Improving Separator Performance and Reliability

「During the fiscal year, the company developed separators for medium- and high-voltage capacitors with excellent short-circuit resistance to address market expansion related to energy-efficient home appliances, solar and wind power generation, and AI servers. It also continued developing thin, highly reliable separators for low-voltage capacitors with excellent short-circuit resistance to address market expansion in automotive applications, where electrification is advancing through applications such as electric vehicles and autonomous driving, and in AI servers, as well as thin separators for hybrid capacitors supporting smaller size and higher capacity and separators for conductive polymer solid capacitors with excellent heat resistance.」

「During the fiscal year, to respond closely to user needs, the company focused on enhancing the functionality of separators for electric double-layer capacitors, further reducing the thickness of separators for lithium-ion batteries, and developing supports for all-solid-state batteries. The company also worked on developing elemental technologies to improve separator performance.」

「The company is also developing higher-performance, higher-quality separators to address the expansion of energy-efficient vehicle applications, including electric vehicles, driven by growing interest in a decarbonised society, and of clean-energy fields such as solar and wind power generation. During the fiscal year, to respond closely to user needs, the company worked to expand its lineup of separators for electric double-layer capacitors, further reduce the thickness of separators for lithium-ion batteries, improve their reliability and affinity with various electrolytes, and enhance their rapid charging and discharging performance. The company also began developing elemental technologies to improve separator performance.」
