德国启动锂电池ZellkoBatt项目

据今日油价网站3月23日消息 德国太阳能和氢研究中心（ZSW）的研究人员启动了ZellkoBatt项目，该项目旨在优化用于汽车应用的大尺寸锂离子电池，同时降低组件和制造工艺的成本。

在一份新闻稿中，科学家们表示，他们将把研究成果应用到ZSW的中试生产线上。该研究实验室自2014年以来一直在类似工厂的条件下运行，由此产生的机器和工艺将被提升至大规模生产。

该想法是在国内工厂的工作原型和工业大规模制造之间建立桥梁。

ZSW蓄电池研究主管Margret Wohlfahrt-Mehrens在一份声明中说：“电动汽车将显著改变汽车供应商行业。我们必须尽我们所能，快速跟踪电池系统的开发和生产，使德国成为一个经得起未来考验的汽车制造国。通过ZellkoBatt项目，我们正在扩展我们的技术基础设施，以加快创新电池向工业大规模制造的转移。”

据Wohlfahrt-Mehrens称，该项目将帮助德国超越试点生产线和小型生产线，建立生产能力，满足不断增长的电池需求，尤其是考虑到政府已制定了到2030年将电动车数量增加到1000万辆的目标。

Germany's Big Plans For Lithium Battery Dominance

Researchers from Germany’s Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg, known by its initials ZSW, just launched the ZellkoBatt, a project aimed at optimizing large-format lithium-ion cells for automotive applications, while cutting the costs of components as well as manufacturing processes.

In a press release, the scientists said they will apply the results of their efforts to ZSW’s pilot production line, a research lab that has been up and running since 2014 under factory-like conditions. The resultant machines and processes will then be ramped up for mass manufacturing.

The idea is to build bridges between working prototypes and industrial mass manufacturing in domestic factories.

“Electric mobility is going to significantly change the automotive supplier industry,” Margret Wohlfahrt-Mehrens, who heads accumulator research at ZSW, said in a statement. “We have to do everything in our power to fast-track the development and production of battery systems to future-proof Germany as an auto-making nation. With the ZellkoBatt project, we are extending our technological infrastructure to accelerate the transfer of innovative battery cells to industrial mass manufacturing.”

According to Wohlfahrt-Mehrens, the project should help the country move beyond pilot manufacturing lines and small production runs, establish manufacturing capacity and meet the growing demand for batteries, particularly taking into account that the government has set the goal of increasing the electric vehicle count to up to 10 million by 2030.
