固態電池的專利監測

電池廠商是否做好轉換至固態電池的準備了?

鋰離子電池的開發受到汽車應用的推動。傳統的鋰離子電池主要缺點之一是使用可燃性的液體電解質,這在安全性上是有疑慮的。如果換成使用固態電極以及固態電解質的固態電池就能克服此問題。固態微電池雖然已經商品化,用於製造的材料以及製造方法要轉換成成本效益高的大電池尺寸是有困難的。固態電池的開發加速後,許多企業宣佈在2020～2025年之間實現商業化。因此會在所有的供應鏈級別(電解質,電極,電池,電池組,系統)展開密集的專利取得活動。參與固態電池開發的企業增加後,出現新設立的固態電池聯盟,獲得電動車/HEV製造商(TOYOTA,BMW,Volkswagen,雷諾/日產/三菱聯盟,現代自動車)的高度關注,固態電池將迎來新世代。從這個觀點看來,專利分析得以更深入瞭解固態電池相關的競爭狀況,可以預測變化,早期發現商機,領先頂尖技術發展並且瞭解競爭對手的策略,跟市場研究十分互補。

此服務讓您可以使用每月更新的Excel檔案,每季分析報告,並且能夠與分析師直接互動。在每月更新的Excel檔案中,包括新專利,專利過期／放棄,轉讓專利(重新轉讓,授權),專利訴訟／提出異議。專利分為供應鏈(電解質,電極,電池,電池組,系統),電解質種類(聚合物,無機／聚合物),無機電解質材料(硫銀鍺礦,Thio-LISICON,硫化玻璃陶瓷,氧化物玻璃陶瓷,鈣鈦礦,抗鈣鈦礦,LiSICON,石榴石,NASICON等)。這個Excel專利數據庫讓您可以進行搜索,包括優先權日期,專利受讓人,權利要求,專利法律地位,技術領域。

How are battery players getting ready for the solid state revolution?

Li-ion battery developments are driven by automotive applications One of the major drawbacks of the conventional Li ion battery for this application is the use of flammable liquid electrolytes resulting in critical and major safety issues This could be overcome by replacing them with a solid state battery using solid electrodes and solid electrolytes.

Solid-state microbatteries are already commercially available, but the materials and methods used for their manufacture are extremely difficult to translate into bulk size battery manufacture on a cost effective basis Solid state battery developments are accelerating, and several companies are announcing their arrival on the market in 2020 2025 resulting in intensive patenting activity at all levels of the supply chain ( electrode, cell, pack and system).

With the growing number of players involved in solid state battery development, the variety of newly established solid state battery consortiums, and the strong interest of EV/HEV makers ( BMW, Volkswagen, Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance, Hyundai), the solid state battery is likely entering a new era In this context, patent analysis perfectly complements market research to offer a deep understanding of the competitive solid state battery related landscape, to anticipate changes, detect business opportunities early, get ahead of cutting edge technology developments, and understand competitors' strategies.

The Solid State Batteries patent monitoring service allows you to take advantage of a quarterly updated Excel file and benefit from both quarterly analysis reports and direct interaction with our analysts.

The up to date Excel files include new patents, expired/abandoned patents, patent transfers (re assignment, licensing) and patent litigation/opposition The patents are categorized by supply chain position ( electrode, cell, pack and system), electrolyte type ( inorganic/polymer, inorganic) and inorganic electrolyte materials ( Thio LISICON, Sulfide Glass Ceramic, Oxide Glass Ceramic, Perovskite, Anti perovskite, LISICON, Garnet, NASICON, etc This useful Excel patent database allows for multi criteria searches including priority date, patent assignees, claims, legal status of patents and technology segments.

The quarterly PDF reports provide the IP trends over the last three months, with a close look at the key IP players, newcomers, and key patented technologies.

Direct access to our analysts offers you on demand Q&A sessions and discussion regarding trends, analyses, specific patented technologies or a company's IP portfolio in the solid state battery field.
