The origin of lithium-ion batteries

When it comes to the origin of lithium-ion batteries (or, Li-ion batteries), we must mention the first rechargeable Li-ion batteries introduced by ExxonMobil in the 1970s, but the ingredients used at that time were unstable and there existed risks of use; therefore, those batteries were not truly commercialized. Until 1980, John B. Goodenough, an American solid-state physicist, discovered a new material called lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) that can be used as a component for the battery's positive electrode, besides, quite stable and efficient. Undoubtedly, this discovery was not just a great leap forward for the development of Li-ion batteries, but also a huge breakthrough for human technology! It led to the birth of the world's first commercial Li-ion battery, which opened up a new generation of consumer electronics!

A professional manufacturer of customized lithium-ion battery electrolytes

Let us get back to nowadays, the 21st century, Li-ion batteries have long been popularized for many years. As a professional chemical manufacturer, HOPAX Fine Chemicals Division has developed a series of Li-ion battery additives since 2008 and obtained a number of invention patents. In recent years, in response to market demand, HOPAX has begun to design and develop Li-ion battery electrolyte formulations with its patented battery additives. Its expert team can provide customized electrolyte formulations to meet the requirements of prolonged cycle life, tolerance in high voltage/temperature differences, etc., by taking into account the industries the clients belong to. Furthermore, to provide more comprehensive services, HOPAX has built a pilot factory in its DaFa Plant located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for the manufacture of customized electrolytes or formulation modifications according to the customers’ product properties, material characteristics, applications, etc. And, for the purpose of ease-of-use in different scales of applications, HOPAX also offers several packaging options for its electrolyte products. Last but not least, all information on electrolyte designs, production details, etc., provided by customers will be absolutely kept confidential! HOPAX is right the best partner that you can trust the manufacture of your Li-ion battery electrolyte to!
