subject: Aarkstore Enterprise China's Power Li-ion Battery Market Report 2008 [print this page] Li-ion batteries have become the main power sources of mobile phones, laptops and digital electronic devices since Sony successfully commoditized Li-ion batteries in 1991. In the past, many governments and companies made great effort to develop power Li-ion batteries for HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) and EV (Electric Vehicles). For example Japan developed its Sunshine Project and had participants that included Hitachi, GS-Yuasa and Panasonic. While having obtained a license to deal with nickel-metal hydride batteries, Toyota built a production line for power Li-ion batteries of its own, and attempted to use Li-ion batteries in HEV. And Nedo, another Japanese company, announced its plans for developing new car batteries in February 2007. In Korea, LG also set hand on the development of high-power polymer Li-ion batteries, and has already released two models, which are 6Ah-144Wh/kg and 10Ah-158Wh/kg. The U.S. Department of Energy also supports the development of the third-generation power Li-ion batteries, while French SAFT has developed two models of high-power Li-ion batteries, with a specific power output of 500W/kg and 350W/kg.
Although the Li-ion battery industry started later in China than in Japan, it has been growing quickly, and much funding has gone into research and development of power Li-ion batteries. For instance, Electric Vehicles are a major part of China's 863 Project, in which the Institute of Physics (of Chinese Academy of Sciences), Beijing Research Institute of Nonferrous Metals, the 18th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, and other organizations have participated. The batteries would be for both EV and HEV, and some participants adopted manganese compounds as the active cathode materials for the batteries.
While detailing the supply and demand, niche markets, application market and other aspects of China's Power Li-ion battery industry, this report compares the performance of the products and the operational performance of China's major Power Li-ion battery producers. In addition, this report forecasts the development trend of the country's Power Li-ion battery industry and analyzes the opportunities and risk as an investment.
