Our electrolyte can identify and locate if there is any micro-damage on the surface of the electrode SEI layer and precisely repair it. This reduces the consumption of electrolyte and active lithium which would traditionally be consumed during repair of the SEI layer. This greatly enhances cycle life while ensuring the highest standards of safety.

Highly isotropic graphite alleviates stress on the SEI film caused by lithium expansion. This reduces irreversible lithium loss and side reactions, enabling Hithium cells to have an ultra-long cycle life.

By optimally designing the cathode materials, certain cathode particles are able to continuously and progessivley release lithium ions over time, precisely matching lithium consumption and leading to enhanced cycling life by ensuring lithium ions are always in abundant supply.

For cathode materials, we have employed multi-element doping technology to enhance both the dynamics and structural stability of large cells, significantly improving cycle life, impedance, and safety performance. For anode materials, graphite with improved surface charachteristics is used to improve the thermal efficiency and enhance safety.

We use 3D channels to achieve a smooth and unrestricted gas flow pathway within the cell. Combining this with improved vent technology allows cell pressure buildups to quickly be controlled.

The MIC cell is the world's first kAh level ESS cell and benefits from a design which gives a large capacity while also maintaining the highest levels of engineering consistency. Cell to cell OCV consistency has been improved to under 3% variation, leading to improved integrated system performance.

Our full-tab electrode stacking process fundamentally reduces the generation of potential particles which could lead to internal shorts and self discharge. High capacity batteries also offer better pressure distribution within the cell, leading to higher levels of safety.

By implementing advanced technologies such as full-tab electrode stacking, special separator coatings and vaccum formation of fixtures, the uneven stress caused by the traditional winding of electrode cores is eliminated. This results in a significant improvement in the stability of the SEI interface, leading to superior long term cycling consistency between cells.

Compared to the 314Ah battery, the cost per Wh of the MIC battery is reduced by 7.5%. Additionally, the balance of system (non cell components) costs for MIC System are reduced by up to 30%. High capacity cells also enhance system manufacturing efficiency and reduce investment in manufacturing equipment. By reducing costs and improving efficiencies across the four dimensions of cells, systems, manufacturing, and equipment investment, we are able to achieve 20% cost reduction for MIC Systems.

Hithium’s fourth-generation high-efficiency Lithium battery smart manufacturing production line includes new technologies such as MES, 5G, and artificial intelligence. The production line efficiency has been improved by 30% compared to the third generation, automation levels are increased by 26% and manufacturing costs reduced by 25%. We are able to build a superior quality product while improving manufacturing efficiency and cost competitiveness.

Hithium has established an ecological map that encompasses the entire value chain from R&D and production all the way through to battery recycling. This approach reduces our environmental impact and also helps to lower the cost of energy storage for our customers.
