Lithium iron phosphate power lithium battery is about to become the mainstream of China's power lithium battery industry

Faced with the dual pressures of environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction, the development of new green energy has been valued and supported by governments of various countries. Especially for my country, the development of new energy has been written into the national development "12th Five-Year Plan". Faced with the current huge automobile demand market, the current high oil prices and the energy shortage that may be faced in the future, new energy vehicles have become the development direction of my country's future automobile industry.

Lithium batteries are the core power of new energy vehicles, and the performance of lithium batteries mainly depends on the quality of the positive electrode material. The positive electrode material of lithium batteries is the core of the core. As a positive electrode material for lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate has become a commonly selected battery material in the domestic and foreign power lithium battery manufacturing industry due to its performance advantages.

The cathode materials used in power lithium-ion batteries in China mainly include modified lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and nickel cobalt manganese oxide (Li(Ni,Co,Mn)O2) ternary materials, and lithium iron phosphate has unique advantages. It can be made into a larger capacity lithium-ion battery and is easier to use in series to meet the needs of frequent charging and discharging. It is an ideal cathode material for the new generation of lithium-ion batteries due to its non-toxic, pollution-free, good safety performance, wide source of raw materials, low price, and long life. However, due to the high market price caused by the high production cost, although battery manufacturers are generally optimistic about lithium iron phosphate as a cathode material for power lithium-ion batteries, it is not widely used. This has also led to a huge market for lithium iron phosphate and brought opportunities for the research and development and production of more lithium iron phosphate.

The promotion and use of new energy vehicles will accelerate the development of the lithium iron phosphate battery market. It is understood that my country's new energy vehicle promotion cities have expanded to more than 20, and the demand for lithium batteries from new energy vehicles has grown by 566% last year. The demand growth rate in the next two years will still be as high as 100%, and after 2013, the growth rate can still be maintained at more than 30%. This will directly drive the development of power lithium battery production material companies and expand the market demand for lithium iron phosphate. The domestic companies currently involved in the production of lithium iron phosphate materials mainly include Henan Hongri Investment Group, Tianjin Stellan, Xingyuan Materials, etc. Among them, Henan Hongri Investment Group is a relatively large one. The production capacity standard of 10,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate proposed by the group, as well as the research and development patents proposed at the same time, have not only attracted the attention of the government, but also caused a sensation in the market. At the same time, the success of the experiment and the prediction of the cost have also stabilized the project standard of 10,000 tons of production capacity. After the project is put into production, Hongri will undoubtedly become one of the main suppliers of lithium iron phosphate in the world, which will definitely play a decisive role in the market share of the product.

Henan Hongri Investment Group's annual production of 10,000 tons of high-performance lithium battery copper foil and 10,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate projects are new energy projects vigorously supported by the Anyang Municipal Government. They belong to the key support areas of the national "863" plan, "973" plan and the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" high-tech industry development plan. The patented technology of the lithium iron phosphate project has original technological breakthroughs in the two industries of cold rolling waste acid treatment and lithium battery material production. After the two projects are put into production, they will have a great driving force for the development of lithium battery materials in Henan and even in China. After the Henan Hongri Investment Group's annual production of 10,000 tons of high-performance lithium battery copper foil and 10,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate projects are put into production, it will also greatly change the current market pattern of lithium iron phosphate and high-performance copper foil, and bring a huge driving force to the development of power lithium batteries.
