elettrici. Pertanto, la crescente domanda di CNT per applicazioni di stoccaggio dell'energia, nonché la crescente capacità di produzione globale di batterie, stanno guidando il mercato dei nanotubi di carbonio.
I CNT sono ampiamente prodotti e utilizzato grazie alla sua applicazione su larga scala in vari settori come l'elettronica, l'elettricità, l'aerospaziale e l'automotive. I nanotubi di carbonio hanno vaste aree di applicazione grazie alla loro semplicità di sintesi e caratteristiche quali elevata resistenza e rapporto diametro/lunghezza. Tuttavia, lo smaltimento dei CNT nell’ambiente costituisce una delle principali preoccupazioni. L’aumento della produzione e dello smaltimento dei CNT può causare inquinamento ambientale, poiché i CNT formano soluzioni colloidali e si legano a sostanze inquinanti come i metalli pesanti. I CNT, sia nella loro forma originale che ossidata, scaricati nei corpi idrici possono diffondere la luce in modo efficace, formando così una soluzione colloidale. Le particelle di una soluzione colloidale hanno un'elevata mobilità nei sistemi acquatici, aumentando così il rischio di esposizione e la tossicità. Inoltre, diverse ricerche hanno rivelato che i CNT possiedono una buona capacità di assorbimento dell’uranio. La presenza di CNT nei corpi idrici può influenzare la mobilità dei contaminanti organici idrofobici e dei metalli pesanti. Pertanto, i CNT possono influenzare negativamente i microrganismi planctonici presenti nelle superfici del suolo. La tossicità dei CNT nei microbi ha il potenziale di influenzare negativamente la produzione vegetale, la catalisi della materia organica, il riciclaggio dei nutrienti e la purificazione delle acque sotterranee. Pertanto, l'inquinamento ambientale causato dallo smaltimento dei CNT può frenare la crescita del mercato dei nanotubi di carbonio.
