Only China in the world is huge investment on lithium electricity? China electronics technology group company‘s chief scientist, researcher xing-jiang liu introduced senior engineers, 2015 global lithium electricity investment total - $12 billion in 10 billion, mainly from Japan, South Korea and China, the United States and other countries. According to statistics, the Japanese companies such as panasonic and GS Yuasa in lithium ion battery‘s accumulated investment of more than $5 billion. Therefore, is not only China is conducting lithium electricity investment, lithium ion power battery industry has become a global investment hot spots, the market competition is fierce. Public information, tesla Nevada, companies are building annual output can reach 35 GWH super factory, with a total investment of up to $5 billion, plans to achieve full capacity in 2020, when the annual production of lithium batteries for 500000 electric cars use. LG chem has announced plans to wroclaw in Poland to build a power battery factory, production capacity of 50000 sets. Before this, LG chem has factories, such as the USA Michigan.
"A few years ago, a leading global power battery supplier is Japanese companies such as panasonic, now South Korea‘s samsung and LG chemical is one of the world in the field of ternary lithium batteries the first camp." Shanghai automotive industry corporation technology center, deputy director of the company general manager zhu said, South Korea to support the battery technology as a strategic pillar industry, government and become a shareholder or investment in research and development facilities, continuous research and development companies have invested billions of dollars in funds.
At present, the multinational corporation in the lithium battery project investment accelerated in our country. In October 2015, LG chemical plant in nanjing was completed, the production capacity of 100000 sets, completed and put into production in the same month announced with samsung SDI xi ‘a(chǎn)n factory, the factory produces 40000 sets of automobile power battery, by 2020 around $600 million of investment in multiple phases.
Said in the article, academician of Chinese academy of sciences, department of tsinghua university professor Lu Jiang think "China lithium battery technology route is basically failed". , Lu Jiang told our reporter, before the media said this, he had on a academic BBS in shenzhen new energy development problems, such as a report, then someone out of context and distorted view online, did not interview to him.
"Lithium electricity industry in China is the cathode material, electrolyte, the diaphragm and other key materials have been realize localization." For the main raw materials are imported, wang fang, points out that although some high-end imports in some key materials, but the proportion is smaller.
Xing-jiang liu said, lithium ion battery electrolyte consists of high purity lithium (mainly six lithium fluoride phosphate) and high purity solvent composition, in 1997 began a few years, the electrolyte is totally dependent on imports, part raw material imports, but in our country through unremitting efforts, has made six fluorine phosphoric acid lithium materials such as independent intellectual property rights, breaking the foreign technology monopoly, six lithium fluoride phosphate in 2004 to realize industrialization. Now power battery material in addition to the part of the diaphragm basic implementation localization, also became one of the lithium battery materials in production. Tianjin lishen battery joint-stock co., LTD., executive vice President Gao Junkui introduction, lishen current power battery key raw materials all the positive and negative, electro-hydraulic, diaphragm use domestic materials.
Article also said that the lithium mineral resources mainly controlled by Japan. Researcher at the institute of China electronics technology group co., LTD. The 18th level senior engineer hao-jie liu said that the lithium resources required for the production of lithium ion battery cathode material, mainly, lithium from salt lake and sea. Due to the low mining cost of saline lake lithium resources, the source of lithium lithium electricity industry is still mainly rely on saline lake lithium resources, rather than the lithium and the ocean. China‘s qinghai, Tibet and lithium resources reserves are more abundant of jiangxi province, qinghai lithium‘s proven reserves accounted for about a third of the world of salt lake lithium resources reserves, lithium resources in Tibet high grade, if reasonable development and recycling, can completely self-sufficient.
"Power battery industry in China started in 2006, considering from safety and resources, has chosen the energy density in the 120-140 wh/kg of lithium iron phosphate technical route, after nearly 10 years of development, has formed a complete industrial chain of autonomy, controlled." Said yan-hua xu, deputy secretary-general of the China association of automobile manufacturers.
"In recent years, our country is now one of international leading world power battery shipments." 863 national energy saving and new energy automobile project supervision consulting team Wang Binggang introduction, in 2014 China‘s power battery production and sales accounted for about one-third. In 2015, byd, CATL, the porch, eight companies such as China aviation lithium electricity strong one of the top 15 in the global power battery shipments.
But Wang Binggang also pointed out that due to dispersion of r&d strength power battery industry in China has a lack of international competitiveness of enterprises and industrial clusters, especially in the field of ternary lithium batteries, is still in the acceleration phase, "increase battery research and development and industry infrastructure is a priority."
"At present, China‘s power battery capacity, lithium iron phosphate accounted for 80%, 90%." Ningde era of new energy technology co., LTD., chairman of Li Pingshui, independent development of high energy density of ternary lithium battery in our country, has begun in the international luxury brands and domestic mainstream brand passenger car small-scale applications, test can be completed in 2-3 years safety assessment, China will master the ternary lithium battery core technology.
