「In addition, by leveraging the redox technology we have cultivated through plating, we aim to create new business areas in addition to our existing areas of operation, and are currently advancing the development of battery materials under our medium- to long-term vision, RDD2030*.」
Continuing to develop battery materials under RDD2030. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「One such area is battery materials. The company aims to select battery-materials and electrolyte manufacturers as partners and begin joint development by the end of fiscal 2027 through opportunities such as exhibiting at trade shows, and to begin producing and selling products from the end of fiscal 2030.」
For expansion into the battery materials field, the company continues its time-bound plan for partner selection, joint development, and the start of production and sales, and had progressed to the start of sample work during the fiscal year. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「The company aims to select battery-materials and electrolyte manufacturers as partners and begin joint development by the end of fiscal 2027 through opportunities such as exhibiting at trade shows, and to begin producing and selling products from the end of fiscal 2030.」
As part of its expansion into non-electronics and non-precious-metal fields, the company set out a time-bound plan for its battery materials business covering partner selection, joint development, and the start of production and sales, and R&D had progressed to the start of some sample work. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「One such area is battery materials. As electric vehicles and renewable energy become more widespread, demand is growing for batteries that are less expensive, lighter and longer-lasting than conventional batteries. The company has begun developing new technologies to help solve challenges in battery materials using the redox control technology it developed through its plating chemical business.」
The company continues to develop technologies for battery materials using redox control technology as part of its initiative to expand precious-metal plating technologies into non-electronics and non-precious-metal fields. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「One such area is battery materials. As electric vehicles and renewable energy become more widespread, demand is growing for batteries that are less expensive, lighter and longer-lasting than conventional batteries. Battery charging and discharging reactions use the same redox reactions as plating. The company has begun developing new technologies to help solve challenges in battery materials using the redox control technology it developed through its plating chemical business.」
To address the decline in sales volumes of existing precious-metal plating chemicals resulting from reduced gold consumption, the company is giving concrete form to expansion into non-electronics and non-precious-metal fields and has begun developing technologies for battery materials. - FY2020RestatedAnnual report
「In recent years, specifications that reduce gold consumption by lowering the gold concentration in plating solutions and making plating films thinner have been gaining ground. Addressing these specifications while maintaining the physical properties of the plating film has become a key challenge. In addition, to offset the decline in sales volumes of precious-metal plating chemicals resulting from reduced gold consumption, the company is working to expand the precious-metal plating technologies it has accumulated into industries outside electronics and to apply them to plating technologies that do not use precious metals.」
The company continues to address reduced gold consumption and expand its precious-metal plating technologies into non-electronics and non-precious-metal fields. - FY2018RestatedAnnual report
