The last episode of "News of the Week" before the Spring Festival, OFweek Lithium Power Grid wishes everyone a happy Spring Festival in advance! There are many news and highlights about lithium batteries this week. Ningde Times has launched a high-energy density battery project, ZTE Paineng has launched the industry's highest energy density lithium iron phosphate power battery, and the previously concerned "production capacity requirements" in the "Specification Conditions" (draft) may be lowered, and the official version will also be announced soon. Let's take a look!

Comprehensive section:

1. lithium battery copper foil supply is in short supply, and cobalt prices continue to soar in January

Copper foil is an important raw material for lithium batteries. In 2016, the actual production capacity of lithium battery copper foil in China was about 36000 tons/year. By the end of 2016, the upper limit of production capacity that can be achieved through technological transformation is about 40000 tons/year, and the actual demand for lithium battery copper foil in the market may reach 50000 tons. It is expected that the demand for lithium battery copper foil in the future market will maintain an annual growth rate of over 20%, especially in the field of power batteries, where the annual growth rate of lithium battery copper foil is expected to exceed 50%.

Industry experts predict that from 2017 to 2018, lithium battery copper foil will continue to be in short supply until 2019 when lithium battery copper foil enterprises complete a new round of capacity expansion, and the supply situation may shift from shortage to surplus.

In addition, data shows that cobalt ingots in the domestic small metal sector performed outstandingly in January, rising all the way. As of the 16th, the average price of cobalt in the domestic market was 289666.66 yuan/ton, a significant increase of 6.95% compared to the average market price of 270833.34 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month. Since the start of the cobalt price rise in November, it has skyrocketed by 36.42%.

2. Ningde Times 300Wh/kg Battery Energy Density Project Launched

Recently, the "Industrialization Technology Development of New Generation Lithium ion Power Batteries" project was launched in Ningde. This project is promoted by the Fujian Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and jointly applied by Ningde Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The purpose of the project is to develop lithium-ion power batteries with high nickel ternary materials as positive electrodes and silicon carbon composites as negative electrodes, significantly increasing the specific energy of lithium-ion power batteries from the current 150-180Wh/kg to over 300Wh/kg, and significantly reducing the cost of power batteries.

According to the plan, the project will be industrialized and applied in 2020. The high specific energy power battery developed at that time will double the range of electric vehicles, reaching 450-500 kilometers.

3. New standards for lithium-ion batteries for mobile phones in China

It is reported that due to the inability of the original national standards for mobile phone batteries to adapt to the current development of the industry, some low-quality products have appeared in the market, which has to some extent harmed the interests of consumers. In order to ensure the healthy development of China's lithium-ion battery industry, relevant national departments entrusted Aucma Company to oversee the revision of the national standard for lithium-ion batteries last year. The revision work is nearing completion and will be released soon.

At present, there are over 200 domestic mobile phone battery manufacturers, including small factories that operate in a manual workshop style. Industry insiders say that this means that China's lithium-ion battery industry will face a reshuffle.

4. ZTE Paineng launches 175Wh/kg soft pack lithium iron phosphate batteries

Recently, Shanghai ZTE Paineng 50Ah soft pack lithium iron phosphate battery has passed strong inspection and testing, with an energy density of 175Wh/kg, becoming the industry's highest energy density lithium iron phosphate power battery.

With the adjustment of the 2017 national subsidy standards for new energy vehicles, subsidies for passenger cars and buses are directly linked to the energy density of battery systems, and the subsidy amount varies greatly depending on the energy density. It is reported that the battery system produced using ZTE's lithium iron phosphate battery can meet the highest national subsidy standards.

5. The regulatory capacity requirements for the power battery industry may be adjusted

Recently, there have been media reports that compared to the draft of the "Norms and Conditions for the Automotive Power Battery Industry" released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology more than a month ago, the annual production capacity threshold of lithium-ion power battery individual enterprises has been lowered from 8 billion watt hours to the range of 3 billion watt hours to 5 billion watt hours.

According to Wang Zidong, director of the National 863 Electric Vehicle Major Special Power Battery Testing Center, the range of 3 to 5 billion watt hours is not accurate. When the official document release conference surprises everyone, it will move towards the direction expected by the industry and enterprises, but it is definitely not a requirement in the range of 3 to 5 billion watt hours. In addition, he expects the release of the "Specification Conditions for the Automotive Power Battery Industry" (2017) in the near future.

13. How to prevent lithium battery explosions? Stanford scientists come up with new tricks

Recently, a new study published online in the journal Scientific Progress showed that a separator with a core-shell structure made of electrospun materials will dissolve its polymer shell at high temperatures, releasing flame-retardant materials, which can effectively prevent the ignition and combustion of lithium batteries.

Researchers from Stanford University in the United States have developed a new type of "smart" electrospinning separator, which has a thermal triggering mechanism and contains flame retardants inside, which can be used to prevent the combustion of lithium-ion batteries.

In this structure, the flame retardant is packaged inside the polymer protective shell to prevent it from directly dissolving into the electrolyte, which can have a negative impact on battery performance. When the heat inside the lithium battery is too high, the polymer protective shell will dissolve due to high temperature, releasing flame retardants, effectively suppressing the combustion of highly flammable electrolytes.
