“The anode material of ordinary lithium-ion batteries is graphite. When short-circuited, the internal current is relatively large, which may cause burning and explosion. The negative electrode material of the SLB battery uses lithium titanate. Even if there is a short circuit inside the battery, the surface of the lithium titanate material will increase in impedance and only a small amount of current will pass, so instability will not occur.
“
As a world-renowned capacitor company, Nichicon brought us a new product this time: small lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. It is a product whose power density and energy density tend to fall within the range of EDLC (supercapacitor) and lithium ion secondary batteries. The energy density under the same volume is better than that of super Capacitors. In the same volume, the power density, the use temperature range, and the number of cycles are superior to ordinary lithium-ion batteries, and will not be burned or exploded like lithium-ion batteries.
The anode material of ordinary lithium-ion batteries is graphite. When short-circuited, the internal current is relatively large, which may cause burning and explosion. The negative electrode material of the SLB battery uses lithium titanate. Even if there is a short circuit inside the battery, the surface of the lithium titanate material will increase in impedance and only a small amount of current will pass, so instability will not occur. When the battery undergoes high-speed charging, low temperature, and long-term cycling, ordinary lithium-ion batteries may have lithium ions precipitated, causing sparks or burning of the carbon negative electrode, but SLB batteries do not.
Features:
1. Long life. The SLB battery has been charged and discharged more than 25,000 times in a cycle, and the capacity can still be maintained above 80%. Different from the previous lithium-ion batteries, the capacity will be very low after hundreds or thousands of charging and discharging times, and the cyclic charge-discharge characteristics are much better than lithium-ion batteries.
2. Support rapid charging and discharging. The average charging speed of ordinary lithium-ion batteries is about 1C (charge and discharge once in 60 minutes), while the SLB battery can achieve a charging speed of up to 20C (charge and discharge once in 3 minutes), and discharge can also reach 20C. In a nutshell, it can charge 80% of the power in 3 minutes, or it can discharge about 90% of the full capacity in 3 minutes.
3. Support low current charging. For example, vibration power generation provides a very small 5 microampere current, and can also charge SLB batteries.
4. Low temperature characteristics. Ordinary lithium-ion batteries may not work at minus 20 degrees or the electrolyte can’t discharge, while SLB batteries can still discharge at minus 30 degrees, which has certain advantages compared to lithium-ion batteries at low temperatures.
5. Security. Passed 6 tests: crush, nail puncture, blunt needle test, external short circuit, overcharge, forced discharge, there was no rupture or fire, and it passed UL1642 and IEC certification.
At present, Nichicon has launched 5 SLB series of small lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Two of them will be mass-produced in April 2022.
Target market and IoT application solutions
The target market of SLB batteries is mainly for smaller, portable or wearable products, similar to Electronic pens, power tools, wireless headsets, electronic cigarettes, and so on.
Samsung mobile phones (Galaxy Note 10/Galaxy Note 20 series) are equipped with the smallest 3×7 SLB product in the electronic pen (S Pen). Originally, this pen contained an EDLC (Super Capacitor). After Nichicon’s recommendation, Samsung’s current electronic pens are all equipped with SLB products.
The main advantage of changing from EDLC to SLB is that the standby time will be longer. Because under the same volume, the capacity of SLB will be about 10 times larger than that of EDLC, and its discharge capacity can also allow the pen to achieve more functional expansion and solve the problem of increased power consumption due to the addition of new functions.
The modem on the Internet of Things specializes in processing small-capacity data. In order to reduce communication costs, the SLB series battery is used as a backup power source on the substrate. Even if the main power supply is cut off, it can communicate in real time through the power supply of the SLB.
sensor equipment for environmental monitoring “RICOH EH Environmental Sensor D201/D202”. The SLB series battery is small in size and can be placed anywhere in the warehouse. It can be used to monitor the cold storage environment, high temperature and high humidity environment, and can be charged by the light of the warehouse, which truly eliminates the need for wiring and maintenance.
In terms of the Internet of Things, there are many devices similar to Ricoh environmental sensors in smart homes, disaster prevention, smart buildings, and smart agriculture. This is also an area where SLB has more development directions.
In the bridge monitoring system, the SLB battery also has a good application scheme. When there is a car driving on the bridge, it will vibrate, and the energy generated by the vibration can be charged. The SLB is used to support low-current charging, and then the SLB is used to discharge, monitor the bridge, and realize early warning or alarm.
Nichicon also has many solutions to charge SLB batteries with solar panels. At the same time, Nichicon has also joined the Thin-Film Solar Cell Research Consortium to study better solar panels and collect solar resources to make these low-cost and light-weight solar cells. High-quality and flexible thin-film solar cells are expected to be used in various fields.
For example, the use of solar panels for charging, no need to manually replace the battery, to achieve the “semi-permanent” characteristics, in the maintenance-free disaster prevention system for monitoring the water level of dams and rivers, greatly reducing the workload of manual installation, and successfully reducing the water level gauge It can also be equipped with API to link to the disaster management system.
In this electronic tag scheme, it is to use the chip of Ricoh to achieve a “semi-permanent” effect through solar energy. Electronic tags in supermarkets used to be button batteries. If the battery is dead, it would be a waste of human resources to replace it manually. With this set of solutions, maintenance-free operation can be achieved, and the application can also be used to manage and update Display information of multiple electronic shelf labels at the same time.
The internal circuit diagram of the electronic label: convert the solar voltage into a voltage (2.8 volts) that can charge the SLB. After the SLB is charged, it is converted into the voltage (2.6 volts) required by the electronic label through the SLB chip.
In addition to solar energy, the SLB battery can also be charged through microwaves, without a specific angle, and it can even provide charging for moving objects, and realize the mutual communication of power and data on a single chip. Ultra-long-distance power transmission is about 20 times more efficient than traditional microwave power transmission, and it can support up to 20 meters.
SLB series batteries have many practical solutions in practical applications, such as installing environmental sensors in offices and server rooms to collect environmental data such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide values. Through wireless charging, there is no need for wiring and no damage to the space landscape, making the layout more accommodating, and easily achieving the effect of maintenance-free and replacement-free.
New product, new upgrade
During CEATEC 2021 this year, Nichicon demonstrated the latest conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors and aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a product that Nichicon began to market in 2015 and 2016.Compared with aluminum non-solid electrolytic capacitors, it has excellent ESR performance in the high frequency field.
The temperature changes have stable ESR performance. Because it contains electrolyte inside, it has the function of repairing oxide film and can maintain stable electrical performance.
Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly used in automotive electronics. The GYA series, GYB series, GYC series, and GYD series exhibited this time can be used in environments of 125°C, 105°C, 135°C, and 150°C, respectively. Among them, the expanded voltage of the GYA series has expanded from the previously unavailable 80 volts to a withstand voltage of 80 volts, and can guarantee a large size, while the GYE is a newly launched series, which has an improved capacity relative to the GYA series.
In terms of usage, it covers almost all automotive applications, vehicle: EPS, headlights, EWP (electronic water pump), EOP (electronic oil pump), air suspension, clutch, air conditioner, etc.; non-vehicle: 4K TV, vacuum cleaner, communication equipment, Medical equipment etc.
In terms of aluminum electrolytic capacitor products, there are two types of chip: UBH series and UYA series; there are two types of horn substrate terminal types: LGC series and LHT series.
The UBH series can achieve a two-fold increase in capacity and a life span of 1.5 to 2 times compared with the previous product (UBC series) under the same volume and comparable capacity. It is a very cost-effective product. Mainly used for automotive engine ECU and server power supply. The UYA series uses a low-volatility electrolyte, optimizes the internal specifications and structure, and achieves a longer service life compared with the previous product (UCZ series), and expands the 63V-100V product style that has not been in the UUE series. With high withstand voltage and high reliability, it is mainly used in 5G base stations.
Compared with the previous LGX series, the newly launched LGC series uses high-rate electrode foils to achieve miniaturization, and uses high-voltage electrolytic paper to reduce the thickness of the electrolytic paper to achieve high capacity. Mainly used in server power supply, switching power supply and other fields.
The LHT series is a miniaturized product for the previous LGN series. It can operate normally and stably at -40°C to +125°C, with an overall temperature difference span of 165°C, and is mainly used in 5G and other communication equipment or areas that require high temperatures.
Nichicon’s capacitors are currently divided into three categories:
1. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use electrolyte as electrolyte;
2. Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the electrolyte is electrolyte and conductive polymer;
3. Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitors use conductive polymer as electrolyte.
In terms of technology development, it is mainly divided into three parts:
1. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor corresponding to abnormal voltage technology. In the past, it can be guaranteed to work at a normal temperature of 15-35°C. Now, the maximum operating temperature can reach 105°C. For the normal temperature range (15-35℃), the applied voltage can reach the rated voltage +100V.
2. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors for high voltage. Through its low temperature characteristics, the capacitance change rate, impedance ratio and ESR at 120Hz have been greatly improved.
3. It can handle 800V high voltage value. Using a new type of electrolyte, it can withstand a voltage of 800V or higher in a high temperature environment of 105°C.
Made in China of film capacitors
On February 14, 2011, Nichicon established Nichicon Electronics (Suqian) Co., Ltd. in Suqian, China, which mainly produces conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors and automotive film capacitors.
Film capacitors are an important part of electric vehicles, high-voltage vehicles and PHV motor drive inverters. Due to the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the demand for film capacitors is increasing. The sales of Nichicon film capacitors are also increasing day by day, from 2020 to 2021 almost doubled.
In the past, Nichicon’s film capacitors could only be produced at the Kusatsu plant in Japan. Because the development of electric vehicles in China and overseas markets is advancing year by year, according to market demand, new equipment has been introduced at the Suqian plant and new production lines have been developed to produce film capacitors. At present, the formal mass production has not yet started at the Suqian plant, and I believe this day will come soon.
Film capacitor production line for EV vehicles

Nichicon is divided into two parts: “Capacitor Business Division” and “NECST Business Division” (Nichicon Energy Control System Technology). The Capacitor Business Division is mainly engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of aluminum electrolytic capacitors and film capacitors. The NECST Business Division is mainly engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of circuit products, including household power storage systems, V2H (Vehiche to Home), fast chargers, public and industrial power storage systems, medical power supplies, and power supplies for business machines.
Among them, energy, environment, medical equipment, automobile and vehicle-related equipment, household appliances, industrial frequency conversion equipment, and information communication equipment are the four important markets for Nichicon.
The main advantages of Nichicon from material to finished product development and production are:
Whether it is to make aluminum electrolytic capacitors, film capacitors, or related circuit products, we will stabilize supply from the development of raw materials, control reasonable and stable prices, stable delivery dates and stable quality to satisfy customers, and aim at customer satisfaction NO.1 .
As a leader in the aluminum electrolytic capacitor industry, with dielectric oxide film technology, corrosion technology, electrolyte technology, and simulation analysis technology, it has maintained one of the best standards in the industry. At the same time, a wide variety of product lineups are assembled, and different capacitors can be provided according to customer needs.
In the development and production of film capacitors, through the establishment of the company’s internal film production system, product development is accelerated, material costs are reduced, and stable supply is achieved. In terms of safety, a unique deposition mode has been developed to maximize the safety of SH (self-healing) film capacitors. Coupled with miniaturization and weight reduction design, simulation analysis (optimized simulation provides low-cost optimized products) to control the high quality and cost-effective products.
To ensure that a product can be produced in at least two factories, even if it encounters some unavoidable natural disasters, it can also ensure that customers have products and continuous lines. This is Nichicon’s overall production and supply guarantee mechanism on a global scale.
Nichicon has 10 factories for raw materials and final products in Japan. In addition, there are 3 overseas factories in Suqian, Wuxi, and Malaysia to jointly deploy Nichicon’s global service supply strategy.
