BNNT are known for their exceptional properties. Dr. Kim shares, "BNNT have high thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, chemical stability, electrical insulation, and cosmic radiation shielding, etc. However, producing these nanotubes on an industrial scale has long been a challenge due to the high reaction temperatures and energy consumption required." Other traditional methods like laser and plasma synthesis might be costly and inefficient which limits their applications in broader industrial uses.
Dr. Kim, a respected expert in this field, has found a way to overcome the vast challenges with a proprietary thermochemical reaction process. "We've developed a method using a conventional furnace that operates continuously, 24/7, with significantly lower energy consumption," explains Dr. Kim. "This allows us to produce several tons of BNNT annually with small pilot systems which is essential in addressing the limitations of previous methods and enabling large-scale production."
Naieel Technology's innovative process not only reduces energy costs but also makes BNNT more accessible for industrial applications. "The misconception that BNNT is too expensive and not widely available has been a barrier," noted Dr. Kim. "Our ability to produce BNNT at scale showcases the progress we've made. We are redefining its use in critical industries."
The implications of this breakthrough are vast. BNNT' unique properties make it ideal for use in semiconductor thermal management, lithium batteries, and aerospace applications. As industries face increasing demands for advanced materials, Naieel Technology's solution is expected to have a transformative impact.
"Thermal issues in semiconductors are a growing concern as devices become smaller and more powerful," Dr. Kim added. "BNNT offers a solution with superior thermal conductivity even with a small amount added to conventional thermal materials. We are currently working with industry partners to evaluate and expand its application in these areas."
Looking ahead, Naieel Technology is prepared to scale production further as demand increases. The company is also exploring new applications for BNNT, including the possibilities for defense, energy storage, and space, where its properties could offer significant advantages.
