The EUV pellicle is a component used in semiconductor EUV processes to protect the photomask from contamination, thereby improving yield. CNT membranes serve as a core material for these pellicles, and are increasingly considered the only viable candidate for high-power EUV tools where traditional silicon-based materials fail.

Reducing weight is an important goal in electric vehicles and other mobility industries. Many are now looking for ways to replace heavy copper wires with lighter materials. CNT fibers already conduct electricity well, and with a special plating process, they can match copper’s performance while weighing only one-fifth as much. This lightweight wiring could also be used in aerospace.

With the rapid advancement of AI, semiconductor performance is improving at an unprecedented pace. As a result, thermal management has become one of the most pressing challenges for the industry. In electric vehicles, where there’s no engine to help with cooling, heat control can directly impact how far the car can go. axrial CNT fabric and nonwoven sheets offer efficient heat transfer while remaining flexible, making them easy to apply. This has led to growing interest from companies across the industry.

Traditional metal-based heaters are often too stiff or fragile, so they can only be used in limited ways. However, axrial CNT fibers combine high flexibility and strength with rapid heating and cooling, enabling applications in areas where conventional heaters fall short.

To overcome the limitations of lithium-ion batteries(LiBs), next-generation rechargeable batteries such as solid-state and lithium-sulfur batteries are being actively developed for higher energy density, better safety, and longer life. Recently, sheet-type CNT materials have gained attention as key components for electrodes and current collectors, with related R&D accelerating both in Korea and around the world.

axrial’s fiber-type CNTs, optimized for field emission, make it possible to build durable cold cathodes for digital X-ray sources. Unlike powder or crystalline CNTs, they offer superior lifetime. Electrode materials are not available for external supply.
