Glossary: LIB
A Lithium Ion Battery is an electrochemical device that stores/delivers electrical energy through a reversible intercalation reaction in which Li+ ions are shuttled between two dissimilar electrode materials separated by the Li+ ion conducting electrolyte solution.
China Int. Battery Fair (CIBF) concluded on 29 April 2024 in the vibrant city of Chongqing, turning the spotlight on the latest developments in battery technology.
Empowering innovation: Elevate LIB intelligent manufacturing to the next level
At the exhibition, Hymson delivered six extraordinary keynote speeches, aiming to address the pain points in LIB manufacturing, such as low efficiency, high costs, low yield rates, low capacity, poor performance at low temperatures, and thermal runaway. From technological iteration, application innovation to cultivation of high-quality capacity, Hymson presented new approaches to intelligent manufacturing to drive breakthroughs in the LIB industry.
