The demand for high-performance carbon materials is becoming increasingly diversified, and innovation in binders and additives has become a key industry focus.

Jan 14,2026

With the rapid development of high-end sectors such as new-energy vehicles, aerospace, and semiconductors, the demand for high-performance carbon materials is exhibiting an unprecedentedly diversified trend. Beyond their continued deepening in traditional applications like electrode materials and refractory products, these materials are now shining brightly in emerging fields—including energy storage, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and electromagnetic shielding. This trend places increasingly stringent demands on binders and additives. Traditional single-function binders can no longer meet the complex and ever-changing requirements of manufacturing processes, making multifunctional composite binders and highly efficient additives the current research hotspots. Enterprises are stepping up their R&D investments, striving to develop innovative products that not only enhance the performance of carbon materials but also simplify production processes and reduce costs. Meanwhile, the tightening of environmental regulations is driving the industry toward greener and more sustainable practices, with non-toxic and biodegradable binders and additives becoming a new research frontier. It is foreseeable that every future breakthrough in binders and additives will create new growth opportunities for the high-performance carbon materials industry and propel the entire industrial chain toward higher levels of advancement.
