New tin applications
0 likes332 views
The document discusses new applications for tin in lithium ion batteries using tin alloys and composites with carbon nanotubes and graphene. It notes tin could gain 35% of the battery market within 5 years and enter the hybrid vehicle market. Additional applications mentioned include using tin in stainless steel and steel products like bridges and brake pads as more sustainable alternatives. The document also outlines tin-based lubricants, fuel catalysts that save fuel, and tin's ability to remove trace metals in testing.
