As we all know, all lithium battery materials face the same problem as lithium iron phosphate batteries in terms of electrode capacity, that is, how to deal with the hostile relationship between function and cost. In the face of such hostility, experts have accumulated research methods and relevant experience of nanomaterials, so that we have the advantages and characteristics of nanomaterials. We can simply extend the past programming concepts and nanomaterial preparation technology to discuss and develop nanomaterials and simplify the synthesis process. We should develop a material with low cost and stable product quality.
In fact, there have been many successful changes in recent years. Professor Cui, a professor at Stanford University who is at the forefront of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, has already learned about nanoscale electrode materials used in lithium batteries and published research results in world-leading journals, such as the successful creation of silicon carbon anode sintering String. The volume of this new type of battery is 10 times that of the existing lithium battery. In China, the research of nanomaterials has a good research direction.
In the combination of nano and lithium, we are always full of confidence and enthusiasm. Initially, the experts in the laboratory chose lithium iron phosphate and graphene, two new materials in the physical world, as their research guide. After two years of continuous efforts, from a small test in a non-metal sintering furnace to a 100 kg dynamic powder heating furnace in a small-scale laboratory test, the current lithium iron phosphate material is transformed into a real nano material. The particle size is controlled at 100 nautical miles, but it does not increase. Cost of production. In terms of graphene materials, we have developed a new method to end the large-scale manufacturing of highly conductive graphene. Through our method, the production cost of expanded graphene material can be reduced to 790 yuan/kg (initial budget value), and large-scale application of graphene can be realized. At present, the scientific research of lithium iron phosphate and graphene is in the ascendant, and it is not easy to occupy a place. A vice president of BYD (BYD) explained their philosophy of success: We are never afraid of core skills. BYD has written the myth of Chinese start-ups. When others have it, I dare to do it; without others, I dare to think. BYD has problems at every stage, and we will say that you can’t solve it, not because of your lack of talent, but because of your lack of courage.
Official announcement! The latest development of new energy
In fact, the most important research and development policies for power lithium batteries are high energy density, high power characteristics, high safety, and low cost (or long life). Therefore, it is meaningless to study lithium batteries, because lithium batteries cannot generate data on very practical nano-scale electrodes. Although lithium iron phosphate nanomaterials dominate the test line after the sintering machine rotary kiln, the price of lithium iron phosphate nanomaterials once exceeded 300,000 yuan/ton due to the high production cost, which restricted its large-scale application.
Although most manufacturers claim to have proprietary intellectual property rights, almost all products are not real nanometers, and important particles are usually 200-300 nanometers. Therefore, the electrochemical performance data of lithium iron phosphate in China is relatively poor, and the amount of electricity generated is far from meeting the requirements of electric vehicles. The production cost of the quasi-nano lithium iron phosphate is naturally low (generally 70-80,000 yuan/ton), and the price is generally 120,000-150,000 yuan/ton to ensure profit. In fact, even the price of 10 yuan/ton is unacceptable for automobile power lithium batteries.
Many experts and companies believe that when the price of lithium iron phosphate materials drops to 70-80,000 yuan/ton or lower, lithium iron phosphate power lithium batteries can be widely used. Therefore, there is still considerable competition between the utility and price of lithium iron phosphate. In addition, the intermittent common performance of lithium iron phosphate has always been a difficult problem to solve, which brings great difficulties to battery design and affects battery equipment and applications.
