Toshiba power battery 'awakening'

As the suzuki and mitsubishi motors power battery supplier, in the era of automobile electric, Toshiba power battery business, both in the installed base and influence in the world, are far less panasonic, its in the industry, more is just a & other; The innovator of lithium-ion batteries, revolutionaries throughout the &; Image.

but today, Toshiba is not content to this, it is working with technology as the breakthrough point, layout, and comply with a series of intensive market turnaround effort in the field of power battery & other; With runners & throughout; Role.

according to kyodo news, Toshiba recently revealed that have developed can be fast charging and longevity and durability of new type of lithium ion batteries. It is understood that the battery is used for small electric motors ( EV) When charging 6 minutes can travel 320 km, about three times in the past. In the loop, even if the repeated 5000 times charging and discharging the battery, still can maintain more than 9 into battery capacity. In addition, the temperatures of minus 10 ℃ low temperature environment also can realize quick charge.

about the battery on the technical implementation of high lithium electricity, according to Toshiba's the battery technology is before the SCiB system on the basis of development, based on titanium niobium oxide anode materials for lithium ion battery, the lithium ion storage is twice the graphite anode materials for lithium batteries.

niobium is one of the rare metal, as well as the implementation of the large capacity battery core, the metal is also used to auto steel additives to enhance the durability. In order to promote the production of a new generation of battery, Toshiba and and two-day ( 双日公司) , Brazilian mining company, CBMM) Signed an agreement to develop the use of titanium niobium oxide anode materials.

it is the world's largest niobium production/vendors, 'look for it is one of the shareholders, and the Japanese market general agent of CBMM, Toshiba, push the aim is that by cooperation with two-day, CBMM, niobium procurement costs lower, the development of performance and price products, to make it is not a simple stay in technical

as early as in 2008, it launched a super charged ion battery ( 超级离子电池充电,SCiB) , using lithium titanate as the cathode, which can realize fast charge and discharge, life as much as 15000 times, and 30 ℃ below zero can also be used in the environment.

on concrete supporting, Toshiba has realized in electric and hybrid vehicles, rail vehicle driving system and the substation of form a complete set of application in the field of energy storage facilities. At present, I - mitsubishi motors I-miev and suzuki EV are adopted Toshiba lithium batteries.

for further and more investment in the quick charge battery in electric vehicles, Toshiba's idea is that as & other; Sharing cars & throughout; The expansion of the demand of the quick charge battery will increase, and the new titanium niobium oxide anode materials and a new generation of SCiB cell is a subversive progress, is expected to range and performance have a significant impact in the electric power battery business as well as the & other; They & throughout; The opportunity.

technology r&d is just the tip of the iceberg, if you follow the Japanese enterprises for a long time, you will find that in recent years has been significantly increased in the field of the layout and input, the organization structure adjustment, capacity planning, and customer cooperation, and other fields have substantial progress.

in June 2018, Toshiba announced plans to invest nearly 5 billion yen to the lithium battery capacity increased by 50%, with independent technology of battery as it key development areas. Finish after capacity expansion, the factory is located in the surrounding of lithium battery capacity will be to produce batteries and on up to 1 million months of 1. 5 million.

in addition to the expansion of production capacity in China, Toshiba also in overseas layout of lithium battery business, to enter the international market. In 2017, Toshiba signed an agreement with suzuki, electric pile, announced a joint investment of 20 billion yuan to create a joint venture, manufacturing electric vehicles. the lithium battery in India, the factory plans to put into operation in 2020.

meanwhile, Toshiba will also battery business department has carried on the structure adjustment, it changed from level 3 departments to internal independent business unit, the group level strategic importance for the business.

the end of last year, Toshiba announced that in order to promote the rechargeable battery and architectural solutions business organization management structure, on April 1, 2019, the SCiB rechargeable battery business will by Toshiba infrastructure systems and solutions, inc. ( tis) Split directly transferred to Toshiba. Moreover, it will become a independent business unit within the Toshiba.

SCiB rechargeable battery business from becoming an independent business unit of Toshiba, also will be responsible for the supervision of Toshiba elevator and building system corporation, Toshiba lighting technology company and Toshiba carrier, the three companies are pushing for building energy storage solutions services.

analyzes believed that in the context of traditional business downturn, battery business is being Toshiba placed greater mission, it is through the integration of internal resources, electric vehicle application as the core, and with the combination of the energy storage application, promote its awakening and growing in lithium-ion battery business.
