Top-Class Volume-Specific Capacity: High-Capacity Anode Materials for Secondary Batteries

When using tin sulfide as the negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries, the theoretical capacity of tin sulfide is 4.7 times that of graphite by volume and 2.1 times that of graphite by mass. In terms of actual discharge capacity by volume, our tin sulfide is a high-capacity negative electrode material on par with silicon-based negative electrode materials. It has also been reported to excel in fast charge and discharge performance. Additionally, since the elements that make up tin sulfide are sulfur and tin, which are abundant in nature, cost reduction during mass production is expected. This tin sulfide powder is a uniform mixture created by adding acetylene black, a conductive additive, to our developed tin sulfide dispersion with excellent dispersibility. Furthermore, changes in particle size, type of additives, and amount of additives can also be considered for this tin sulfide powder. Please feel free to contact us!

《トップクラスの体積当たり容量》 二次電池負極向け高容量負極材料

当社は本硫化スズの微細化プロセスを新たに開発することにより、高い分散性を持った硫化スズ粒子の開発に成功しました。水を溶媒として用いた5wt%硫化スズ分散液を例にあげると、流体力学的直径は256.8nmのナノ粒子を有し、透過率は0.04%、ゼータ電位－44mVと高い分散性を示しています。17時間の沈殿テストにおいても、流体力学的直径1086.6nmを有する5wt%硫化スズ分散液の比較例が17時間後沈殿しているのに対し、本5wt%硫化スズ分散液は17時間後も分散状態を維持することが実証されました。 主な使用用途としては二次電池の負極材を想定しています。硫化スズをLIBの負極に使用した場合、硫化スズの理論容量は体積あたりで黒鉛の4.7倍、質量あたりで黒鉛の2.1倍となります。体積あたりの実放電容量においては、当社の硫化スズはシリコン系負極材に並ぶ高容量負極材です。かつ、高速充放電性能に優れていることも報告されています。また、硫化スズを構成する元素は硫黄と錫であることから自然界に豊富に存在し、量産時のコストダウンが期待されます。お気軽にお問合せ下さい！

The time for celebration has come! The new production hall has started operations! While finishing work continues in other parts of the building, metal shavings are already being produced in the first machining center. Last Friday afternoon, employees and their families, along with companies involved in the construction, gathered to celebrate the achievements so far. Cold drinks, hot barbecue, and an ice cream stand were provided. During the celebration, many employees had the opportunity to tour the entire new building for the first time. Visitors were introduced to the new machines and improved logistics through guided tours of the production area. The new training room, the training center on the upper floor, and the latest conference room for customers were also unveiled. With this new building, Volkmann GmbH has secured an additional 4,500 square meters of production space. This expansion was very important, as the existing hall had already reached its limits due to the company's ongoing growth and increased production volume.

▶Issue: Before further processing the powder in the next stage (such as packaging machines), it is necessary to inspect for the presence of metal foreign objects using a metal detector. To achieve high sensitivity, the powder needs to be inspected through free fall, but due to low ceiling height and operational inconvenience, it is not possible to install the metal detector in the next stage. ▶Solution: The CEIA metal detector will be installed under a Volkmann vacuum conveyor and on a Volkmann mobile lift. The height-adjustable lift will allow the product discharge outlet of the metal detector to be adjusted to the appropriate height for the mobile container. Additionally, the vacuum conveyor can be lowered to a height that allows the mobile lift to pass through doors. The powder will be transported, for example, from an IBC container to the mobile lift and then to the metal detector via vacuum transfer. Metal foreign objects will be sorted and collected in a separate bottle. The inspected powder will be collected in a mobile container. Another vacuum conveyor is installed for the next stage, such as the packaging machine, from which the powder will be drawn from this container. Inspection and separation of metal parts can be conducted very close to the next stage, and it is also possible in more distant production areas.

The video shows that there is a tank at the bottom of the vacuum conveyor, and steam is constantly being released (in a simulated manner). If no measures are taken, the steam will enter the inside of the vacuum conveyor, condense into water droplets, and cause powder adhesion. Both our company and our customers have been troubled by such installations. This time, with the special module jointly developed with Minato Engineering Co., Ltd., we have succeeded in blocking the rising steam. From around the middle of the video, you can see that this function is turned on. You should be able to understand that the steam that was previously rising has disappeared. As a result, it has become possible to install equipment in a steam atmosphere, which was previously difficult to do, with peace of mind.
