Description

General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. Aluminum oxide serves as a multifunctional additive or coating in lithium-ion batteries, helping stabilize electrode–electrolyte interfaces, suppress side reactions, improve thermal stability, and extend cycle life. By enabling safer, longer-lasting cells, it reduces material waste and energy use across the battery lifecycle. Click here for more information.

thermal expansion = 7.5 × 10^-6 /°C; specific heat = 0.10 cal/°C; thermal conductivity = 46.06 @ 0 °C, 25.12 @ 100 °C, 12.56 @ 400 °C (W/m,K); dielectric constant = ~9.4 @ 300 K at A axis, ~11.58 @ C axis; loss tangent at 10 GHz < 2 × 10^-5 at A axis, 5 × 10^-6 at C axis
