Der Markt für Siliziumanodenbatterien in China, Japan und Korea soll von 79,15 Millionen USD im Jahr 2018 auf 1.521,26 Millionen USD im Jahr 2026 anwachsen, bei einer CAGR von 44,7 % im Prognosezeitraum 2019 bis 2026. Die für die Studie berücksichtigten Jahre sind unten aufgeführt. Den vollständigen Bericht finden Sie unter https://databridgemarketresearch.com/reports/japan-silicon-anode-material-battery-market . Ursprünglich wurden Silizium und Graphit in den Lithium-Ionen-Batterien verwendet. Aufgrund der begrenzten Menge an Graphit als natürlicher Ressource begannen die Unternehmen jedoch, nur noch Silizium in den Lithium-Ionen-Batterien zu verwenden, da dies die Lithium-Ionen-Kapazität sowie die Speicherkapazität erhöht. Silizium wird hauptsächlich in Elektrofahrzeugen verwendet, einem der am schnellsten wachsenden Märkte. China, Japan und andere Länder im asiatisch-pazifischen Raum haben begonnen, Elektrofahrzeuge auf ihrem Inlandsgebiet einzusetzen, was zu einer erhöhten Verwendung von Batterien mit Siliziumanoden geführt hat. Dieser Bereich befindet sich noch in der Entwicklungsphase, da die Größenausdehnung beim Laden und Entladen recht hoch ist. Einige der jüngsten Entwicklungen in diesem Markt sind:
- Im Dezember 2018 eröffnete Elkem Silicones am Standort Saint-Fons im französischen Lyon ein neues Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum. Dieses neue Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum soll das globale Wachstum des Unternehmens durch die Entwicklung hochwertiger Silikonspezialitäten unterstützen.
- Im August 2018 eröffnete Elkem ASA sein neues Werk für Gießereiprodukte in Paraguay. Mit der Eröffnung seines ersten Werks in Lateinamerika weitete das Unternehmen sein Geschäft dort aus.
- Im April 2018 präsentierte Targray auf der Battery Show Europe 2018 in Hannover seine neue Produktlinie fortschrittlicher Materialien für Lithium-Ionen-Zellen.
China ist zudem der größte Hersteller von Elektrofahrzeugen und Elektronikprodukten. So wurden 2017 rund 600.000 Elektrofahrzeuge in China produziert. Das bietet China enorme Chancen, da Elektrofahrzeuge Batterien mit hoher Speicherkapazität und schneller Ladefähigkeit benötigen. So patentierte die Huawei Consumer Business Group im Oktober 2018 eine Lithium-Silizium-Batterie mit Schnellladefähigkeit und verbesserter Sicherheit. BTR New Energy Material Ltd. ist zudem eines der führenden Unternehmen für Silizium-Anodenmaterial für Lithium-Ionen-Batterien. 2017 wurden in China über 41,7 Millionen Mobiltelefone produziert und 97 neue Modelle auf den Markt gebracht. Dies erfordert Innovationen und Verbesserungen hinsichtlich der Speicherkapazität von Mobiltelefonen, und Silizium hat sich aufgrund seiner hohen Speicherkapazität und schnellen Ladefähigkeit als eines der besseren Anodenmaterialien für elektronische Geräte wie Smartphones erwiesen. Silizium-Anodenmaterial befindet sich noch in der Anfangsphase, aber es gibt bereits viele Entwicklungen und Innovationen, um die Herausforderungen zu meistern, die sich für Silizium-Anodenmaterial ergeben. Beispielsweise
- Ashland hat das Bindemittel Soteras MSi entwickelt, das die Kapazitätserhaltung um 30 % verbessern und die Schwellung verringern kann.
- Norwegische Forscher haben eine bessere Methode zur Stabilisierung der Siliziumanode in Lithium-Ionen-Batterien namens SiliconX entdeckt, die sich deutlich von Batterien aus reinem Anodenmaterial unterscheidet, da Batteriematerial aus reiner Anode zwar eine enorme Ladekapazität besitzt, aber auch eine höhere Verschleißrate aufweist, während bei SiliconX die Ladekapazität höher ist und die Lebensdauer stabiler ist.
Proper innovation and development can make silicon material more suitable for lithium ion batteries and may replace traditional anode materials such as graphite. BTR New Energy Material Ltd dominated the Silicon anode battery market and accounts for the highest market share in 2018 which is followed by Targray Group, Elkem ASA, SHIN-ETSU CHEMICAL CO., LTD., JSR Corporation, Albemarle Corporation, NanoGraf Corporation, Ashland, Orange Power Ltd., and Nexeon Limited. Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. was founded in 1926 at Tokyo, Japan.
