Njengamanje, ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe kwebhethri le-lithium ekugcinweni kwamandla kugxile kakhulu emikhakheni yokuphakelwa kukagesi okusesiteshini segridi, uhlelo lokugcina i-optical ekhaya, izimoto zikagesi neziteshi zokushaja, amathuluzi kagesi, imishini yehhovisi lasekhaya kanye neminye imikhakha. Ngesikhathi se-13th Five Year Plan, imakethe yokugcina amandla yaseShayina izohola emkhakheni wezinsiza zomphakathi, ngokungena kusukela ekukhiqizweni kukagesi kanye nokudluliselwa kuye ohlangothini lomsebenzisi. Ngokusho kwedatha, umthamo wokusetshenziswa kwemakethe yokugcina amandla ebhethri le-lithium ngo-2017 wawucishe ube ngu-5.8gwh, kanti isabelo semakethe sebhethri le-lithium-ion sizoqhubeka nokukhula kancane kancane unyaka nonyaka ngo-2018.

Ngokwezimo zokusetshenziswa, amabhethri e-lithium-ion angahlukaniswa ngokusetshenziswa, amandla kanye nokugcinwa kwamandla. Njengamanje, ibhethri le-lithium lamandla kanye nebhethri le-lithium lokugcina amandla liyaziswa kakhulu embonini. Ngokusho kokubikezela kochwepheshe abanegunya, isilinganiso sebhethri le-lithium lamandla kuzo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza zebhethri le-lithium eShayina kulindeleke ukuthi sikhuphuke sifike ku-70% ngo-2020, kanti ibhethri lamandla lizoba amandla amakhulu ebhethri le-lithium. Ibhethri le-lithium lamandla lizoba amandla amakhulu ebhethri le-lithium.

Ukuthuthukiswa okusheshayo kwemboni yebhethri le-lithium kungenxa yenqubomgomo ekhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kwemboni yezimoto ezintsha zamandla. Ngo-Ephreli 2017, uMnyango Wezimboni kanye nobuchwepheshe bolwazi weRiphabhulikhi Yabantu baseShayina uphinde wakhuluma “ohlelweni lwakamuva lokuthuthukiswa kwemboni yezimoto oluphakathi nolude” ukuthi ukukhiqizwa nokuthengiswa kwezimoto ezintsha zamandla kufanele kufinyelele ezigidini ezimbili ngo-2020, nokuthi izimoto ezintsha zamandla kufanele zibe ngaphezu kuka-20% wokukhiqizwa nokuthengiswa kwezimoto ngo-2025. Kungabonakala ukuthi izimboni ezintsha zamandla kanye nokonga amandla okuluhlaza kanye nezinye izimboni zokuvikela imvelo zizoba yizimboni ezibalulekile zomphakathi esikhathini esizayo.

Esikhathini esizayo sobuchwepheshe bebhethri lamandla, i-ternary iba umkhuba omkhulu. Uma iqhathaniswa namabhethri e-lithium cobalt oxide, i-lithium iron phosphate kanye ne-lithium manganese dioxide, ibhethri le-ternary lithium linezici zobuningi bamandla aphezulu, ipulatifomu yamandla aphezulu, ubuningi be-tap ephezulu, ukusebenza kahle komjikelezo, ukuzinza kwe-electrochemical njalo njalo. Inezinzuzo ezisobala ekuthuthukiseni uhla lwezimoto ezintsha zamandla. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, inezinzuzo zamandla aphezulu okukhipha, ukusebenza kahle kwezinga lokushisa eliphansi, futhi ingazivumelanisa nokushisa okuvumelana nesimo sezulu. Ezimotweni zikagesi, akungabazeki ukuthi abathengi abaningi bakhathazekile ngokukhuthazela nokuphepha kwayo, futhi ibhethri le-lithium-ion ngokusobala liyisinqumo esingcono.

Ngokwanda okusheshayo kwesidingo sezimoto zikagesi, isidingo sebhethri le-lithium-ion elinamandla sikhule kakhulu, okuye kwaba amandla amakhulu aqhuba ukukhula kwemboni yebhethri le-lithium-ion. Ibhethri le-lithium liwumkhiqizo onzima kakhulu. Lazalwa ngawo-1980 futhi liye ladlula isikhathi eside semvula kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha kwezobuchwepheshe. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi inqubo yokukhiqiza noma yokubhubhisa ibhethri le-lithium ayilimazi kangako imvelo, okuhambisana kakhulu nezidingo zentuthuko yezenhlalo yamanje. Ngakho-ke, ibhethri le-lithium seliyinto ebalulekile yesizukulwane esisha samandla. Esikhathini esimaphakathi, ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bezokuthutha bamanje kuyisisekelo sokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe besicelo somhlaba wonke. Njengomkhiqizo osekelayo obalulekile wokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bezokuthutha, ibhethri le-lithium elinamandla kulindeleke ukuthi libe nentuthuko enkulu eminyakeni emi-3-5 ezayo.
