Ukwakha amabhethri: Kungani i-lithium nokuthi kungani i-lithium hydroxide?

Researth & ukutholwa

Kubukeka njenge-lithium ne-lithium hydroxides lapha ukuhlala, ngoba manje: Naphezu kocwaningo olunzulu ngezinto ezihlukile, akukho lutho olusezingeni eliphansi lobuchwepheshe bebhethri lanamuhla.

Bobabili i-Lithium Hydroxide (Lioh) ne-Lithium Carbonate (I-LICO3) ibilokhu ikhomba ezansi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule kanti nokushaja kwakamuva kwemakethe ngokuqinisekile akusithuthukisi isimo. Kodwa-ke, naphezu kocwaningo olunzulu kwezinye izinto zokwakha, akukho lutho oluseduze okungasetjenziswa i-lithium njengendawo yokwakha ubuchwepheshe bebhethri banamuhla eminyakeni embalwa ezayo. Njengoba sazi abakhiqizi bemininingwane yebhethri ye-lithiyum ehlukahlukene, uDeveli ulele ngokuningiliziwe futhi yilapho isipiliyoni sitholwe kancane kancane ukukhulisa amandla wamandla, ikhwalithi nokuphepha kwamaseli.

Ngezimoto ezintsha zikagesi (evs) ezethulwa ngezikhathi ezithile ezingesonto, imboni ifuna imithombo ethembekile nobuchwepheshe. Kulabo abakhiqizi bezimoto akunangqondo okwenzekayo kuma-labs acwaninga. Badinga imikhiqizo lapha futhi manje.

I-shift kusuka ku-lithium carbonate to lithium hydroxide

Kuze kube yilapho muva nje i-lithium Carbonate bekulokhu kugxilwe kubakhiqizi abaningi amabhethri e-eV, ngoba imiklamo yebhethri ekhona icele ama-Cathode esebenzisa lezi zinto eziluhlaza. Kodwa-ke, lokhu sekuzoshintsha. I-Lithium Hydroxide futhi iyinto ebalulekile eluhlaza ekwenziweni kwamabhethri tathade, kepha kufushane kakhulu kune-lithium carbonate njengamanje. Ngenkathi kungumkhiqizo we-niche we-lithium carbonate, isetshenziswa futhi ngabakhiqizi bebhethri abakhulu, abancintisana nomkhakha wezimboni wezinto zokuthambisa kwezimboni zezinto ezibonakalayo eziluhlaza. Kanjalo, izimpahla zeLithium Hydroxide ngemuva kwalokho kulindeleke ukuba zibe zingezo.

Izinzuzo ezibalulekile ze-Lithium Hydroxide Battery Battery maqondana namanye amakhemikhali amakhemikhali zifaka phakathi amandla angcono kagesi (umthamo webhethri omningi), umjikelezo wempilo ende nezici zokuphepha ezithuthukisiwe.

Ngalesi sizathu, isidingo esivela embonini yebhethri evuselelwa kabusha sikhombise ukukhula okuqinile kuwo wonke ama-2010s, ngokusetshenziswa okwandayo kwamabhethri amakhulu we-lithium-ion ezicelo zezimoto. Ngo-2019, amabhethri aqashelwa kabusha abhalwe ngo-54% wesidingo se-lithium esiphelele, cishe ngokuphelele esuka kubuchwepheshe bebhethri le-Li-Ion. Yize ukukhuphuka okusheshayo kwe-hybrid kanye nokuthengisa izimoto zikagesi kuqondise ukunaka kwezidingo zamakhompiyutha e-lithium, ukuncishiswa komhlaba okubangelwa i-evs ehlobene ne-lithium. Izimo zesikhathi eside ziyaqhubeka nokukhombisa ukukhula okuqinile kwe-lithium ukufunwa eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo, noma kunjalo, ngesidingo se-roskill ukubikezela ukudlula i-1.0mt LCE ngonyaka we-2027, ngokukhula okungaphezulu kuka-18% ngonyaka kuya ku-2030.

Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthambekela kokutshala imali eningi ekukhiqizeni i-lioh njengoba kuqhathaniswa ne-LICO3; Futhi yilapho umthombo we-lithium uqala khona: I-Spodumene Rock iguquguquke kakhulu ngokuya ngenqubo yokukhiqiza. Ivumela ukukhiqizwa okulinganiselwe kwe-lioh ngenkathi ukusetshenziswa kwe-lithium brine kuvame ukuholela nge-reco3 njengoba umlamuleli ekhiqiza i-lioh. Ngakho-ke, izindleko zokukhiqiza zeLioh ziphansi kakhulu ngeSpodumene njengomthombo esikhundleni se-brine. Kuyacaca ukuthi, ngenani eliphakeme le-lithium brine elitholakala emhlabeni, ekugcineni ubuchwepheshe obusha lenqubo kumele buthuthukiswe ukuze basebenzise kahle lo mthombo. Ngezinkampani ezahlukahlukene ziphenya izinqubo ezintsha ekugcineni sizobona lokhu kuza, kodwa okwamanje, iSpodumene ukubheja okuphephile.
