                Current Toshiba "SCiB" products

                Toshiba is planning to commercialize the next generation of its proprietary SCiB lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in fiscal 2020 or later, with an energy density that is more than 50% higher than that of conventional products. The company has already developed a prototype cell at its research laboratory and will establish mass production technology. While SCiBs are strong in terms of longevity and fast charging performance, energy density, which leads to higher battery capacity, has been an issue. The company aims to expand its business by focusing on hybrid vehicles (HV), railroads and stationary applications. However, in the lithium-ion battery market as a whole, major manufacturers in Japan, China and South Korea are competing with each other. Toshiba's strategy is to target a "niche top" market by narrowing down the target market because price competition is not in Toshiba's favor.

                    Murata Manufacturing's all-individual battery that has started shipping samples

                    Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will startmass production of all solid-state batteries using ceramics technology within fiscal 2019. The company will build a new mass production line in the battery-related production building at Yasu Plant (Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture). The production capacity is planned to be 100,000 units per month for the time being. The capacity of the prototype is more than 10 milliampere hours, 100 times higher than that of other companies' products, the highest level in the industry, and the company will accelerate its expansion into energy-related markets, including the lithium-ion rechargeable battery business acquired from Sony in 2005. The company will mass-produce surface-mounted "ceramic all-solid-state batteries" that use ceramic materials as the electrolyte. In addition to converting its manufacturing facilities for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs)(Photo taken on June 13, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)
