Calculation of energy density of lithium battery and metal lithium for dry goods series of lithium battery

How important is the energy density of a pure electric vehicle battery?

This seems to be like discussing how important the beating of the heart is to the human body. For a pure electric car, or a more standard one, the performance, range and reliability of a battery-powered car depend on the battery pack. The number of batteries and the energy density in a single cell. This formula is easy to understand: total power = number of batteries × energy density of a single cell.

The structural design of modern cars is actually very rigid, leaving only a little space for the battery pack. Most models are concentrated under the cockpit floor. Of course, this is also due to safety and space considerations.

Therefore, the number of batteries has been limited to a certain range and cannot be increased significantly. If you want to enhance the performance of the battery car, you can only make a fuss about the energy density.

First of all, what is battery energy density?

Energy density refers to the amount of energy stored in a certain space or mass matter. The energy density of a battery is the electric energy released by the average unit volume or mass of the battery. Battery energy density=battery capacity×discharge platform/battery thickness/battery width/battery length, the basic unit is Wh/kg (watt hour/kg).

The greater the energy density of the battery, the more electricity stored per unit volume.

Regarding battery energy density, now we all know that it is the most obvious breakthrough in the current battery industry, even the electric vehicle industry, but it is really difficult to break through it!

â–³Proportion of inactive materials (except leads, etc.) in a typical battery design

It is reported that the energy density of the battery is basically determined by the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, but only the positive and negative active materials cannot guarantee that the battery can be powered on. There must be a lot of inactive materials, such as conductive auxiliary agents and the adhesion between active powders. Bonding agent, isolation film, anode and cathode foil, insulating and fixing adhesive tape, aluminum plastic film shell or steel aluminum shell, etc.

Most of us always ignore the content of this part of the substance intentionally or unintentionally, and the energy density obtained is quite different from the facts, misleading the people who eat melons. In fact, this part is quite important. Taking the technological progress of the past ten years as an example, the increase in battery energy density is mainly achieved by the increase in the proportion of active materials.

â–³Change and prediction of energy density

There is also an increase in the size of the original battery to achieve the effect of capacity expansion.

The most familiar example is that Tesla, a well-known electric car company that was the first to use Panasonic's 18650 battery, will replace it with a new 21700 battery. The reason is not that the 18650 battery has any quality problems. It is just that the capacity of a single 18650 battery is small, generally around 2-4Ah. There are too many series and parallel connections, and the probability of monomer failure is high, which causes its application in the field of electric vehicles to be affected. limit.

â–³The picture shows the 21700 battery

The 21700 battery is larger in size than the 18650 battery (18mm in diameter and 65mm in length), reaching a diameter of 21mm and a length of 70mm. If you want to think about this problem more vividly, we might as well take a look at the calculations from Hitech Energy, which only considers the dense accumulation of monomers. It can be seen that the volume of 30 pieces of 21700 is 1.1 times the volume of 40 pieces of 18650, and the mass is 0.97 times.

Under the same energy, the number of batteries required can be reduced by about 1/3, and the number of metal connections inside the battery pack is reduced, thereby further reducing the weight of the battery pack, and the energy density of the vehicle will be partially increased, reaching close to 300kw/kg.

The following three points are particularly noticeable:

1. By 2020, the specific energy of lithium-ion power battery cells will be greater than 300Wh/kg; the specific energy of the system will reach 260Wh/kg; the cost will be less than 1 yuan/watt-hour; the use environment will reach -30℃ to 55℃; it has 3C charging capacity .

2. By 2025, the specific energy of the monomer will reach 500Wh/kg.

3. Strive to realize the industrialization and vehicle application of lithium-ion battery products with a single battery of 350Wh/kg and a system of 260Wh/kg.

A few days ago, Aoyang Shunchang (002245) disclosed in the 2018 semi-annual report that Tianpeng Power has completed the technical reserve of 18650 3.5AH products in terms of high nickel NCA product reserves, and can put into production according to the requirements of electric vehicle customers. The system energy density exceeds 160Wh. /kg of high energy density battery.

BAK, the leading company in the ternary column, also stated that the company’s 3.0Ah 18650 power cell has been equipped with a new A00-class SUV model of JAC Volkswagen.

It is clear that with the improvement of 18650 power cell automation and intelligent production level and downstream car companies' demand for high-energy density batteries, 18650 battery companies are moving towards high-capacity cell products above 3.0AH.

According to statistics from the Advanced Institute of Technology, Industry and Research Lithium Battery (GGII), there are currently more than 20 domestic companies that have mass-produced 18650 power cells. However, due to factors such as capital, technology, production capacity, technology, equipment, etc., there are not many companies that can finally mass produce 18650 power cells above 2.6AH.

From the perspective of production capacity, Gaogong Lithium Battery has counted 6 18650 battery companies with better technology and market reputation, including BAK, Yiwei Lithium Energy, Zhihang New Energy, Far East Foster, Tianpeng Power, and Lishen. Gram ranks first with 6GWh production capacity. Although Lishen's production capacity is not high, it is learned from its insiders that the current supply of the company's 18650 is in short supply and production capacity is tight.

If measured by technology, the chief engineer of a domestic cylindrical battery company said that the domestic 18650 power battery is still the main benchmark against Panasonic, and its 18650 above 3.0AH has been actually applied to Tesla, but stable mass production of 2.8-2.9Ah18650 in the country Become a threshold for battery companies.

At present, 2.4-2.6Ah capacity battery products are the mainstream products in the current new energy vehicle market, and they are also the most competitive products of domestic cylindrical battery companies.

As the most mature power battery technology route for production technology, 18650 batteries have the advantages of short delivery cycle and uniform size standards. Especially for car companies, the biggest advantage is that the number of cylindrical battery companies with satisfactory domestic production capacity and high cost performance is relatively large. There are many options, wide selection, and convenient switching.

However, in order to meet the demand of downstream customers for high energy density of power batteries, the high capacity of 18650 is an inevitable trend of future development. Although the 21700 has been replaced by a trend, from the current point of view, there are only a handful of domestic companies that can stabilize the mass production of the 21700, and the 18650 will remain in the mainstream for at least 1-2 years.

So, what are the difficulties for battery companies to upgrade from 2.6Ah to 3.0AH or even higher 18650 cells?

The consensus of many battery companies, including BAK, Lishen, Far East Foster, and Yiwei Lithium Energy, is:

First of all, high capacity must start from the material side, importing high nickel or even with silicon carbon and other materials, battery companies need to overcome difficulties such as high nickel cathodes that are sensitive to the application environment and moisture. The slowdown in the application of silicon carbon in the power market this year is also related to the slower advancement of battery companies in technology. Secondly, after having the experimental level, the biggest bottleneck lies in how to achieve large-scale mass production and truly realize the application of truck loading.

Both of these two major difficulties place higher requirements on the equipment, process and technology of 18650 battery companies. Gaogong Lithium Battery hereby sorts out the layout of 7 18650 battery companies in BAK, Lishen, Tianpeng Power, Far East Foster, Penghui Energy, Zhihang New Energy, and Zhuoneng New Energy in high-capacity battery cell products. A glimpse of the domestic 18650 battery technology level.
