MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517075089 A) filed by Lg Energy Solution, Ltd., Seoul, Republic of Korea, on Aug. 7, 2025, for 'conductive material dispersion, electrode, and lithium secondary battery.'

Inventor(s) include Ko, Min Jin; Yang, Hyun Jin; Kwon, Yo Han; and Lee, Jae Wook.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to: a conductive material dispersion comprising single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) clusters, wherein the number average length of the SWCNT clusters is 0.8 ? to 8.0 ?, the number of the SWCNT clusters having a length exceeding 10 ? is no more than 15% of the total number of SWCNT clusters, the number average diameter of the SWCNT clusters is 5 nm to 30 nm, the number of the SWCNT clusters having a diameter exceeding 30 nm is no more than 15% of the total number of the SWCNT clusters, and the length and diameter of the SWCNT clusters are measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM); and an electrode comprising the SWCNT clusters. The present invention has the advantages of forming a conductive network well due to having excellent dispersibility, and thus being able to achieve excellent conductivity even in small amounts, having excellent processability due to the low viscosity of the dispersion, and being able to contribute to improved battery performance when the conductive material dispersion is applied to the electrode."

The patent application was internationally filed on Sept. 25, 2024, under International application No.PCT/KR2024/014492.
