Toshiba announced the SCiB rechargeable battery business and independent

According to foreign media reports, Toshiba announced that SCiB rechargeable battery business will by Toshiba infrastructure systems and solutions, inc. ( TISS） Split directly transferred to Toshiba. Moreover, it will become a independent business unit within the Toshiba.

SCiB is Toshiba, rechargeable lithium ion battery has rapid charging ( Five minutes to charge 90%) , high security, Ceramic materials and high ignition point electrolyte) , high energy density, Comparable to capacitor) , long life, Charge discharge loop 6000 times) , good low temperature resistance, The lowest working temperature can reach - 30℃） And a series of characteristics, suitable for high-end electric cars. Since its launch in March 2008, the SCiB battery has sales of more than 10 years in the market.

Toshiba to privatise SCiB department is more advantageous to its rapid growth, in November 2018 announced the SCiB department's restructuring plan, the battery will be positioned as the new growth business, will become one of the key areas of business group.

2018 EAST physics experiment lasting experience more than four months, physics experiment for the future fusion advanced the development of the steady state operation mode and long pulse operation under the key problems in science and technology, focus on the core under high power heating physical mechanism research series experiment. By optimizing the steady-state radiofrequency waves, and other heating technology under the condition of high parameter, coupled with the current of the plasma advanced control, etc. , combining with the theory and numerical simulation of the heating power more than 10 mw, plasma energy storage increases to 300000 kilojoules; Coordination with low noise in electron cyclotron heating, the plasma center electron temperature reached 100 million degrees, and effectively expand the adapted to the steady-state high fusion plasma of high performance constraint model of operation range, realized the high constraints, high density, high pressure and fully induction advanced steady-state operation mode, the normalized parameters near future steady state model, fusion required physical condition. EAST of these experimental results for the future international thermonuclear fusion reactor experiment operation and ongoing China fusion engineering reactor experiment CFETR engineering and physical design provides important experimental basis and scientific support. （ CCTV reporter ShuaiJun full)

the market demand for rapid growth of SCiB, Toshiba had been through the form such as capital investment and the league to expand its production capacity. In Japan, the company will be in yokohama, kanagawa prefecture, build a new production line, and strengthen the manufacturing facilities now, by niigata county plant was run. In addition, in 2017, Toshiba corp. , suzuki motor and the Denso unit company in India to set up a joint venture company, the production car lithium-ion battery pack, Toshiba will also cooperate with Johnson controls the power supply company.
