updates of Stabilized Lithium Metal Powder for LIB Anode Material
By adding the lithium metal powder into the lithium-ion battery anode material, the independent of lithium source can be provided and the energy density as well as the cycle life of the battery can be improved. The features of lithium metal power have been proven by the studies of Japan’s Shin-Etsu Chemical, South Korea’s SKC the Power the Tech etc.
There are two ways for adding lithium metal powder into the lithium anode. First one is during the pulping process of anode material; second one is coated on the prepared anode piece. However, due to ordinary lithium powder may ignite spontaneously in air and therefore cannot be sold as a commodity.
FMC Corporation''s stabilized lithium metal powder (SLMP) is stable in a dry environment, and thus can be safely stored and transported. SLMP has improved stability and storage life, and can be applied to the anode of the rechrgeable battery.
FMC Corporation was founded in 1883, is a diversified global chemical company with main business includes agricultural products, specialty chemicals and industrial chemicals. FMC is a major supplier of lithium carbonate in the world.
2012 China LIB Anode Materials Conference will be held in August 23-25 in Qingdao, Shandong Province. The expert from FMC will deliver a presentation on “updates of Stabilized Lithium Metal Powder for LIB Anode Material”.
