The active components of a rechargeable NiMH battery in the charged state consist of nickel hydroxide (NiOOH) in the positive electrode and a hydrogen storing metal alloy (MH) in the negative electrode as well as an alkaline electrolyte.
The world Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries market is currently at a mature stage and its technology offers limited scope for innovation. However, relative to the newer alternative chemistries, NiMH provides a price-efficient solution for many applications, given its lower price per kWh and performance characteristics. Growth opportunities arise mainly from two end-user segments, namely the consumer electronics and industrial segments. On one hand, NIMH batteries are well suited to supply the growing demand for rechargeable batteries employed in toys, cordless phones, vacuum cleaners, and other cordless appliances. On the other hand, the industrial segment is poised to demand NIMH batteries for powering appliances that require rugged batteries such as automotive applications where it is the technology of choice for powering HEVs and where it has accumulated over 10 years of trouble free service and can thus last for the lifetime of the car. NiMH can handle the high power levels typical in EV applications, the active chemicals are inherently safer than Lithium based cells and NiMH batteries don't need the complex battery management systems (BMS) essential with Lithium batteries.
At present, in developed countries, the Ni-MH Battery industry is generally at a more advanced level. The world's large enterprises are mainly concentrated in Japan and China. Meanwhile, foreign companies have more advanced equipment, strong R & D capability, and leading technical level. However, foreign companies? manufacturing cost is relatively higher, compared with Chinese companies. With the development of Chinese Ni-MH Battery production technology, their share in the international market is increasing, and competitiveness in the international market gradually increases.
China?s Ni-MH Battery industry has developed into a national wide status with certain research and production capacity, industry product mix has gradually improved, currently. China has become a large international production country of Ni-MH Battery, but the production technology is relatively laggard to produce some low-end product. The key product of China Ni-MH Battery market is Small-Sized battery for Consumer Electronics. The Ni-MH Battery for HEV are monopolized by Primearth EV Energy.The future of Ni-MH Battery is dark for the substituted by lithium battery in both consumer electronics application and HEV.
