Under the accelerated global energy transition, the energy storage industry is becoming a strategic location for countries to seize the commanding heights of future energy. The strong support at the policy level has promoted the rapid transformation of energy storage from the "supporting role" of the power system to the "just needed infrastructure". The large-scale energy storage market, relying on economies of scale and system value, continues to lead the global energy storage track, leading to a surge in demand for high-performance and low-cost cathode materials. At this critical juncture, LBM has launched a strong attack and officially released the new large storage dedicated positive electrode material S406 to the world.
With the continuous increase in the global installed capacity of renewable energy, energy storage systems have become increasingly important as the core link for stabilizing power supply and improving energy utilization efficiency. After China cancelled the mandatory allocation and storage policy for new energy projects, it guided the market through innovative mechanisms, stimulated the endogenous driving force of the energy storage industry, and promoted the industry from policy driven to market driven new stage. The explosive growth of the large-scale energy storage market is driven by the increasing penetration rate of renewable energy, the growing demand for flexibility in the power system, and the decreasing cost of energy storage.
In the application scenario of large-scale energy storage, the performance and cost of positive electrode materials directly affect the economy and competitiveness of energy storage systems. Industry consensus indicates that large storage positive electrode materials need to achieve the lowest cost per kilowatt hour throughout their entire lifecycle, requiring materials to possess characteristics such as low cost, long lifespan, high energy efficiency, and low risk cost. To overcome this challenge, the LBM R&D team devoted themselves to research and successfully launched the S406 large storage dedicated positive electrode material. This material has achieved multiple innovations in formula design, process optimization, and performance improvement, providing a high-quality choice for the large storage market that combines economy and high performance.
The S406 positive electrode material adopts particle size orientation control and low doping technology, strictly controls raw material selection and process technology, and adopts a lower cost one firing process to achieve higher energy efficiency, longer circulation, and safer products while also considering economic benefits. Its powder compaction density meets the requirements of fourth generation lithium iron phosphate, with 0.5P energy efficiency reaching over 94.5% and 1C-3.2V platform accounting for up to 93%. In addition, S406 also has excellent magnification performance, which can be adapted to diversified large storage application scenarios.
With the further expansion of the large storage market and the accelerated release of demand for 500+or even larger capacity battery cells, energy storage systems will play a greater role in the power system. The release of LBMS406 large storage dedicated cathode material will have a profound impact on the global energy storage industry. Its low-cost and high-performance characteristics will effectively reduce the construction and operation costs of large storage systems, accelerate the large-scale development of the large storage market, and effectively promote the achievement of global energy transformation goals.
