Although represented by the electric car of new energy vehicles, the current all countries in the world in the auto industry a new round of revolution. Level but in the present stage, the development of electric vehicles, in the final analysis of lithium battery technology breakthrough. It can be said that the lithium metal elements of the periodic table row third, decided the future of the electric car is "lithium" line, or "lithium" blind a cause.
　　At present, new energy vehicles used for power battery, lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese acid as the anode material, but its performance indicators such as, life was not enough to make the function of pure electric vehicles completely alternative fuel cars all. It is understood that the current battery energy density is only about 100 Wh, cost in 3-5 yuan/Wh, small volume, high cost, weight, far cannot adapt to the requirement of the electric car industrialization and commercialization. Only when the battery energy density reaches more than 500 wh, pure electric vehicles driving range can be comparable to conventional cars. To achieve this technology, still need to develop new battery materials.
　　According to relevant personage, the electric car market will be as the national promotion 200000 electric cars in the next five years planning the implementation of, drive the 10000 tons - 16000 tons of lithium carbonate demand, market potential is tremendous. As the ministry recently issued for lead-acid battery power of heavy metal pollution control measures, will make the current domestic more than 60% of the lead-acid battery capacity affected, means the lead-acid batteries for at least half of the market space will be replaced by lithium batteries.
　　To automotive lithium-ion batteries have explosive growth expectations, lithium industry, after a great impact on the early recovery in the orbit of rational. Recently, the two big international LiYe FMC Chemetall in Germany and the United States announced on July 1, an increase in the price of lithium products. With mature progress of new energy vehicles, a very lithium is a world of competing for the brewing.
　　According to the existing planning, to around 2015, the battery energy density can only be reached 150 Wh, cost down to 2 yuan/Wh; Around 2020, the battery energy density but also can achieve 250 Wh, cost is 1.5 yuan/Wh. At this point, the pure electric vehicles is not comparable to conventional cars.
