Lithium iron phosphate is lithium revolution triggered a new material industry, is the development of the industry’s most cutting-edge lithium.
With the rapid development of the economy increased demand for energy materials, as well as mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, camcorders, cars and other products for new, efficient, environmentally friendly energy materials, the strong demand, China’s lithium batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, the rapid development and promote the related materials industries. China’s battery market, new materials, mainly lithium-based materials and solar cell materials. As the domestic fuel cells still need some time away from the large-scale applications, and domestic firms in the technology and production technology gap with international standards, domestic fuel cell materials, almost all imported. China has formed a relatively complete industrial chain of lithium batteries, lithium battery materials and accessories in the possession of certain advantages.
In 2009, the traditional battery materials industry downstream mobile phones, laptops and power tools and other industry conditions continue to improve, to the industry a turn for the better. Benefit from the concept of new energy vehicles, the status of lithium-ion battery industry is better than Ni-MH battery. 2010, as nickel-hydrogen battery, the fuel cell before, lithium-ion batteries are rapidly jump up red. Lithium iron phosphate for bicycles, motorcycles and mobile phones, computers and digital products, technology has matured, the current low-power lithium-ion battery in China accounts for one-third more output, but the domestic manufacturers will be used in large lithium iron phosphate power output of the car are few. Car battery power costs account for the full cost of hybrid cars 30% to 50%, when the rise of new energy vehicles, lithium-ion battery and battery materials, explosive market growth expected to occur. Although lead-acid, nickel-hydrogen still present and led the next few years, but as cell phone lithium-ion batteries as quickly diverted Ni-MH battery, lithium ion battery will quickly seize the traditional battery market. Lithium iron phosphate material is newly developed lithium-ion battery materials. All kinds of lithium ion batteries from the current performance comparison shows that lithium iron phosphate is the most suitable for industrial use of electric vehicles, lithium-ion battery.
Lithium iron phosphate is lithium revolution triggered a new material industry, is the development of the industry’s most cutting-edge lithium. Lithium iron phosphate, because of its advantages are widely used in hybrid vehicles, power tools, electric bicycles, electric bicycle, power generation, energy storage and other fields. Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) in the next few years, the main development of new energy vehicles direction. Hybrid vehicle production with increasing penetration of hybrid vehicles, iron phosphate lithium battery market will grow rapidly in 2010 hybrid cars lithium iron phosphate and market more than 100 billion yuan.
Present in the lithium iron phosphate international leader in the field of mainly three are the United States of A123, Phostech Canada and the United States of Valence, to master the more sophisticated production techniques. The current capacity of the three major manufacturers about 4000 tons / year. Chinese enterprises have been launched since 2001, lithium iron phosphate material development, present, lithium iron phosphate industry, the domestic investment boom is on the rise, the trend more than any other country. As of 2009, there were 50-60 home appliance manufacturers will soon or have already completed the core product line acquisition, for capacity expansion, which has entered the industrial mass production to the market stability of supply enterprises in Tianjin strand, Peking University first, BYD , Hunan Shanshan new material 8, the rest are in the pilot phase in 2009, 2,500 tons of capacity under construction, all put into production, total production capacity of 5,000 tons in 2010, lithium iron phosphate production capacity continues to increase. Currently the annual domestic demand for the lithium iron phosphate is about 8,000 tons, less than actual sales in 2008 of 1,000 tons, in 2010 China’s annual demand of lithium iron phosphate will be more than 15,000 tons. Global supply of lithium iron phosphate gap will reach 100 thousand tons.
