ExxonMobil affiliate highlights lithium-ion battery technology for hybrids

peakoil.com -> greencarcongress.com :

ExxonMobil Chemical's affiliate in Japan, Tonen Chemical Corporation (TCC), will feature its microporous film lithium-ion battery (LIB) separators designed for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications at the 22nd International Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exposition (EVS 22).

TCC expects that its advanced performance separators will significantly improve LIB power and safety performance in HEV applications. The separators offer the potential to make HEV batteries lighter weight and smaller, thereby contributing to HEV system cost reduction and to improvements in design flexibility and durability.

TCC has more than 20 years of research and development in LIB separators and has supplied its proprietary separators for the world's first commercial rechargeable LIB [in 1991]. TCC has collaborated with ExxonMobil Chemical, one of the global polyolefins technology leaders, to develop a new generation of advanced performance LIB separators for HEVs.

- It is significant that ExxonMobil is getting into the game. That's a positive step for a change, compared to funding climate-change critics.
