Lithium Battery Energy saving Upsurge
With the constant fluctuations in international oil prices, energy saving environmentally friendly lithium battery in the limelight once again a hot topic. From 6 months, the number of international auto companies and electronics companies are using large-scale lithium battery joint investment. Including Toyota and Matsushita, Nissan and NEC, Volkswagen and Sanyo, Bosch and Samsung, they believe that lithium batteries in the next few years will gradually replace the nickel-metal hydride batteries, lead the direction of development of hybrid vehicles. Li-ion battery in the heat of global investment background, China's automotive enterprises in this research work is in what kind of? Experts on the lithium battery is holding what kind of attitude? Recently, the reporter interviewed specifically on this issue who has studied the domestic lithium battery, several experts.
Beijing Institute of Electric Vehicle Engineering Center Deputy Director Lin Cheng
Study of lithium iron phosphate has been a breakthrough
Lin Cheng told reporters, demanding automotive lithium batteries. It requires that the vehicle used in a variety of conditions, must protect the security, can not occur fire, explosions and other accidents. The first was for battery electric vehicles, in this country has made great breakthroughs have begun to take industrial scale. But 5,6 years ago, with the battery powered vehicles are often some accidents, such cells will gradually be diluted. Now, the domestic lithium battery research progress quickly, especially in the battery safety issues, has made great progress.
Lin Cheng told reporters, lithium batteries include lithium manganese oxide and lithium iron phosphate batteries. At present, the development of the domestic lithium manganese oxide has begun to take shape. Lithium iron phosphate as safer, longer life, will become an important direction for future development of lithium batteries, but also abroad, the focus of research and development of the automobile. At present, lithium iron phosphate studies of good progress, especially in some of the patent on a breakthrough, this time for the Beijing Olympic Games is a passenger car with a self-developed lithium iron phosphate lithium battery.
"Of course with the study abroad compared to lithium batteries, the domestic lithium battery research still lags far behind, but the domestic lithium battery emphasis on increasing, the future will be the R & D focus." Lin Cheng told reporters.
Henan Huanyu Group lithium battery industry technology Deng Lun-ho, deputy chief engineer
Large-scale lithium batteries for electric cars need some time
Henan Huanyu Group is a component from the battery to the battery cell manufacturing plastics and related hardware, equipment manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, a complete industrial chain of the Enterprise Group, has undertaken the project of Science and Technology Li-ion battery research and development.
"At present the domestic lithium battery research and abroad, the gap is mainly reflected in the battery control system and power management systems." Deng Lun-ho told reporters that now the domestic lithium battery research for development in their respective state. Currently, some companies have been able to provide the corresponding lithium battery electric vehicle accessory products, supporting the general lithium batteries can run 200 to 500 km.
Deng Lun-ho told reporters that now the price is too high the domestic lithium battery, power management system problem has not yet been well resolved. Charging electric vehicles also face the problem. Currently, the general line at home can not charge lithium batteries for electric vehicles must be equipped with a small dedicated charger, and charging time is very long and very troublesome. Abroad, in order to solve this problem, generally regarded charging stations and gas stations together. China is now charging stations have not established a large scale.
Deng Lun-ho believes that the current consumer acceptance of electric vehicles equipped with lithium batteries it still more difficult: "the price of an ordinary electric car is about twice the same configuration or even higher gasoline locomotives, domestic consumers have not enough economic prepared to accept the power and electric vehicles. "
China Electric Power Research Institute engineer Chuang Feng
Optimistic about the prospects for the development of lithium iron phosphate
Chong Tong, told this reporter, the electric vehicle battery research and development work has gone from lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries to the development of lithium batteries, each battery advantages and disadvantages.
The earliest to appear in lead-acid batteries, used in the longest time, belonging to the battery series. The best safety performance lead-acid batteries, rare explosion, fire and other phenomena, energy storage effect is not ideal. Later, people developed a nickel-metal hydride batteries, store energy and power than the effect of the ideal lead-acid batteries, but due to nickel-metal hydride battery in the charging of hydrogen generated in the process prone to explosion, so the nickel-metal hydride batteries in a business may or may not state.
To the year 2000, people developed a lithium battery. Lithium batteries are lead-acid storage battery of power 2 to 3 times, but because it contains lithium-ion active in the metal layer surface, prone to spontaneous combustion in the air, explosions, etc., higher risk. So now the major countries is to control the development of lithium batteries is safety and stability.
"Charging a lithium battery would be able to cycle around 1000, in which the stored energy of lithium iron phosphate is better than lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide effects worse, but it's the best safety performance, than lead-acid battery energy storage much higher, so now the most promising lithium iron phosphate. "Chuang Tong said.
Society of Automotive Engineers of China, director Chen Quanshi branch of electric car
Three problems of domestic lithium battery research
Quan-Shi Chen said in an interview: "Now the state attaches great importance to the study of lithium batteries, '863 'project, the state invested a total of 66 million yuan, all development work for the lithium battery. We and Japan, the United States such as walking in the lithium battery research and development in the forefront of the developed countries, China's lithium battery manufacturing precision, equipment, standards, etc. there is a certain gap between R & D details. "
Quan-Shi Chen told reporters that at present there are three issues of domestic lithium battery research. The first is the consistency of manufacturing. Since the lithium battery manufacturing technology and equipment there is a gap, the domestic lithium battery production technology mixed, manufacturing standards has not yet reached agreement. Lithium batteries used in electric vehicles are connected in series or in parallel, if the consistency issues are not well, then the large-scale production of lithium batteries used in electric vehicles will not be able.
Followed by the intellectual property rights. Currently in the study of lithium iron phosphate has made a breakthrough, but the U.S. patent in this area, so although some of our links to independent research and development, but in intellectual property issues, but also do not know how to respond.
The third issue is the selection of raw materials. Now the production of raw materials used in lithium batteries can not all imported, mainly from China, but domestic raw materials, through international certification, to produce lithium-ion batteries in order to be internationally recognized, so the link in the certification of raw materials and also some problems.
