Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd. headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is an innovating global chemical company with approximately 15,300 employees on a consolidated basis. Fiscal 2009 (ended March 31, 2010) consolidated sales totaled 455.3 billion yen ($5.0 billion). Hitachi Chemical offers a diverse range of products, including Electronics Related Products and Advanced Performance Products with several products with the world's leading market share. Hitachi Chemical began manufacturing and sales of anode materials in 1998 and holds global top market share. As lithium-ion batteries have rapidly become widespread as secondary batteries allowing development of high performance and multifunctional portable devices. In addition, applications as power sources for hybrid and electric vehicles have drown much public attention. Hitachi Chemical has established an extensive and solid patent network for our anode materials in Japan and abroad concerning their structure, physical properties and applications. For use in motor vehicles, the Company has also developed graphite-based anode materials that enable high energy density, as well as amorphous carbon anode materials with excellent input characteristics. In addition, Hitachi Chemical has enabled the balancing of long life and a high level of safety in batteries by stabilizing anode material surfaces and internal structures against electrolytes and temperature. Multiple customers in Japan and abroad are already using them.
In light of growing demand, the Company plans to increase capacity several times in Japan during the next few years. It will invest approximately 10 billion yen in this effort. Hitachi Chemical will work to maintain the world's leading market share in the field of carbon anode materials for lithium ion batteries for vehicles by aggressively expanding production capacity.

ANSYS, Inc., founded in 1970, develops and globally markets engineering simulation software and technologies widely used by engineers, designers, researchers and students across a broad spectrum of industries and academia. The company focuses on the development of open and flexible solutions that enable users to analyze designs directly on the desktop, providing a common platform for fast, efficient and cost-conscious product development, from design concept to final-stage testing and validation.
In evaluating and optimizing the various thermal management configurations of batteries, parameterization and methods such as design of experiments are used in combination with ANSYS® CFD solvers for analyzing the complex 3-D cooling flows and conjugate (solid-to-fluid) heat transfer. For evaluating pack performance for long driving cycles, ANSYS CFD and Simplorer® technologies can be used together in a linear time invariant (LTI) method for efficiently performing such real-time simulations. Engineers can use Simplorer in evaluating the control algorithms for studying overcharging, high-current charging/discharging, external shorts or other electrical problems that could reduce battery life and risk battery explosion. The software is ideal for studying such algorithms due to its ability to tightly integrate 3-D physical models (fluid dynamics and mechanical) into the control circuit simulation.

Süd-Chemie has been founded in 1857 in Heufeld, Germany. One of the founders was a famous German chemist, Justus von Liebig. The Süd-Chemie Group had a turnover of roughly 1,22 billion Euro in 2010 with a little more than 6.500 employees.
Süd-Chemie has developed a special process to produce LiFePO₄ and got IP rights on this process. Phostech Lithium is a 100% daughter of Süd-Chemie and is licensee of the Goodenough patents. The battery activities at Süd-Chemie / Phostech comprise of LiFePO₄-Life Power® as cathode material and Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ as anode material. New materials are in development.
Production takes place in Montreal, Canada and in Moosburg, Germany. In Q3 2011 the first large scale production of Life Power® P2 with a total capacity of 2.400 mtons per year will commence.
LiFePO₄ is the latest cathode material showing big promise especially in the use of large traction batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles. The outstanding feature of LiFePO₄ is its inherent safety. Unless Nickel and Cobald the phosphate does not dissociate when the temperature rises above 230°C and release the oxygen. Further it has been proven that the cyclability of LiFePO₄ is clearly superior to all alternative materials.

WILDCAT DISCOVERY TECHNOLOGIES is involved in the high throughput discovery and development of new materials for rechargeable and primary batteries. Wildcat scientists use proprietary high throughput equipment and advanced electrochemical assays to accelerate breakthrough battery materials discoveries. At present, Wildcat can synthesize and test over 1,500 unique battery material compositions in half, full or three electrode cells every week. All materials are synthesized in bulk form, formulated into electrodes, assembled into cells and then tested in actual batteries. This massively parallel approach in real devices is unique in the world and allows Wildcat to evaluate thousands of new cathode, anode, electrolyte, and formulation combinations. As a result, Wildcat is accelerating its corporate partners' quest to dramatically improve battery performance and reduce related costs.
