Lithium Supply-Demand 2020 / Lithium Metal Market Study -    metal bulletin financial modeling mining consultant battery market forecast HEV's electric vehicle forecast  supply-demand forecast market   
TRU  has undertaken long range 2020 lithium supply-demand market forecasts. The project was a major assessment employing our team of lithium supply side and demand side experts. The supply analysis was in detail for both brine and minerals [mainly spodumene]. It included a forecast of the main basic lithium chemicals - lithium carbonate, lithium chloride and lithium hydroxide.The demand side analysis included lithium consumption in batteries, lubricants, glass / glazing / ceramics, air conditioning, pharmaceuticals, polymers, metal alloy, and other applications. The outlook included demand in electric vehicles [including a detailed examination of EV and HEV, PHEV, PEV battery technology innovation and the readiness of lithium cell technology for this application].  To our knowledge the study is the only authoritative long range lithium supply-demand analysis available. In a separate assessment, TRU staff managed a review of markets for lithium metal including batteries, Al-Li alloys and organo lithium compounds. Lithium metal  [high & low sodium Li] and li alloy competitors were positioned, prominent butyllithium producers identified, and recommendations on development and market entry strategies put forward.   battery anode carbon composite anode cell cathode material graphite fiber Li-Fibre battery fibre cell fiber in batteries graphite fiber  Arlene Ebensperger a, Philip Maxwell b,, Christian Moscoso lithium industry: Its recent evolution and future prospects Dudley Kingsnorth, Daniel Jimenez,

There are sharply increased customer demands for a much better rechargeable battery – one more powerful, long lasting, efficient, compact and safe. The Li-Fiber battery meets all these demands and is particularly ideal for use in laptop computers, power tools and hybrid electric vehicles. The Li-Fiber battery is also low cost and has the potential to replace conventional Li-Ion or Li-Poly batteries not only in the above uses but potentially for all applications. The COMPANY has a strong competitive advantage in a fast expanding target market valued at $6 billion worldwide in 2005. It aims to exploit this position as soon as possible. Management has extensive battery experience. Client needs $1 million urgently to produce samples of the most safe best performing laptop battery. $15 million for flexible plant.

Laptop battery recalls such as the recall by DELL, Apple, IBM, Toshiba and Lenovo of over 9 million notebook computer batteries made by Sony and Sanyo would be a thing of the past and the 2008 spare battery rules for air travel would also be unnecessary. This is if Li-Fiber cells are adopted since they are inherently safe and do not heat up with use**. The Li-Fiber battery outperforms conventional Li-Ion and Li-Poly cells, The lightweight cell beats all comers on energy per gram - a projected energy density of 450 Wh/L or 250 Wh/kg and have many other advantages beyond safety. The cell is highly flexible with no heat management required. SOURCES RESOURCES  China lithium Keliber Resources Ltd DangXiongCuo DXC

** Problems with Conventional Lithium Batteries**

- conventional Li-ion cells are a zero tolerance technology -

Li-Fiber batteries will also replace conventional Li-Ion rechargeable and other batteries because all of the weaknesses of these batteries are resolved with the new technology. The current need is filled with Pb-acid batteries for automobile starting-lighting-ignition, Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries for aerospace and military, and Ni-MH and lithium-ion batteries for portable electronics applications such as laptop computers. The main problem with the present lithium-ion batteries is their safety and related capacity restraints. Ninety per cent of the material cost for Li-ion cells is associated with five cell components – overcharge / over-discharge protection circuit, cathode (LiCoO2 or LiNiCoO2) and anode (MCMB carbon) materials, electrolyte (LiPF6), and separator. The need for over-charge / over-discharge protection circuits or devices contributes significantly to the cost of lithium-ion batteries. The conventional Li-ion battery operates within voltage limits of 3.0-4.2 V per cell beyond which either performance deteriorates and / or safety incidents such as explosion or fire occurs - battery consultants  LiTech anode graphite fiber anode cathode safety explosion heat up Bon Yann Liaw Menahem Anderman Battery Consultant 

 The present conventional lithium-ion battery is an almost zero tolerance technology - hence the need for protection circuits. The higher the cell capacity requirement the more serious the problem. For high capacity multi-cell high voltage batteries, for example, 10 Ah, 200 V for hybrid electric vehicles, inherently safe battery chemistry is essential but cannot be met with conventional Li-Ion cells. Protection circuitry is usually designed into any lithium ion battery pack to prevent the cells in the battery from over charge and over discharge conditions and high currents or short circuits. Some circuitry goes further than the standard parameters and guards against high temperature charge and discharge, as well as high charge rates at low temperatures. The circuit usually consists of a protection IC, several FET devices, and sense resistors. These circuits add cost and space to the battery pack requirements and careful placement is required in physical layouts. The active circuits in lithium ion batteries continually draw power causing the battery to constantly discharge slowly, although usually in the micro amp current range.

 

This is an increasing issue in laptop batteries as laptops require more energy capacity to operate. The Li-Fiber battery does not overheat even in high energy capacity applications and requires no significant electronic protection circuit or heat management. It is also cheaper to manufacture than conventional Li-ion cells.
