Battery-Related Products
(Izumi Factory)

In the battery business segment, we manufacture electrolytes for use in lithium-ion secondary batteries. Lithium-ion secondary batteries have the advantages of being small, lightweight and high capacity. As an important component that supports today's Information Society, they are used in such products as mobile phones, tablet PCs, and notebook PCs. In addition, with the emergence of the clean energy era, they also power hybrid cars and EVs (electric vehicle), which have experienced explosive popularity recently. There are high expectations that the market for them will expand even further in the future.

Stella Chemifa has turned lithium hexafluorophosphate, an electrolyte for lithium-ion secondary batteries, into a viable product ahead of other companies and has built systems for their stable supply. Furthermore, because of its high degree of purity, the electrolyte is recently being used also in high-functioning lithium-ion secondary batteries.

And, with the increasing need from various industries including EVs for lithium-ion batteries and their high levels of safety and functionality, we are developing additives and conducting research into incombustible electrolytes which use ionic liquids, both of which enhance the properties of batteries.
