Lithium-ion battery market

SLC1015 is what Superior Graphite has developed in order to provide lithium-ion battery market with reduced surface area graphite. 

The rechargeable battery (NiCd, NiMH, and lithium-ion) market for 2003 for portable electronics was around 5.24 billion, around 20% more then 2002. The lithium-ion battery market was around 3.8 billion ( 73%). They are now used in more than 90% of cellphones, camcorders, and portable computers, worldwide, and have also been adopted in power tools recently.

The lithium-ion battery market has grown tremendously over the last decade to keep pace with consumer electronics. In the last few years, high-power Hthium-ion batteries have penetrated into the power tool market, and now, large-scale lithium-ion batteries are finding use in stationary and transportation apphca-tions. These new markets have led to new demands on separators for Hthium-ion batteries. 

The first commercial application for high volume MEA production will be for small portable electronics, which is driven by ever increasing power requirements and for longer duration energy sources. The US Fuel Cell Council, which has over 115 corporate members, has forecasted that the fuel cell market for small portable electronics will be 2 billion by 2011 with the potential of a 70% market penetration into the lithium ion battery market by 2007. To get a better understanding of this market size it is also forecasted that there will be 1.6 billion cell phone subscribers in 2007 worldwide, 76 million laptop shipments in 2007 and 37 million shipments of PDAs (personal digital assistants) in 2007. 

The variety of practical batteries has increased during the last 20 years. Applications for traditional and new practical battery systems are increasing, and the market for lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries has grown remarkably. This chapter deals with consumer-type batteries, which have developed relatively recently. 

Lithium-ion batteries, high-energy lithium and metal-air batteries, electrochemical capacitors have been changing radically, in recent years, the structure of the market of power sources. 

One of the lessons learned in the 1990s was that the enormous need for high-performance portable power is not diminishing. Consumer electronics continues to be a vibrant, worldwide market force, leading to ever-increasing demands for portable power. The inability of lithium ion batteries to fully satisfy consumer electronics has been one of the principal motivations for the dramatic rise in fuelcell research and development. As the dimensions of devices continue to shrink, the question arises as to... 

In the lithium-ion secondary battery, which was put on the market in 1990, the difficulty of the Li+/Li electrode was avoided by use of a carbon negative electrode Cy), which works as a host for Li+ ions by intercalation. The active material for the positive electrode is typically LiCo02, which is layer-structured and also works as a host for Li+ ions. The electrolyte solutions are nearly the same as those used in the primary lithium batteries. A schematic diagram of a lithium-ion battery is shown in Fig. 12.2. The cell reaction is as follows ...
