Determination of Commercialization Potential Through Patent Attribute Assessment in Lithium Ion Battery Technology

An Outlook on Lithium Ion Battery Technology

Lithium ion batteries as a power source are dominating in portable electronics, penetrating the electric vehicle market, and on the verge of entering the utility market for grid-energy storage. Depending on the application, trade-offs among the various performance parameters-energy, power, cycle life, cost, safety, and environmental impact-are often needed, which are linked to severe materials ...

Electrochemical Characterization of Low-Cost Lithium-Iron Orthosilicate Samples as Cathode Materials of Lithium-Ion Battery

Lithium-iron-orthosilicate is one of the most promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to its safety, environmental brightness and potentially low cost. In order to produce a low cost cathode material, Li2FeSiO4/C samples are synthesized via sol-gel (SG; one sample) and solid state (SS; two samples with different carbon content), starting from Fe (III) in the raw materials (lo...

Modeling The Lithium-ion Battery

Highly Functionalized Lithium-Ion Battery

Future energy demand is an important issue that requires consideration. Lithiumion batteries (LIB) are one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, cameras, and laptop computers, and have led to other applications being commercialized. Distributed power generation using renewable energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV), ca...

Patent value assessment and commercialization strategy

Article history: Received 18 June 2012 Received in revised form 5 September 2012 Accepted 24 September 2012 Available online 13 November 2012 It is difficult to assess the value of a patent before it is commercialized in the market. In this study, the author presents a hybrid method of assessing patent value and determining strategy in the early stage of commercialization. The author uses empir...
