On May 22nd - 24th, the 13th China International Battery Fair (CIBF 2018), co-organized by China Industrial Association of Power Sources and Tianjin Institute of Power Sources, was held in Shenzhen. The biennial exhibition attracted more than 1250 domestic and foreign exhibitors, and received around 60,000 visitors.
During the three-day exhibition, Saint-Gobain ZirPro (Handan) showed complete milling media solution for Lithium battery industry. The high performance beads designed and produced by ZirPro, Zirmil Y, are recommended to grind the key materials in lithium battery: LFP and precursors, LTO, Si/C anode, CNTs, graphene, battery separator, etc. During the exhibition, ZirPro launched its Fine Zirmil Y with bead-size only 0.05mm and 0.1mm, which can grind the electronic materials to the Nano-scale, for example the Si/C anode materials in the battery to improve efficiently their energy density.
According to the statistics and analysis by China Industrial Association of Power Sources, the sales revenue of lithium ion batteries in China reached 158.9 billion yuan in 2017, increased 19.5% compared with 2016. Benefiting from the rapid development of xEV battery market and energy storage battery market, China has become the world’s largest xEV battery market for last three consecutive years, accounting for more than 50% of the global share. Therefore, market brings out some more requirements, such as higher safety, consistency, qualified ratio and lower manufacturing cost. Saint-Gobain ZirPro can provide customers with various grinding medias and professional technical support according to different applications, helping them to increase the capacity of energy storage while reduce the manufacturing cost.
