Ni-MH batteries are the real choice, and lithium-ion batteries are the direction of development. Liu Jun, a researcher at Essence Securities, said bluntly that the industrialization of lithium-ion batteries will take time. During the transition period of the next three to five years, new energy power will still be based on nickel-hydrogen batteries.

　　Data show that 90% of the global automotive battery market is currently dominated by nickel-metal hydride batteries, and Japan has mastered the most core technology. With stable performance, mature technology and high degree of industrialization, Ni-MH batteries will become the key development direction of domestic new energy in the next five years.

　　From a commercial production point of view, nickel-hydrogen batteries are currently superior to lithium-ion batteries. Liu Changle said that with the increasing maturity of lithium-ion battery technology, its market space in the future will inevitably be released gradually.

　　At present, the entire market has conducted a lot of discussions on the application prospects of lithium-ion batteries in the field of new energy vehicles. However, its application prospects in traditional fields have received little attention. Through the application research of lithium-ion batteries in important application fields, it is found that even if the development of new energy vehicles is lower than expected, the development prospects of the lithium-ion battery industry are still optimistic.

　　At present, the notebook computer and mobile phone market are still two important markets for lithium-ion batteries. In the future, the trend of portability and flatness of personal computers will still promote the rapid rise of lithium demand. Smart and touch-sensitive mobile phones will also ensure a steady increase in shipments. Lithium-ion batteries are also worth looking forward to in many fields such as digital cameras, PSPs, e-books, power tools, electric bicycles and telecommunication backup power supplies.

　　Through a summary analysis of the demand for lithium-ion batteries, we found that: in 2010, the total capacity of the global small lithium-ion battery market was approximately 52.6 billion yuan. By 2015, this market will double to 106.9 billion yuan. In the next 5 years, the small lithium market will maintain an average annual growth rate of about 15%. The subsequent development of small lithium-ion batteries will provide stable support for the development of the lithium-ion battery industry.
