The layout of Qing Tao in solid-state batteries development is outlined

Leading new track of solid-state batteries, Qing Tao team has started a full layout of solid-state lithium battery in the upstream and downstream business, has realized the diaphragm material, solid-state batteries, the "trinity" of automation equipment development.

Qing Tao doesn't want to earn a quick buck.

“Too many people only want to earn the money this moment in lithium electricity industry, not to think about the future, in fact, if you can look up and have a look, will be better." Qing Tao (Kunshan) energy development co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Qing Tao development"), general manager of Dr Li Zheng said in an interview of high lithium electricity.

Qing Tao development founded by Tsinghua university south investment policy, academician team, these two years in lithium electricity industry "fame", and is very different from the other enterprises in the same industry, Qing Tao team look at the beginning, is the direction of the next generation of lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries.

Compared with the traditional lithium-ion batteries, solid state lithium battery with high safety performance, long cycle life, high energy density, large temperature range, flexibility, etc. and can solve the security facing the traditional lithium battery is poor and the problem of short range is considered to be the best choice for the next generation of lithium batteries, is expected to be power battery And energy storage technology, and is widely applied in different fields such as military power.

Qing Tao has been developing rapidly, just a few short years’ time, solid state lithium battery upstream and downstream business launched a comprehensive layout, has realized the diaphragm material, solid-state batteries, the "trinity" of automation equipment development. Qing Tao development with Jiangsu Qing Tao energy technology co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiangsu Qing Tao") and Qing Tao new energy materials research institute (Kunshan) co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Qing ceramics research institute") and Qing Tao (Kunshan) automation equipment co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "automation" Qing ceramics), Huizhou Xin hui automation equipment co., LTD and other subsidiaries; and in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, 10 years, Taizhou and Jiangxi Yichun built industrial base.

With the Qing Tao strategic layout echo each other at the international level for the attention of the solid-state batteries.

Recently, Japanese media reported that since may this year, the Japanese economy, trade and industry will spend 1.6 billion yen, joint domestic Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Panasonic, GS Yuasa, Toray, Agms, Mitsui chemical, Mitsubishi chemical, big car makers, battery and material manufacturers such as joint research and development of solid state battery.

Concentrate solid-state batteries to rise to national strategic height, and domestic top industrial power, Japan preempted solid-state batteries commanding heights in the field of determination.

In fact, it is also Qing Tao team stressed "looking up", lithium electricity industry in China is in a race and the world, not to rush to participate in the fighting, the current market more screens in advance on the track in the future.

Screens ahead of time, leading new track of solid-state batteries

High lithium electricity, as early as in 2002, the Qing Tao founding team began to research and development of solid state lithium batteries; in 2006, the Qing Tao team developed LLTO solid electrolyte material shows excellent performance; in 2010, a team of garnet structure LLZO technology mature, solid electrolyte materials of ceramic solid lithium battery laid a solid foundation. Is relying on the early accumulation of technical experience, Qing Tao schedule solid-state batteries industrialization leading industry peers.

Qing ceramics research institute was formally established in 2016, the R&D enter in Kunshan is Qing Tao new energy material and technology achievements transformation of "produce - study - research - use" important innovation platform, the solid state battery research and development process of Qing Tao accelerated fall to the ground, has breakthrough core technology solid-state electrolyte materials (LLTO, LLZO) production technology, and can stretch forming, thin film preparation methods such as all solid state electrolyte membrane is prepared.

In 2017, the Qing dynasty pottery development to realize industrialization of all solid state lithium battery as the focus, from materials, devices, equipment, multidimensional joint research, can be mass production of solid-state lithium batteries, the energy density of 350 wh/kg.

CIBF exhibition site, at the end of this year 5 Li Zheng shows high lithium electricity is about to mass production of Qing Tao solid-state batteries high security testing video: staff the solid-state batteries with scissors cut in the middle, and can see a few details, first, the battery does not contain any fluid in the electrolyte; second, after shearing of the battery, don't smoke, don't burn, no explosion, liquid battery before it is not possible; third, the completion of the entire operation, batteries and return to their original stable voltage.

"For the safety of the battery, this is a qualitative change. At the same time, on the cycle life of Qing Tao solid-state batteries realized after 500 weekly cycle, remain 92% capacity, can fully satisfy the application in the field of digital."

Li Zheng introduction, Qing ceramics would be in the second half of this year the solid-state batteries production, mainly will be in the form of monomer, wearable, digital, military power supply high value-added applications, and in the process of industrialization, exploring for process, equipment, materials and other shape step by step, and reduce the cost of feasible path.

On this basis, to explore in the field of power battery, step by step for the next 5 ~ 10 years in the field of new energy vehicles to lay the foundation of application of growing up, grab solid-state batteries new track gradually.

"People say industrialization of solid-state batteries have to at least five years, lay motionless, if that is four or five years. The key is, somebody has to do with what kind of mechanism to do, what to do."

Whole industry chain layout, solid-state batteries are not "castles in the air"

With the domestic many teams from academic venture need long-term transfusion, black pottery from the beginning to adhere self-reliance, to fully market-oriented ideas for layout of the market, to build "ceramic diaphragm - lithium battery equipment - all solid state lithium battery" industrial cluster.

"Qing Tao solid-state batteries layout is through the whole industry chain, in the form of a first ceramic material, solid electrolyte, equipment, and came up on the basis of solid-state batteries."

Such strategic let Qing Tao solid-state batteries not "castles in the air," can not only master the basis of industrialization of solid-state batteries materials, equipment, and can through these items for sale in the existing market system, in order to feedback solid state battery research and development of the project.

Large-scale industrial application has not been implemented in solid-state batteries, clear the thinking of Tao is: on the one hand to touch on equipment, materials and other core technology to overcome the key link to; will be involved in the field of materials, equipment, on the other hand, first into to the present market matching products for sale. In this way, you can through the business profit to support the early stage of the solid-state batteries production inputs.

Qing Tao energy was founded in 2014, is the Qing Tao first established a company, is committed to the R&D and industrialization of new type of ceramic membrane. The coating membrane annual capacity of 120 million square meters, built from pulverizing, homogenate, coating to the entire process of cutting and packing, products with independent intellectual property rights, has formed a complete set of unique technology system.

Li Zheng revealed that the past 2017 years, the Qing dynasty pottery energy coating diaphragm sales of more than 90 million yuan, has been with many listed companies to establish a stable customer relationship.

"In the short term, our sales is the diaphragm, but in the long run, the Qing Tao is provide enterprises with coating process and the overall solution."

From the Angle of li-ion battery technology development, the diaphragm is not a must, to ensure the safety of the battery performance, the future can be completely pulp powder coated directly on the pole piece, plus the electrolyte, this is the thinking of solid-state batteries.

Li Zheng thinks, solid-state batteries thinking and logic as well as in liquid battery. Qing Tao in sales at the same time, the diaphragm reserves can provide battery enterprise process, slurry, the ability of equipment such as the overall solution, and constantly communicate with the customer in the process and guidance.

Under the grand strategy of solid-state batteries, Qing ceramics in the diaphragm not only, also into the equipment. Qing Tao automation was founded in 2016, its main business including lithium battery diaphragm coating machine, slitting machine and other equipment. In 2017, the Qing dynasty pottery development and acquisition of the new Xin hui automation in Guangdong Huizhou, further expand the business in the field of equipment.

And diaphragm business logic, lithium electric equipment can directly bring Qing ceramics business cash flow, at the same time for its next solid-state batteries industrial equipment provides the technical support.

"Coating equipment on the one hand and ceramic coating membrane business can form synergy; Qing Tao will, on the other hand, through the equipment, technology innovation and evolution in the future to provide solid-state batteries battery enterprises industrialization technology and reasonable solution ability."

Li Zheng repeatedly emphasized to high lithium electricity a view is: the industrialization of solid-state batteries, is not built in a castle in the air, but need different links in the industry of form a complete set of mature first, then to promote the industrialization of solid-state batteries to mature. And this, it was also Qing Tao "encirclement" strategic path of solid-state batteries.
