Ternary lithium-ion Battery Technology

Ternary lithium-ion battery is a cathode material that uses either lithium nickel cobalt manganate or lithium nickel cobalt aluminate. The ratio of these elements determines the battery’s storage performance, charge-discharge efficiency, and stability, said lithium-ion battery, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of California, San Diego, most of the terrary lithium-ion batteries currently on the market have adopted a generally accepted and relatively stable ratio, so the security is relatively assured, but the performance is somewhat limited.

The Ternary lithium-ion battery features a higher energy density and voltage, so a battery pack of the same weight will have a larger capacity, allowing the car to run farther and faster. But its weakness lies in the stability is poor, if the internal short-circuit or positive materials meet water, there will be open flame. That’s why 18650 batteries are usually protected by a steel casing.

And because terary lithium ion materials have such a safety hazard, lithium-ion battery is trying to head off an accident. Due to the PYROLYTIC properties of Ternary lithium-ion materials, manufacturers will put a lot of effort into overcharge protection (OVP) , overdischarge protection (UVP) , overtemperature protection (OTP) and overcurrent protection (OCP) .

For now, the quest for a high-endurance battery isn’t going away anytime soon, which means that the tertiary lithium-ion battery may still be the top choice for many new-energy vehicles for a long time to come. And in recent years the trend can be seen, high nickel Ternary lithium-ion materials because of the greater than energy advantage, has become the object of more manufacturers to pursue.
