Chemours Innovations Driving Sustainable Electric Vehicle Performance
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is rapidly increasing, with some forecasts suggesting that by 2040, there could be as many as 730 million passenger EVs on the road globally. To maintain this momentum, car manufacturers are concentrating on next-generation materials that address consumer demands such as reliability, longer driving ranges, and faster charging, while also meeting the thermal, chemical, and electrical requirements of EVs. At Chemours, our cutting-edge products and technologies are helping shape the evolution of high-performance and more sustainable EVs, from battery components to interior comfort.
One notable example is the integration of advanced fluoropolymers in battery production. These materials can streamline the manufacturing process for battery components and eliminate the use of harmful solvents traditionally found in lithium-ion battery production. This not only reduces costs in EV manufacturing but also results in more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.
The use of Chemours’ high-performance fluoroelastomers and fluoropolymers also significantly boosts the durability and reliability of EVs. These robust materials are employed in crucial components like cables, seals, and gaskets, ensuring they can endure harsh conditions, thus improving vehicle performance and extending their lifespan.
Driver comfort is equally important, and Chemours' low global warming potential fluorinated gases are vital for heating and cooling the cabin. Additionally, these gases contribute to ongoing advancements such as battery cooling, enhanced driving ranges, faster charging, and vehicle weight reduction, all while cutting overall emissions. Chemours’ advanced lubricants and fluoropolymers also minimize vibrations and reduce external noise, providing smoother, more comfortable rides.
Chemours remains committed to fostering sustainable innovation for EVs. With the recent launch of the Chemours Battery Innovation Center, we are collaborating with partners and customers to explore and adopt groundbreaking battery technologies that will contribute to the creation of superior EVs.
As we celebrate World EV Day, Chemours takes pride in being an industry leader. Our unique chemistry and top-tier products enhance the sustainability and performance of EVs while meeting consumer expectations. Our efforts are integral to advancing the future of electric transportation and fulfilling our mission to create a more sustainable world.
