Nuggets storage industry capital market

Thanks to new energy industries, energy storage industry is becoming the new choice of capital Nuggets. Recently, Foshan Electrical and Lighting Co., Ltd. to 160 million yuan to buy the Hefei High-tech Energy Power Co., Ltd., China Xuan 20% stake, entered the lithium industry. Previously, Jiangxi Special Electric Motor Co., Ltd. and Jiangxi lithium New Energy and Industrial Co., Ltd., Anyuan Bus Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Beijing Shenzhou New Energy Technology giant electricity Development Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement, the upstream and downstream industries will develop in the direction of lithium.

Insiders pointed out that in the active and passive case, the lithium battery manufacturer may be part of the exit of wind power, photovoltaic energy storage market. At the same time, "not to do small" flow battery technology research and development on the news of success, perhaps in large-capacity storage to get more opportunities. Signal indicates that a variety of different electrochemical techniques in the market, the choice tends to clear.

Li-ion battery electric vehicle industry lock

Capital inflows in the storage industry, a series of events, the most noteworthy is integrated into the flight, Sichuan Science and Technology Co., Ltd.. The company recently said, holding the fund-raising 1.02 billion yuan in aviation lithium battery (Luoyang) Co., Ltd., together with other sources of funds, will invest 1.7 billion yuan of new, used to develop lithium-ion battery market.

Related to this is that an industry source said the national grid investment enter a country scenery storage demonstration project, the total 18 MW of lithium iron phosphate energy storage system to suspend the tender, "the scale is too large lithium in the energy control is very complex, wind power, photovoltaic storage lose the significance of making the national grid projects do have to consider. "

"From the use of lithium batteries, the electric car industry will be much higher than wind power, photovoltaic industry, and this trend will remain for a long period of time." Investment adviser in the new energy industry researcher Li Sheng-mao that lithium production enterprises in the less profit margin obtained by the case, there may be all focused on electric vehicle battery market.

According to industry estimates, a pure electric vehicles require 40-50 kg of cathode materials and electrolyte, a single mobile phone battery consumption is about 10,000 times, only to produce 100 million electric cars lithium-ion batteries needed relevant materials on will be the world’s total demand of lithium battery materials several times. Therefore, the promotion of electric vehicles lithium-ion battery will drive the demand for materials showing explosive growth.

As the market is huge, the lithium battery industry barriers to entry are relatively low, and technical updates is in the intensive phase. For the current dominant position of enterprises, production and management in the future need to add a lot of money to meet the production capacity expansion and the need to maintain domestic technology leader.

"Considering the technical strength into volume production of advanced products take time, the short term, increase integration into the flight the aircraft on the domestic lithium battery industry will not bring a greater impact." Li Sheng-mao said, but integration into the flight The capital increase move to other investors play a certain role model, the lithium battery industry will help attract more investment.

This is expected for the lithium battery industry has a core technology for SMEs, which means bigger and stronger opportunities.

"The future belongs to the public electric vehicle products, close to the broad consumer market, while the frequency of battery replacement will be higher." Electronics Co., Ltd. Huizhou billion battery market to business manager, said Chen Min, the focus of the majority of lithium battery manufacturers or in the electric car market.

Into the large flow battery energy storage

Lithium battery to attend wind power, photovoltaic energy storage industry, the size of the market, there is a big reason is as rare metals lithium, heavy use of facing the problem of high cost. "Scale energy storage should require waste storage costs less than the cost of power resources." China New Energy Power and Energy Storage Committee Secretary-General who said the summer.

In contrast, longer life, lower cost of vanadium battery obvious advantages. "Vanadium battery technology matured, kilowatt-class products already in the industry of the production phase." Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics Professor Zhang Huamin introduced. Independently developed by his team of 2 kW vanadium battery durability demonstration evaluation system since July 6, 2007 demonstration run since the beginning, the cumulative run about 1,100 days, to achieve a full charge and discharge cycle nearly 7700 times.

"Japan’s Hokkaido vanadium battery charge and discharge demonstration system has 270 000 times." Zhang Huamin, said, in theory, vanadium battery life is not restricted.

That vanadium battery, I must mention Beijing Prudent Energy Technology Co., Ltd.. January 2009, established less than three years to spend $ 2.15 million general low-cost acquisition of the world’s leading enterprises in Canada vanadium battery VRB Power Company, a star of the power storage business.

Almost overnight, S & P to have a patented technology, research and development team, global engineering experience and customers, as well as from the business of only one step away of reliable products.

"We have a kW-class product has entered mass production, there is a megawatt-class products are in the commercial demonstration stage." Prudent Energy Chairman Yu Zhenhua said.

Both sides of the "take" the opportunity to

Although most of the lithium battery manufacturers choose electric car battery market, BYD and through the New Energy Co., Ltd. Zhuhai silver and a few other lithium battery manufacturers in the "not bad money" support, put "takes" two a market trend.

It is understood that BYD currently has two product storage power station, one is cabinet storage power plants, by about 1200 "iron battery" combination, can store 800 kwh of electricity, 4 hours can be filled , for a family of four uses about 8 months; the other is the larger size of the stationary energy storage power plants, currently only in BYD Electric Power Research Institute within the trial of a sample, not yet open to the public.

In contrast, this year it was built on the banks pass on the size of storage become more active. June 12, JETCO and Huaneng New Energy Industrial Co. Ltd., Guangdong Ming Yang Wind Power Industry Group Co., Ltd. signed a contract to implement and co-operation of a total 250 MW integrated power generation systems scenery storage projects.

"This project, the energy storage battery systems are used in the basic unit of our R & D for 2000 Ah lithium titanate battery energy storage." JETCO days of Noah, vice president, said despite the large capacity, but the size of lithium titanate small, their work can go to the lowest temperature of minus 40 ¡æ, able to adapt to the cold northern winter.

Days of Noah also said, the day and night for the Southern Power Grid price difference of $ 0.68-0.8 per silver through the Southern Power Grid has a 1-megawatt co-storage power plant demonstration project.

Development of new energy vehicles not only for food stamps do not pay

At the recent 2010 China’s auto market trends Forum Asia conference on information the city half a year, China Association of Automobile Manufacturers Executive Vice President and Secretary General Dong Yang said that in the new energy vehicle development level, China and the world’s advanced level of than there is a large gap. At the same time, he thinks that the traditional energy is very important vehicle. In addition, other energy-saving technologies should also be given due attention.

"I was fortunate to attend State Council meetings, leadership is very clear, leaders said, that two things are equally important: the traditional energy-saving and new energy automotive vehicle development. This thing, then I think we all know by now, so here to say, We are the world’s most advanced goal is to engage one million electric, but tell the truth, we are to maintain the amount of one million, not the annual output, even if it is annual, we 13 million, 15 million vehicles as long as we save 7.5%, we reached the one million the number of electric fuel-efficient. "

Dong Yang said, we think we should put all the energy-saving technology they use up, reduce fuel consumption, including hybrid technology. Because the hybrid technology if it can not rely on the infrastructure for the hybrid to see how? I think from a different perspective views are different, some people talk about hybrid it is burning oil, not fun, it’s not electric, completely changing the power source means , power source means, I think this is his talk on, but from another perspective, hybrid vehicles I can, you are to continue, you are refueling, do not charge your garage, or even stopped at the side of the road does not matter, It can give you the usual fuel-efficient, fuel-efficient way should be said that we all agree, the hybrid should not be ignored.

And some of the advanced technology easier, not much technical difficulty, and the costs are not many. Of pure electric vehicles, I think it is in auto power transformation inside the high ground, so it should be from a national perspective should be extended, or should national policy, now the world of pure electric vehicles for government support caused by the market by the size and market to make it public, materials, production processes, product performance process has a carrier.

If you think it is not yet the reality of the market immediately, do not support it, do not form the bulk it is always the laboratory samples, laboratory samples can not always be a market commodity, so there should be a market. And we also found that Toyota, I think it’s a good strategy, it is their own out of the world where conditions went as far as possible through our support, so that its technology is mature market experiments.

A variety of energy-saving route can not be less

Another is to not give up on fuel cells, fuel cells, recently has been about progress, such as one of the last obstacles to fuel cell, fuel cell needs to do real-time exchange of precious metals, and now some results indicate that the precious metal content can be greatly decreased, that fall into the exhaust pipe and a similar, if so, then you can eliminate this obstacle, of course, there are other obstacles.

For a variety of technologies to replace oil should support, including natural gas, including methanol, ethanol, dipotassium phosphate, including such technologies should be supported. For energy-saving new energy vehicles, especially the new energy automotive technology course, many departments, many people want to be able to find a mature way, a wildcard cure, what this issue is resolved, I think this being is not enough. The world’s car manufacturers organization have turned out a file, say from the government perspective, from a technical lines should be neutral at this stage, the actual is to allow you to explore, and different technologies have different benefits. Even now, some experts questioned said that with the case of coal-based electric car does not reduce carbon emissions, but I want to say it though diminished carbon, it also benefits fuel economy. Therefore, the benefits should be comprehensive variety of automotive development.

Promote small cars, small displacement, high efficiency, I think we drive too much, I recently returned from Italy, were relatively small family cars, small cars, when the steel is also small, less fuel, I think we Chinese such a big country, we want to support the mobility of the whole nation, should we have to do little. Of course, this matter so that consumers generally do not sacrifice, but the government’s policy should be guided.

On diesel oil. Diesel oil, the proportion of diesel from the current point of view, I think we are not a large-scale promotion of diesel cars, diesel critical shortage now, but if the changes in national fuel policy, that is not all rely on imported crude oil refining, oil imports a large number of I, oil, so diesel can also be developed, this depends on national policies and fuel oil policy changes.

We believe that the energy for electric vehicles or new vehicles would have a better development strategy. If there is a coordinated strategy for the whole society, the government has a large investment to develop. Our three decades of reform and opening up I think we have a successful experience, but this experience will be an obstacle with the bad is that we are to reform and opening up foreign customers money, really big customers, in addition to bombs and one satellite so that the outside the small, but I want to say, the light of new energy vehicle development does not give money to food stamps not, and must have a big investment, if it is positioned as a strategic emerging industries, and the world if we are to consider other powers cars, in particular, Japan, I think it’s best to go through first, Europe, Korea, the United States to compete, we must have and a considerable investment in people, and others I think we put about, together with our Chinese people are hardworking, brave, savings, we can do better, but a small investment, this will not do.

Lithium was the most popular in 2010

Lithium was the most popular stocks in four areas of concern

In 2010, China’s new energy automotive industry officially opened the curtain, national support policies from buses, taxis and other public services, greater capacity to expand to the private market consumption. In June, the private purchase of new energy vehicles, subsidies for pilot introduction of the policy opens the door to private consumption subsidies. The industry believes that the expansion of private consumption markets mean new energy automotive industry embarked on a rapid development of the "right track."

In this regard, the capital market is also an implicit benefit of new energy vehicles, or a listed company may continue to benefit from the market’s hot. New energy to the vehicle battery manufacturers, to the upper reaches of battery materials, the focus of the whole industry chain company you Changba me play, two bustling market performance. In the field of new energy vehicle, the battery share the highest cost, the added value that can be expected to produce the highest among the most popular areas of strong lithium.

Lithium battery will become mainstream

Compared with conventional cars, the new energy automotive industry chain based on the extension increases the battery, motor, electric control system components. Battery is new energy automotive industry chain in the most central part. Additional components in the new energy vehicles, the battery system costs accounted for the vast majority of new, value-added generated by this part have the highest expectations. According to estimates, battery electric vehicles in the cost structure of up to 60%.

Currently suitable as sources of new energy vehicle power battery are lead-acid batteries, nickel hydrogen batteries and lithium ion batteries, widely believed to lithium battery will become mainstream. Lithium-ion batteries are light weight, high specific energy and specific power, small size, long cycle life, no memory, self-discharge rate, temperature and many other advantages for a wide range, and has a large technical improvement and cost reduction of space, Therefore, the medium and long term, lithium battery will gradually achieve market nickel-metal hydride batteries to replace.

Investment in four major areas of lithium grasp

From a structural point of view, lithium-ion battery consists of four parts: the cathode material, anode material, electrolyte, separator and ultra-thin copper foil and other auxiliary materials. Which cathode material, electrolyte and separator is the core of the three materials, directly determine the battery safety performance, capacity, accounting for the cost of lithium-ion battery for more than 70%. The most commonly used cathode material for lithium batteries are lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, nickel oxide, lithium iron phosphate lithium ternary materials as well.

Fortune Securities analyst Mr Li believes that comparison, lithium iron phosphate cathode material is the best, it is the discharge power, low cost (about 18 million to 20 million / ton), fast charging and long cycle life ( 1000 times more), stability at high temperature under high heat environment. Currently, listed companies involved in the cathode material has CITIC Guoan (000,839, closing price of 11.43 yuan), Shanshangufen (600,884, closing price of 17.12 yuan), shopkeeper magnetism. Six chemicals (600470, closing price of 13.23 yuan) also recently announced its entry into the new field of energy, lithium iron phosphate is its goal.

Anode materials mainly in graphite, graphite fiber-based materials, production technology barriers low, stable supply upstream and downstream relationships is the key to competition in the industry, competition is relatively stable. China has a lot of companies engaged in the production of lithium anode material. Among them, China Baoan (000,009, closing price of 9.69 yuan) Shenzhen Barrett’s company not only has the industry’s maximum capacity, but also the industry standard-setter, leading the more obvious. Shanshan’s Shanghai Shanshan has 1200 tons of production capacity anode material.

Divide on the safety performance of lithium batteries have a great impact in the cost of lithium batteries represent about 25% of the composition ratio of 70% gross profit margin, is the lithium battery in the most profitable part. Membrane was made available beginning in 2005, but with foreign countries, domestic membrane thickness, strength, the overall hole absorption rate can not be taken into account, and the stability of the general, the major supplier of low-end market. Domestic listed companies involved in membrane has Fosugufen (000,973, closing price of 12.27 yuan), a subsidiary of Jinhui High-Tech from the operation.

Electrolyte lithium batteries accounted for about 15% of the cost, gross margin of approximately 40%. At present production capacity of about 1.8 million tons of supply and demand balance, but the future of new energy vehicles, large trucks on the electrolyte demand-pull. The scale of domestic production capacity of the electrolyte with the main manufacturers in Jiangsu Guotai (002,091, closing price of 23.83 yuan)’s Huarong Chemical Co., Dongguan Shanshan Shanshan’s universe and the new state, Huafang China’s textile companies are planning day 5,000 tons of production capacity, but is still in pilot phase.

In addition, the electrolyte is the main raw materials, lithium hexafluorophosphate, accounting for more than 50% cost of the electrolyte. As the production of technical difficulty, electrolyte market is monopolized by a few companies in Japan, China’s enterprises have yet to fully master the production technology, the current trial of lithium hexafluorophosphate listed company is Jiangsu Guotai and Fluoride (002,407, closing price of 46.55 yuan).

Analysts further believe that, due to the current high cost of new energy vehicle, less profitable, proposes a focus on upstream and downstream industrial chain of lithium, such as with mining mineral resources in Tibet (000,762, closing price of 28.14 yuan), Lu Xiang shares. Lithium foil as the main supporting material, should also be properly recognized. Kinwa is the leading copper foil production unit, the motor and control systems, Ocean Motor (002249, closing price of 25.78 yuan), three rings (000,970, closing price of 13.13 yuan), Ningbo Yunsheng (600 366, closing price of 15.06 yuan) are involved.

Renault electric vehicles and batteries sold separately or

July 27, according to 26 published in the French "Le Figaro" reported that the French car company Renault plans to launch electric car will be sold separately with battery, battery needs to hire an additional fee.

"Le Figaro" For example, Renault developed a small electric car Zoe2012 four years after the French market, net of government each provided € 5,000 electric car subsidies, the price will be less than 1.5 million euros, but the battery on rental will reach 100 euros. As a cutting-edge models, Renault Zoe with a fast charging battery, battery full after continuous driving 200 km.

Renault refused to "Le Figaro" reported the evaluation, but said the electric car will be priced close to its price the same types of diesel vehicles. French media said, Zoe is the improved g Polyols based on research and development, and one grams Polyols diesel prices about 1.5 million euros.

Renault is currently developing four major "zero emission" electric vehicles: small vehicles and medium-sized four Kangoo Fluence sedan market is expected mid-next year, two-seater car Twity the second half of next year, a small four-year car Zoe2012 listed. Renault said its full electric vehicle battery charging, at least 160 kilometers of continuous travel.

By 2015, Renault electric vehicles will expand annual production to 20 million, of which Zoe will yield more than 150,000. Renault electric vehicles will also be a profit sectors.

EV battery market will decide to change the fate of car batteries

According to reports, as the electric vehicle (EV) universal touchstone, Nissan’s new EV "green" to attract a lot of attention. Many automotive and battery-related heart and soul who are concerned about their booking. In Europe and China, the government and local governments have introduced preferential policies EV, EV previously skeptical of the car manufacturers are contracting cooperation, and gradually began the action. Reporter attended the International Conference car battery "AABC 2010", probing its trends.

Nissan Carlos Ghosn, president and CEO: "Nissan - Renault Group 2012 annual sales of electric vehicles (EV) 50 ÍòÁ¾." - Nissan has everything is ready, will be listed in December 2010 EV "green." Many auto-related persons are staring at the car’s booking conditions. This is a matter of course. Because the sale of green leaves, is directly related to the company currently hybrid (HEV)-based product strategy to change direction.

In this case, Nissan June 7, 2010 announced that its book two months in Japan over 6000, reaching 2010 sales target in Japan. Reported in the United States has more than 13,000 reservations.

Nissan will follow the original plan, establishing an annual output of 50 000 in Japan, the production system. And, from 2012 onwards in the United States to produce 150 000 leaves the production system, including battery production, including plant construction, has been started from May 2010. The company has shown that common with France’s Renault will start in Europe in Portugal, France and the United Kingdom production EV with lithium-ion rechargeable battery, its policy towards an annual output of 50 million units of production system.

Nissan has been able to plan for the EV implementation of the background is so strong, Nissan - Renault Group and local governments in close cooperation to promote the EV subsidies and other preferential system is established, and local government participating infrastructure construction progress. Moreover, not only in Europe, Japan and the United States and other developed countries in the world’s largest car market - China, EV incentives are also expanding.

Daimler and Toyota will also be converted policy?

With the preferential policies to enrich EV, EV car manufacturers between the capital and technology to become more active co-operation (Figure 1). Surprisingly, even the doctrine had been carrying out an independent Toyota also announced the company will be the risk of advanced EV Tesla Motors invested U.S. $ 50 million Note 1). Toyota has so far to take advantage of HEV and household power for the car battery, EV can travel a certain distance from the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) for the mainstream, recently committed to EV gradually began to change.

Around electric vehicles such as EV and HEV development, cooperation between car manufacturers increasingly complex. Some car manufacturers and even the number of lithium-ion rechargeable battery manufacturers to develop.

Note 1) Toyota May 21, 2010 contribution to Tesla Motors and their components on the EV development, production systems and technology-related business cooperation agreement. Estimate a joint venture of Toyota and GM NUMMI auto manufacturing company closed, and Tesla purchased the site also have a greater impact on the partnership.

In addition, European car manufacturers due to the introduction of EU incentives for EV, EV market have announced the beginning Note 2). Germany’s Daimler (Daimler) is particularly active. The company announced in April 2010, decisions and Nissan - Renault Group each hold 3.1% of the shares, the three companies, including EV small cars, including joint development of cooperation in such areas. "In the future there may need very substantial costs of electric vehicle battery joint venture" (Nissan’s Ghosn).

Note 2) France plans to spread 100 000 2015 EV, also plans to produce two million by 2020 EV. Germany plans to spread in 2020, one million EV and PHEV, Ireland plans to spread in 2020 225 000 EV. In addition, research and development of European industry forum - the European Technology Platform (European Technology Platform) goal is to spread one million by 2016, the cumulative EV and PHEV, to the popularity of 5,000,000 by 2020 the cumulative EV and PHEV.

Co-operation around the EV Daimler more than that. The company also envisages expanding EV markets in China, and in June 2010 together with the BYD set up BYD EV Daimler developed a new joint venture company in Shenzhen Technology Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen BYD Daimler New Technology).

In addition, European manufacturers of the French PSA Peugeot Citroen Group (PSA Group) will be accepted from mid-2010, Mitsubishi Motors "i-MiEV" delivery, start selling in Europe. Germany’s Volkswagen in 2013 listed three EV. The company plans to make the EV by 2018 accounted for 3% of the company’s sales.

EV battery market will change

These have begun to move around the EV electric vehicles to the main parts - car battery market is a huge impact. This is due to the previous electric vehicle HEV will be recognized as the mainstream. HEV battery with a capacity of only about 500 ~ 1kWh, battery manufacturers If you want to get mass production effect, many car manufacturers are required to supply. But if you can increase the popularity of EV is another matter. Because EV is equipped with HEV battery capacity is about 20 to 40 times.

For example, Nomura Research Institute forecast the market for electric vehicles in 2020 (excluding mild HEV) is about 8.5 million. Still over 600 million of sales in the mainstream HEV, EV less than 100 units (Figure 2). However, its market size as a car battery, then, EV amount calculated by using car batteries will account for half. Because EV uses a lot of car batteries.

Nomura Research Institute forecast, EV electric vehicles in 2020, but the proportion of the market accounted for more than one percent (a). However, the amount calculated by a car battery market mostly occupied by the EV battery (b). In addition, HEV does not include mild HEV. Figure based on information made Nomura Research Institute.

Future cars can achieve "auto" power

Scientists develop new materials to achieve the next car or "autologous" power

European scientists are developing a way to store and release electrical energy to the composite materials for automotive parts.

A cost of 3.4 million euros in imaginative projects of European scientists said, one day, auto body parts can also be used as a car battery.

Imperial College London, UK and its European partners, researchers are developing a way to store and release energy, and strong enough and light, can be used for automotive parts prototype material. The researchers hope that this material can be used in hybrid gasoline / electric vehicles, so that the vehicle lighter, more compact, more energy efficient, while allowing drivers to travel farther along the path without further charge.

In addition, the researchers believe that this has already been patented Imperial College of material has been used for a variety of everyday objects made of shell potential, such as mobile phones and computers, this way, they need a separate battery, and so that such devices smaller, lighter and more portable.

Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College, Dr Emile Greenhalgh said: "We feel the potential of this new technology is very exciting and we believe that the future of the car from its roof, hood, doors and even access to electricity, which will benefit from our development of new composite materials and even satellite navigation systems can receive power from its shell. "

Greenhalgh said: "The future applications of this material more than that you may have a credit card and as thin mobile phone, because it no longer requires a heavy battery, or a computer that can receive power from the laptop case , so that it can run longer without recharging. We are now still in the first phase of the project, still a long way to go, but we believe that this composite material has broad application prospects. "

In this study, the scientists plan to develop this material, so that it can be used to replace the trunk of the car’s metal chassis parts, namely, storage of the spare wheel well. The researchers said the wheel wells with composite materials instead of metal wheel wells, can provide power for the motor vehicle to reduce the number of batteries. They believe that this can be reduced to 15% of total vehicle weight, which significantly improve the performance of future hybrid cars.

Today’s hybrid vehicles, including an internal combustion engine, the driver will use it in speed, and a battery-powered electric motor, driving the car will use it. These vehicles require a lot of batteries for the electric motor, thus heavier vehicles, which means that cars will consume more energy, and the battery needs charging regularly in a short period.

The researchers said they are developing composite materials made from carbon fiber and a polymer resin, and can be faster than conventional batteries store and release large amounts of electricity.

In addition, this material does not use chemical processes, so that it can be faster than traditional battery charging. In addition, the charging process will not cause nearly the aging of composite materials, because it does not involve chemical reactions, while conventional batteries will be in use for some time after the aging.

The researchers said that this material can be inserted in the hybrid vehicle power supply on the domestic charge. They are also exploring other options charging methods, such as recycling energy generated when braking car.

In the first phase of the study, the scientists plan to further develop its composite materials, so that it can store more energy. The team will be through the development of carbon fiber surface of carbon nanotubes to improve the mechanical properties of this material, which will increase the material’s surface area, improve its capacity to store more energy. They also plan to explore in the industrial-level production of such composite materials the most effective way.

Organic photovoltaic cell efficiency to new highs

Organic photovoltaic (Organic photovoltaics, referred to as OPV) developer Solarmer Energy, Inc. has recently announced its new high cell efficiency, the conversion rate of up to 8.13% by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) certification. Last December, Solarmer company has announced that its organic photovoltaic plastic similar products obtained the highest conversion rate of 7.9%. Said, more than 8% of the organic photovoltaic cell conversion rate for that industry is an insurmountable psychological barrier. With the development of the company can achieve higher conversion rate of new polymer to obtain the records.

Solarmer president Dr. Xie Yongsheng, said: "This proves that OPV technology is expected to become cost-effective and competitive technologies and we became the first breakthrough for the conversion rate of 8% of companies are very proud of the company is willing to expand cooperation with other products technology, packaging and other companies with expertise in the field of cooperation between the OPV technology to market together our company’s next goal is to get in before the end of 2011, 10% conversion rate. "

Obama battle "selling" battery

U.S. President Barack Obama is scheduled to ・ 15 speech in Michigan, called for business investment and production plug-in hybrid car batteries, said the industry will become the highlight of the U.S. economic recovery.

Obama is scheduled to fly on the same day Holland, Michigan City, participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for a battery factory.

The facility will be GM’s Chevrolet "Volt" series and the Ford Motor Company "Fox" series hybrid battery production.

The federal government is expected to 2011, this project can contribute plug-in hybrid car batteries to increase annual production to 50 000 in 2014 to reach 500,000.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs ・ 14, said: "We intend to produce these products in the U.S. (electric vehicles and batteries), we create jobs for Americans."

Friends called battery recycling to protect the environment

With wireless technology, lower prices, more and more popular wireless products. But because the power supply for technical reasons, the battery must be equipped with wireless mouse, with the increased use of battery recycling to the fore, some enthusiastic early users called trip battery recycling system, let’s take a look at our wonderful friends with the analysis.

Pollution and waste battery treatment has become the social focus of most environmental concern. State Environmental Protection Administration of Science, Technology and concerned that with our type of battery, production and use continues to expand, the number and types of used batteries has also increased. Used batteries contain mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel and other heavy metals and acid, alkali and other electrolyte solution, on the human body and the environment have different degrees of harm. It is understood that one of the ecological environment on human health and the harmful, included in the list of hazardous waste control batteries are: mercury batteries, mainly mercury oxide battery; lead-acid batteries; cadmium batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries primarily.

Today, e-waste disposal has been the focus of public attention, the majority of users are also welcome to offer advice and offer words, a better environment for our contribution to a force.

StarCraft 2, Dante’s Inferno y Heavy Rain

This month we have become a set in three games . One is rather the future, but we could not let go, as is the second installment of StarCraft 2 .

Of course we also have a trip inspired by a poem is theological as the Divine Comedy, Dante’s Inferno and, finally, a game-time we will hear: Heavy Rain .

The first game to highlight is Dante’s Inferno , a game that builds on the first part of Dante Alighieri’s theological poem, the Inferno of the Divine Comedy. As Dante will have to travel through the nine circles of hell .

EA has developed a game system that is clearly based on the same as that of another great action game: God of War. Luckily, Dante’s Inferno is not entirely a clone, thanks largely to the sheer quality that is imbued with all the game design.

And we’ll see a hell with the deadly sins (lust included) and a representation that we can only say that cause you distress. Apart from this, is a game full of action and, yes, only recommended for people over 18 years (is it about the sins).

Foobar2000 vs Winamp

In audio players value more the functions and the way that his appearance. So what if there swinging rods or graphic effects? I listen to music while working: in this sense, the less I see the player, the better. My choice is Foobar2000, Player very light and it does not clog.

Hi Fabrizio, I’m glad that you comment on the issue because I use Winamp for many years. I understand that in an audio player aspect is not important, but the truth is that it always Thank care that is minimally. Nobody likes to see a window that looks like anything but a player.

That may make sense for a mini or a home hi-fi, but not for a computer program. The most important are the functionsWhich must be many and easily accessible. Graphic effects contribute very little to the enjoyment of music. Or do you always have to Winamp in the foreground?

Rather than have it open constantly, the problem is that I hate to see a shoe box with buttons on the occasions that I have to deal with it. But since you talk about important issues What if we speak the language? How many available Foobar? Does it affect that Foobar is only in English so that some users are not "so easily accessible" your options?

True, Foobar is only available in English. But that’s not a big problem: configuration requires only. I think much worse having to deal with a mock radio for the car. Foobar is an ongoing project (not yet reached version 1.0), but is more stable and lighter than others. If you compare the speed and memory resources, has few rivals Foobar.

Sometimes it is better to opt for software that has served ten years and millions of downloads for a "newcomer." In any case, it is true that Winamp requires more system resources, but not so far-fetched when you consider its capabilities. The memory used depends very much on what you’re doing: for example, minimized can occupy less than 10 Mb, An amount more than acceptable for any PC. However, much to belittle Foobar, this does not increase your skills: P

Capabilities, on the other hand, have nothing to envy to other programs. It is compatible with Last.FM, supports all formats that exist and have a considerable amount of plugins available. Not as easy to install as with other programs, but better than nothing. Now, let me put your finger on the pulse: What Winamp has brought innovations in recent years? I still remember the disaster that was the version 3.

Last.FM integration is not just a plugin that you can get Winamp and countless more widgets. Plugin is better even speak, because the amount available for Foobar is ridiculous: they can be listed all on one page. Do you know how many are for Winamp? Over 3,000, Excluding Views or skins. The Winamp News not too much, that’s true, but would have to see those of Foobar. At last, after all, are media players can not enter central locking and power windows, but still will name a few: video playback, Winamp Remote, integration with various online streaming content, format conversion integrated tag editor, integration with integrated skins, new interface 鈥?/p>

Could argue that the quality of the plugins for Winamp is very uneven, but I will dedicate my final blow to that argument is perhaps the most weight: Personalization. Foobar2000 interface consists of elements that can be rearranged in any configuration you can think of: playlist, visualizations, tabs, books 鈥?by contrast, Winamp is restricted to a standard estructrura, inflexible.

It is true that one of the strengths of Foobar is personalization through its modular design or using their SDK, with the necessary knowledge can be made real fancy stuff. The problem is that most people either do not know what an SDK, or do not have the patience to edit your player. In this case, the alternative is to use art skins, And it is no secret that far exceeds Winamp in this aspect to Foobar. Okay, "factory" can not change much, but the new Bento Skin is also modular and can be adjusted.

In summary, it can be seen as two programs that have made a different approach to the same problem. Foobar bet for lightness and outdated interface, while Winamp cares more detail and therefore takes a little longer to respond.

Unite , which promised to add a new dimension to the sharing of content, has been abandoned in the final version, perhaps because it is still too experimental: Opera 10 is still a web browser without integrated servers. On the other hand, the interface has improved significantly, with preview of tabs, spell check and a faster more efficient marker.

Absent from the Grand Opera 10 is the private browsing. All other browsers, from Safari to Chrome, the included and promoted. The reason for this lack, perhaps, lies in the philosophy of Opera, which gives priority to real security and privacy over the facade. Opera in forums, the discussion continues .
