Toyocolor Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Toyo Ink Group, announced that its LIOACCUM ONESHOT WANISU series of electrode materials for lithium batteries has been adopted in Toyota Motor Corporation’s new Prius hybrid vehicle, which was launched to the Japanese market on Dec. 9, 2015.
The LIOACCUM ONESHOT WANISU, based on Toyocolor’s expertise in dispersion and ink processing technology, is a high performance, liquid-type dispersion used for processing lithium-ion battery electrodes. A lithium battery electrode is a composite formed by dispersing and mixing an electrode active material and ONESHOT WANISU into the desired concentration.
Compared with conventional manufacturing methods, ONESHOT WANISU dispersions make it possible to produce a high-grade, stable battery electrode by forming a homogeneous coating on the electrode surface with reduced coagulation of carbon particles. In addition, a highly concentrated slurry can be achieved by simply mixing the ONESHOT WANISU dispersion – which is already in liquid form – with the active materials, thus reducing the slurry production time and the curing time required for the electrode coating process.
ONESHOT WANISU dispersions are produced at a newly built plant on the premises of Toyocolor’s manufacturing facility in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Toyocolor has already begun supplying ONESHOT WANISU to Primearth EV Energy Co., Ltd., the battery manufacturer for Toyota hybrids.
“ONESHOT WANISU was adopted by Toyota with excellent results,” said Hironori Sakai, president of Toyocolor. “This dispersion’s superior physical properties make it possible for battery manufacturers to realize significant savings in overall battery processing costs, increased production capacity as well as reduced capital investment spending. We are happy to be able to bring our advanced materials technology to the fourth-generation Prius model and help power this eco-friendly vehicle toward a more sustainable future.“
