Markets for LiB

1. Market of LiB is expandingFuji Keizai predicts:Year 2012：1.1 Trillion yenYear 2017: 1.7 Trillion yen

Applications: Note PC, Smart Phone, Video Camera, EV, HV, Factory backup etc.In Japan, HV and EV are already soldin 2011 using LiB and NiH.Companies of US and EU will startproduction of EV using LiB in 2013.

Markets for LiB

2. Application is shiftingApplication of LiB started from cameras and spread to Note PC, Smart Phone and further to EV/HV/PHV and Large Storage.

METI forecast:Battery Market to grow to 20 trillion yen by 2020.‐ Cars ‐‐ 8 trillion yen‐ Storage at Home/Bldg.

‐‐ 5 trillion yen‐ Storage at Factories

‐‐ 7 trillion yen9

Markets for LiB

3. EVSales of EV are not growing as expected earlier. Fuji Keizai predicts the market to reach 1 million around 2020.

10

Markets for LiB

Nissan‐Renault: ‐ Plans to sell 1.5 mn EV by 2016 (acc.). ‐ Capacity to produce batteries for350,000 EV yearly. ‐ Reality is that Nissan sold only50,000 EV (acc.) by January 2013.

The global market of EV will reach 100,000 in 2016.

4. HVToyota’s sales of HV reached ca. 1.2 mn EV in 2012.Honda’s sales of HV are estimated at 20% of Toyota’s. Rest of the world combined will be as large as Honda’s.

11

Markets for LiB

5. Idling Stop System (ISS) & Micro Hybrid Vehicle (MHV)Due to stricter emission control, ISS is installed in more cars in Japan and Micro Hybrid Vehicles are getting more popular in EU. In both cases, a generator is used as a motor to drive a car. MHV has a bigger power than ISS.

12

Markets for LiB

6. Electric BicyclesIn China more than 20 mn electric bicycles are sold yearly. More and more electric bicycles are equipped with LiB rather than Pb batteries.

13

Markets for LiB

7. Electricity storage/supply at factory, office & home(1) Batteries must be equipped with Solar Cells and Wind Power

Generators to minimize fluctuation.(2) Batteries will be used for emergency and to cut the peak use.

(1) Capacity by Weight and VolumeOrganic materials or metal compounds.

(2) Power by Weight and VolumeOrganic materials or metal compounds.

(3) Life TimeStructure of chemicals and crystals

(4) SafetySolid electrolyte, structure of crystals

(5) CostFe, Mn is cheaper than Co, Ni.

16

Technologies for LiB

Li can realize high voltage and capacity. No use of water is required and dendrite is formed.Both demand high technology for safety.

19

(1) Cathode materials‐ LiCoO2 used for Notebook PCs but not suitable for EV/HEV asCo is too expensive and production is mostly limited to Congo.‐ LNM, NMC, LFP and other materials are under testing tooptimize cost performance.‐ It is not very clear which material will become main compound.

Materials for LiB

(1) Cathode materialsA proper compound will be selected for the purpose.

(2) Anode MaterialsGraphite will be the main compound for the coming years.

There are however different kinds of graphite.1) Soft carbon2) Hard carbon3) Synthetic graphite4) Natural graphite

Combination of carbon materials will be used for better cost performance.

(5) Binders to coat electrode materials on Cu foilAnode and cathode materials are powder‐like materials. To make such materials adhere to Cu foils binders are used. PVdF is widely used for high grade LiB. NMP is used as solvent for PVdF. SBR is used for ordinary grades in large amounts. Also CMC is required to control viscosity of the mixture of electrode materials.

(5) Binders …PVdF is a binder for high grade LiB and needs NMP as solvent.PTFE can be used as a binder without using NMP as solvent but water.

31

43

(1) Japan is leading production and development of LiB for electronics and cars and materials for LiB.

(2) Japan is also leading production and development of HV and EV.(3) HVs are sold more than expected while EVs are lagging behind.(4) Germany has a great impact on the growth of EV and HV.(5) Germany has a great impact on production of materials for LiB.(6) CHEMPARK is preparing for production of LiPF6.(7) CHEMPARK is also an excellent location to produce other LiB

materials like carbonate solvent for LiB electrolyte.
