杰士汤浅开发出不使用石墨的锂离子电池

杰士汤浅计划在2030年前推出不使用石墨的锂离子电池,以解决对中国石墨供应的依赖问题。该公司将用硅代替石墨作为电池负极材料,并通过改良粘合剂和电解质来解决硅电池劣化速度快的缺点。这种新电池首先将在船舶和飞机等领域应用,未来还将扩展到电动汽车和混合动力汽车等领域。杰士汤浅目前在车载锂离子电池市场份额较小,但与本田合作投资新建工厂,并开发新产品以提高市场竞争力。

Summary: GS Yuasa Corporation, a Japanese battery manufacturer, plans to commercialize lithium-ion batteries that don’t use graphite by 2030, starting with applications in ships. The company will replace graphite with silicon as the negative electrode material. This move is driven by concerns over reliance on China for graphite supply. While Toshiba is developing lithium-ion batteries without graphite in the negative electrode material, GS Yuasa’s attempt to completely replace graphite with silicon is rare.

GS Yuasa aims to first commercialize the technology for ships and aircraft. After achieving this, the company will consider applications in electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles if the batteries can withstand repeated charging and discharging without significant degradation.

GS Yuasa currently has a small share of the automotive lithium-ion battery market. The company plans to expand its capacity and develop new products to enhance its market presence. This is part of a joint venture with Honda to invest 434.1 billion yen in electric vehicle battery development and a new factory in Japan.

Graphite is commonly used as the negative electrode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its stability and safety. However, it has limitations in terms of capacity and dependence on China for supply.

Silicon is seen as a promising alternative to graphite, but it has the drawback of accelerated battery degradation. GS Yuasa is tackling this issue by improving the adhesive materials for connecting components and the electrolyte for electrical exchange.
