I kēia manawa, ke noi ʻenehana o ka puʻuwai lithium i ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu i ka nui o ka nānā ʻana i nā māla o ke kahua hoʻonohonoho kūlaha kū pono, ka ʻōnaehana mālama ʻōnaehana, nā kaʻa uila a me nā kikowaena uila, nā pono uila, nā pono keʻena o ka home a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe. I ka manawa o ka hoʻolālā 13th Five Year Plan, ʻo Kina ka waihona mālama ikehu e alakaʻi i ke kahua o nā pono lehulehu, me ke komo ʻana mai ka hanauna mana a me ka ʻaoʻao hoʻoili i ka ʻaoʻao mea hoʻohana. Wahi a ka ʻikepili, ʻo ka nui o ka noi o ka lithium pākahi mālama mālama mākeke ma 2017 ma kahi o 5.8gwh, a ʻo ka mahele o ka pākeke lithium-ion e hoʻonui mau i kēlā me kēia makahiki i ka makahiki 2018.

Wahi a nā hanana noi, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā paila lithium-ion i ka hoʻohana ʻana, ka mana a me ka mālama ʻana o ka ikehu. I kēia manawa, mahalo nui ʻia ka pākahi lithium uila a me ka uila lithium pūnaewele i ka ʻoihana. Wahi a ka wānana a nā loea mana, ʻo ka mahele o ka pākahi lithium uila i nā noi āpau o ka pākahi lithium ma Kina e piʻi aʻe i 70% e 2020, a e lilo ka pākahiko mana i ka ikaika nui o ka pākahi lithium. E lilo ka pākahi lithium uila i ka mana nui o ka pākahi lithium

ʻO ka ulu wikiwiki ʻana o ka ʻoihana pākahi lithium ma muli o ke kulekele e paipai ana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi ʻoihana kaʻa ikehu hou. I ʻApelila 2017, ke Kuhina o ka ʻoihana a me ka ʻenehana ʻikepili o ka Repubalika o Kina o ka ʻāina i ʻōlelo ʻia i loko o ka papahana hoʻolālā hoʻomohala wā lōʻihi a lōʻihi hoʻi o ka ʻoihana kaʻa "ʻo ka hana a me ke kūʻai aku ʻana o nā kaʻa ikehu hou e hōʻea i 2 miliona ma 2020, a Pono nā kaʻa ikehu hou e ʻoi aku ma mua o 20% o ka hana kaʻa a me nā kūʻai aku e 2025. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka lilo ʻana o ka ikehu a me ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā ʻoihana pale kūlohelohe i mau ʻoihana kia nui o ke kaiāulu i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

I ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻenehana uila uila, e lilo ana ke ternary i mea nui. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate a me nā pākana lithium manganese dioxide, loaʻa i ka pākahi lithium lithium ke ʻano o ka kiʻekiʻena kiʻekiʻena, paepae voltage kiʻekiʻe, ke kiʻekiʻena piʻipiʻi, hana uila maikaʻi, kūpaʻa electrochemical a pēlā aku. ʻIke maikaʻi ia i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke kaʻina o nā kaʻa ikehu hou. I ka manawa like, loaʻa iā ia nā pōmaikaʻi o ka mana puka kiʻekiʻe, ka hana maikaʻi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa maikaʻi, a hiki ke hoʻololi i ka mahana wela āpau. No nā kaʻa uila, ʻaʻohe mea kānalua e hopohopo nei ka hapa nui o nā mea kūʻai aku e pili ana i kona ahonui a me ka palekana, a ʻo ke kinikini lithium-ion he koho ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

Me ka piʻi wikiwiki o ka koi uila uila, ua hoʻonui nui ʻia ke koi no ka uila lithium-ion, a ua lilo ia i mana nui e hoʻokele nei i ka ulu o ka ʻoihana pākahi lithium-ion. ʻO ka pauma lithium kahi huahana paʻakikī loa. Ua hānau ʻia ia i nā makahiki 1980 a ua lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ka ua a me ka ʻenehana hou. I ka manawa like, ʻaʻohe mea nui o ka hana a i ʻole ka luku ʻia ʻana o ka pakuhi lithium i mea pōʻino i ke kaiapuni, kahi i kūlike me nā koi o ka ulu ʻana o ka nohona. No laila, ua lilo ka pila lithium i ke kikowaena o ka hanauna hou o ka ikehu. I ka wā waena, ʻo ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻenehana hoʻokele i kēia manawa ke kumu o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻenehana noi honua. Ma ke ʻano he huahana nui e pono ai no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻenehana, lawe ʻia ka pākahi lithium mana e ulu nui i nā makahiki he 3-5 e hiki mai ana.
