Application case 1: less addition to electrode binder and better rate capability;
Customer: a digital battery manufacturer
Materials needed: anode binder
Pain points: CMC addition was 1.6% and SBR addition was 2.0%; high battery resistance and unsatisfactory rate capability;
Product: AWG1090
Effects: based on 1.5% CMC addition and 1.5% SBR addition, the product's battery resistance and rate capability are satisfactory compared with prior products;
Application case 2: better electrode bonding and no worries about slitting, rolling or shedding;
Customer: a digital battery manufacturer
Materials needed: anode binder
Pain points: serious slitting, rolling and shedding using a low-end binder (SBR addition: 1.8%);
Product:AWG101
Effects: the electrode with 1.3% SBR addition had satisfactory bonding performance, indicating no slitting, rolling or shedding, and battery resistance was reduced 15%.
Application case 3: substitute for imported materials, 50% lower binder material cost;
Customer: a power battery manufacturer
Materials needed:anode binder
Pain points: an expensive imported binder caused high cost pressure and risk of supply suspension;
Product:AWG101
Effects: given the same proportioning and technical parameters and constant electrode slurry performance, electrode bonding, and battery performance, our product substituted for the previous imported product in all respects but resulted in 50% lower cost for binder materials.
Application case 4: higher rate capability and better adhesion in the interface between the copper foil and active layer;
Customer: a digital battery manufacturer
Materials needed: carbon coated copper foil
Pain point: anodes made from copper foil had unsatisfactory high rate performance and poor adhesion in the interface between the anode active layer and copper foilin the fully charged state;
Product: carbon coated copper foils in various specifications
Effects: 0.1% lower SBR content, up-to-standard rate performance, qualified adhesion in the interface between the anode active layer and copper foil in fully charged state, no shedding or stripping, and slightly better cycle performance;
Application case 5: better cathode slurry stability;
Customer: a digital battery manufacturer
Materials needed: cathode additive DCS308
Pain points: instability in the cathode slurry, unstable viscosity in storage, and poor consistency in the coating density;
Product: cathode additive DCS308
Effects: DC-S308 addition: 0.08%; 2% higher solid content compared with materials in the same viscosity range. The slurry has minor viscosity variation but better consistency in the coating density after standing for 12h.
Application case 6:
Customer: a well-known power battery manufacturer
Materials needed: binder for ceramic separator
Pain points: imported materials from Japan created high material cost and risk of supply suspension;
Product: SWA610
Effects: the product compares evenly with the materials imported from Japan for ceramic separator preparation regarding slurry, coating, and separator performance, and hence can substitute for the other materials in all respects at much lower cost.
Application case 7:
Customer: a digital battery manufacturer (wearable Bluetooth headset batteries)
Materials needed: high-performance anodes/cathodes for lithium ion batteries
Pain points: inadequate capacity and fast charge performance, unsatisfactory cycle performance, and poor market competitiveness;
Product: high-performance anodes/cathodes for lithium ion batteries
Effects: increase in the 1254 battery production capacity from 58-61mAh to 65-68mAh. 3C fast charging; 500-cycle capacity over 85%.
