Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), with their unparalleled energy density advantages, occupy an undisputed dominant position in the electrochemical energy storage (EES) market.
However, have you ever thought about how this battery, which is now widely used, came into our lives? What are the past lives of lithium-ion batteries?
From 1970 to 1989
The year 1970
Exxon's M.S. hittingham used titanium sulfide as a positive electrode material and lithium metal as a negative electrode material to make the first lithium battery.
The year 1982
R.r.argarwal and J.R.Selman of the Illinois InsTItute of Technology have found that lithium ions have the property of embedding graphite, and this process is fast and reversible. At the same time, the use of lithium batteries made of metal lithium, its safety risks have been concerned, so people try to use the characteristics of lithium ions embedded in graphite to make rechargeable batteries. The first usable lithium-ion graphite electrode was successfully produced by Bell Laboratories.
The year 1983
M. hackeray, J.Goodenough et al. found that manganese spinel is an excellent cathode material with low price, stability and excellent conductivity and lithium conductivity. Its decomposition temperature is high, and the oxidation is much lower than lithium cobaltate, even if there is short circuit, overcharge, but also to avoid the danger of combustion, explosion.
The year 1985
SONY has devoted itself to the research and development of lithium-ion batteries, SONY is very confident, the material preparation is amazing, and the combination of positive and negative electrolytes reaches more than 100 million kinds.
The year 1987
Moli Energy, a Canadian company, launched a lithium battery with molybdenum dioxide as a positive electrode and lithium metal as a negative electrode, which has been sought after around the world and has become a revolutionary product and the first truly widely commercialized lithium battery.
The year 1988
SONY applied for the first lithium battery patent and named the new product Li-ion battery, although SONY applied for a patent similar to Goodenough's earlier paper, but Goodenough did not pursue.
The year 1989
anthiram and J.Goodenough found that the positive electrode of the polyanion would produce a higher voltage.
From 1990 to 1999
The year 1990
Industry leader: lead-acid batteries.
The year 1991
SONY has launched the first commercial lithium-ion battery.
The year 1992
SONY invented a lithium battery with carbon material as a negative electrode and a lithium-containing compound as a positive electrode. In the charging and discharging process, there is no metal lithium, only lithium ions, and a new generation of practical lithium ion batteries has been developed.
The year 1994
Lithium-ion batteries to the public, lithium-ion batteries initially existed only in SONY's own products, but this impasse was broken in 1994 by Dell, Dell notebook computers began to use lithium-ion batteries.
The year 1995
The Japanese company SONY invented the polymer lithium battery, the electrolyte is a gel polymer.
The year 1996
The development of lithium iron phosphate was successful, and Goodenough once again made a surprise, proposing the commercialization of lithium iron phosphate.
The year 1997
Japan's first lithium-ion battery pure electric vehicle Prairie JoyEV is produced.
The year 1998
Academician Chen Liquan, the father of China's lithium battery, used a full set of domestic equipment to create the first lithium battery production line.
The year 1999
Commercialization of polymer lithium-ion batteries.
2000 - present
The year 2000
Byd won the Moto order, BYD in the past only three years to the cadmium-nickel battery business to the world's first, in 2000 invested heavily in lithium battery research and development, when MOTOROLA orders.
The year 2001
In theory, the smaller the particle, the better the magnification performance, but after 11 years of research and development, the project failed.
The year 2002
Xinxiang Zhongke Technology was established, Gern diaphragm broke the foreign monopoly on the diaphragm market, and the four main materials of lithium battery were fully localized.
The year 2004
The rise of China's lithium battery industry, with the production of Lishen, Guangyu, CATL, Bic and other large battery plants, China's lithium-ion battery annual output of 800 million, accounting for 38% of the global share, second only to Japan.
The year 2006
Byd's first electric vehicle F3e, due to the insufficient policy at that time, charging facilities are not supporting, F3e did not go on sale.
The year 2008
With the rise of South Korean companies such as LG and Samsung, the international lithium battery market is divided into three parts of the world.
The year 2010
With the mass production of domestic lithium hexafluorophosphate, Tianjin Jinniu took the lead in shifting its marketing focus to lithium hexafluorophosphate, followed by domestic enterprises led by polyfluoride to enter the field.
The year 2011
China's megawatt-level energy storage station is connected to the grid, and the energy storage field is an application stage for lithium-ion batteries in addition to electric vehicles, which is also the world's first megawatt-level energy storage station using lithium iron phosphate.
The year 2012
Tesla Model S launched, 100 km acceleration of 5.6S, the maximum speed of 193km/h, the maximum range of 480km.
The year 2013
787 in the flight because of battery failure cat eye and landed, after the accident analysis is because the lithium-ion battery in the high temperature experienced low temperature caused, which makes the application of lithium ion in the space field cast a shadow.
The year 2014
The global sales of civilian drones reached 390,000, an increase of nearly 50%, and the design and production technology of drone batteries has become an emerging direction of the lithium-ion battery industry.
The year 2016
SONY sold the battery division, due to Panasonic's control of the high-end passenger car battery market, the cost war under LG, Samsung and Chinese manufacturers, the continuous loss of SONY's battery division is hopeless, to Murata production to resell the power pool business department.
The year 2017
The 94-year-old father of lithium, Goodenough, once again came out of the mountain, and the solid-state battery developed by his team completed 1200 cycles, and can be used at -20~60 ° C, which may once again trigger a revolution in the lithium industry.
The year 2018
Hydrogen fuel cell impact.
2019
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has announced that it has awarded JohnGoodenough, Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their outstanding contributions to the development of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
The year 2020
Byd launches' blade battery '.
2022
CTP3.0 Kirin battery released by Ningde Times.
As yet
The development of lithium-ion batteries is far from over. Scientists are still continuing to explore new materials and technologies with higher energy density, faster charging speed and longer cycle life, trying to promote further breakthroughs in lithium-ion battery technology to meet people's growing demand for battery energy.
