(What are the advantages and disadvantages of​ lithium batteries?)

Diamonds are forever, Gold is precious but which is rarer? Gold is a heavy metal formed during the collision of neutron stars and is one of the rarest elements on Earth.During the formation of the earth, heavy elements gradually accumulated towards the core under the influence of the earth’s gravitational force. This means that the closer you get to the Earth’s crust, the harder it is to find large quantities of gold.The average concentration of gold in Earth’s crust is “very, very low” at just 4 parts per billion. Gold concentrations need to be 1,250 times that level to form a market-worthy deposit.Diamond is a common element – the lithium batteries is undoubtedly a good investment opportunity.

The advantages of lithium batteries

1. Energy is relatively high. It has high storage energy density, which has reached 460-600Wh/kg, which is about 6-7 times that of lead-acid batteries;

2. Long service life, the service life can reach more than 6 years, the battery with lithium ferrous phosphate as the positive electrode is charged and discharged at 1C (100% DOD), and there is a record of 10,000 times of use;

3. The rated voltage is high (the single working voltage is 3.7V or 3.2V), which is approximately equal to the series voltage of 3 NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries, which is convenient to form a battery power pack; the lithium battery can pass a new type of lithium battery voltage regulator technology, the voltage is adjusted to 3.0V, which is suitable for the use of small electrical appliances.

4. With high power tolerance, the lithium iron phosphate lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles can reach 15-30C charge and discharge capacity, which is convenient for high-intensity startup acceleration;

5. The self-discharge rate is very low, which is one of the most prominent advantages of the battery, generally less than 1%/month, less than 1/20 of the nickel-metal hydride battery;

6. Light weight, the weight is about 1/6-1/5 of lead-acid products under the same volume;

7. High and low temperature adaptability, can be used in the environment of -20℃–60℃, and can be used in the environment of -45℃ after technical treatment;

8. Green and environmentally friendly, regardless of production, use and scrap, it does not contain or produce any toxic and harmful heavy metal elements and substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.

9. Production basically does not consume water, which is very beneficial to my country, which is short of water.

Specific energy refers to the energy per unit weight or unit volume. Specific energy is expressed in Wh/kg or Wh/L. Wh is the unit of energy, W is watt, h is hour; kg is kilogram (unit of weight), L is liter (unit of volume).

The shortcoming of lithium batteries 

1. Lithium primary batteries have poor safety and there is a danger of explosion.

2. Lithium-ion batteries of lithium cobalt oxide cannot be discharged at large currents, are expensive and have poor safety.

3. Li-ion batteries need to protect the circuit to prevent the battery from being overcharged and overdischarged.

4. The production requirements are high and the cost is high.

5. The use conditions are limited, and the high and low temperature use is dangerous.

Prior to the impact of COVID-19 on the chemicals and materials industry and the price of the lithium batteries, many industry observers expected low to flat growth in 2021 in all regions outside Asia, with many countries seeing slower growth compared to recent years. Operational excellence has long been a hallmark of the lithium batteries chemical industry, and many companies are financially able to withstand short-term dips in end-market demand due to rapid leverage from reduced capex on hand.

The analysis shows that, whatever the final course of the pandemic, we can expect the inevitable long-term effects. Workplaces are expected to slowly return to pre-COVID-19 practices. Companies investing in enterprise-wide digital initiatives saw these “payoffs” in the early pandemic environment. For more information about lithium batteries, please feel free to contact us.
