Introduction of common cylindrical lithium battery models
Cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are usually represented by five digits. Counting from the left, the first and second digits are the diameter of the battery, the third and fourth digits are the height of the battery, and the fifth digit represents the cylindrical shape. There are many types of cylindrical lithium batteries, the more common ones are 10400, 14500, 16340, 18650, 21700, 26650, 32650 and so on.
Introduction to the structure and classification of various types of cylindrical lithium batteries
Cylindrical lithium batteries usually refer to cylindrical 18560 lithium batteries, which can be divided into three material systems: lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate, and ternary materials. Batteries are widely used in: notebook computers, digital cameras, lighting fixtures, toy products, power tools, portable mobile energy and other fields.
What is a quaternary battery
Everyone is familiar with ternary batteries, and its cathode material is usually nickel-cobalt-manganese or nickel-cobalt-aluminum. What kind of battery is a quaternary battery that is one yuan more expensive than a ternary battery?
China's power battery output increased by 191.6% year-on-year in October
Recently, the China Automobile Manufacturers Association's November data release conference was held in Beijing. The China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance released monthly power battery data for October 2021. The total power battery output was 25.1GWh, an increase of 191.6% year-on-year.
What is a cylindrical lithium battery? What are the advantages of cylindrical lithium batteries?
Cylindrical lithium batteries are divided into different systems such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate, cobalt-manganese hybrid, and ternary materials. The outer shell is divided into two types: steel shell and polymer. Different material systems have different advantages.
The difference between cylindrical lithium battery and square lithium battery
Cylindrical lithium batteries are divided into different systems such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate, cobalt-manganese hybrid, and ternary materials. The outer shell is divided into two types: steel shell and polymer. Different material systems have different advantages. At present, cylindrical batteries are mainly steel cylindrical lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are characterized by high capacity, high output voltage, good charge-discharge cycle performance, stable output voltage, large discharge current, stable electrochemical performance, safe use, and wide operating temperature range. Environmental protection, widely used in solar lights, lawn lights, backup energy, power tools, toy models.
What are the dismantling and recycling methods for lithium iron phosphate batteries?
The decommissioned lithium iron phosphate batteries and the batteries after the cascade use that do not have the value of cascade use will eventually enter the dismantling and recycling stage. The difference between a lithium iron phosphate battery and a ternary material battery is that it does not contain heavy metals, and the main recovery is Li, P, and Fe. The added value of recycled products is low. Need to develop a low-cost recovery route, there are mainly two recovery methods, fire method and wet method.
The price of battery raw materials has skyrocketed
With the rapid release of demand for new energy vehicles, the power battery, which is the heart of new energy vehicles, is encountering a new round of imbalance between supply and demand.
BYD announced a 20% increase in product prices from November
On October 26, 2021, a BYD battery price increase contact letter was posted on the market. According to the letter, due to market changes and superimposed power and production restrictions, compared with December 2020, lithium battery raw materials will continue to rise in 2021. The price of cathode material LiCoO2 will increase by more than 200%, the price of electrolyte will increase by more than 150%, and the price of anode materials will increase by more than 150%. As the supply continues to be tight, the overall cost has increased significantly. According to the actual situation of rising raw material prices, the unit price of CO8M and other battery products will be increased after research.
What is the role of lithium-ion battery electrolyte?
As a portable energy storage device, lithium ion batteries are widely used in mobile phones, notebook computers, cameras, electric bicycles, electric vehicles and other fields. Among them, the lithium battery electrolyte is an aspect that cannot be ignored. After all, the electrolyte, which accounts for 15% of battery cost, does play a vital role in battery energy density, power density, wide temperature applications, cycle life and safety performance.
