From the Lab to the Production Line: How Can We Accelerate the Commercialization of Carbon Nanotube Technology?
Jan 14,2026
Accelerating the transition of carbon nanotube technology from the laboratory to production lines hinges on building an innovation ecosystem characterized by deep integration among industry, academia, research institutions, and end-users. The government needs to play a guiding role by formulating specialized policies and establishing industrial funds to provide both financial and policy support for technology transfer, thereby reducing R&D risks for enterprises. Meanwhile, enterprises should strengthen collaboration with universities and research institutes, setting up joint laboratories or pilot-scale testing facilities to facilitate rapid technological iteration and process optimization. For instance, addressing industrial bottlenecks such as the dispersion and purity of carbon nanotubes, stakeholders from industry, academia, and research can work together to develop key technologies—including high-efficiency dispersants and continuous purification equipment. At the same time, it is essential to refine the standards system and enhance testing and certification platforms to ensure product quality is fully controllable and to provide reliable support for downstream applications. Moreover, cultivating an “early market” for carbon nanotube applications is crucial. Through demonstration projects and government procurement, we can take the lead in promoting carbon nanotubes in fields such as new-energy batteries and conductive composite materials, thus creating a virtuous cycle in which scaled-up applications drive technological maturity. Only by smoothing the entire chain—from basic research and technological breakthroughs to industrial application—can carbon nanotubes, as “materials of the future,” truly move beyond the lab and shine brightly on production lines.
