Our product

At GTHR Poland, we produce electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries, which plays a key role in the process of energy storage and transfer.

Lithium-ion battery - key features of the battery and electrolyte

Lithium-ion batteries are a staple of modern technology used in many electrical devices, from smartphones to electric cars and energy storage. One of the most important elements of their design is the electrolyte, which allows lithium ions to flow between the anode and cathode. Its quality affects battery life, performance and safety.

The electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries performs a key function enabling energy storage and transfer. Its function is to transport lithium ions between the anode and cathode, which is essential for the battery to function properly. This process makes it possible to store energy and release it efficiently, such as during the operation of an electric car. The electrolyte also plays an important role in stabilizing the surface of the anode and cathode, which extends the life of the battery and improves its performance. The quality of the electrolyte thus has a direct impact on the range and efficiency of electric cars.

Battery longevity - benefits for users and the environment

Studies show that a properly selected electrolyte can significantly extend the life of lithium-ion batteries, which in electric cars can last from 3 to 10 years. Recently, a minimum life of 10 years has been required of batteries used in energy storage. The rate of degradation of automotive batteries, averaging 2.3% of original capacity per year, can be slowed by using a premium electrolyte. After 500 charging cycles, battery capacity drops to about 90%, and after 1,000 cycles to about 80%. A charging cycle for an average passenger electric car takes 4 to 5 days, resulting in 74 to 91 charging cycles per year. It thus takes 10 to 14 years to achieve 1,000 charging cycles. At GTHR Poland, our electrolyte supports the long life of batteries, which has a direct impact on reducing EV operating costs, CO 2 emissions and, consequently, environmental protection.

Technology of the future - lithium-ion batteries

Technological advances are allowing the development of increasingly efficient lithium-ion batteries. Modern raw materials are helping to improve safety and extend battery life. At GTHR Poland, we are constantly working to improve our products to meet the growing demands of the electromobility market. Lithium-ion batteries are not only an efficient energy source, but also a key technology for sustainable development. Thanks to the production of modern electrolyte, we offer products that meet the highest safety and performance standards.

How does a lithium-ion battery work?

A lithium-ion battery consists of four main components: anode, cathode, electrolyte and separator. The electrolyte is the chemical that allows the flow of lithium ions, and the separator prevents short circuits by separating the anode from the cathode. The charging and discharging process involves the flow of lithium ions between the two electrodes, which generates electricity.

Electrolyte - main ingredients and their role

The electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries consists of lithium salts, organic solvents and additives to improve chemical stability. The quality and purity of these components directly affect the ionic conductivity and life cycle of the battery. At GTHR, our electrolyte is the result of advanced materials research that maximizes its effectiveness and contributes to longer battery life.

The electrolyte we produce consists of precisely selected ingredients - lithium salts and organic solvents and specialized additives. The key in this aspect is to maintain exact proportions. Thanks to the use of the latest technology, our product not only ensures high performance, but also battery safety. Each new model of electrolyte is created in modern laboratories, and each batch of electrolyte in mass production undergoes rigorous testing for chemical and physical properties.

There are many types of lithium-ion batteries, differing in electrode and electrolyte composition. For example, batteries with NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) cathodes offer high energy density, while models with LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) cathodes have longer life and greater safety.

The quality of the components and their concentration in the electrolyte are key factors affecting battery performance. Proper selection of these ingredients improves ionic conductivity, extending the life of the battery and increasing its stability over a long period of use. Electrolyte purity and compliance with all standards during production and adherence to internal quality standards and limits also play an important role. Thanks to modern quality control methods, we ensure that our product contributes to a significant extension of the life of lithium-ion batteries, which is crucial for electric car users and the development of sustainable electromobility.

To ensure maximum battery life, batteries should be stored in dry and cool places, away from heat and moisture sources. Minimizing charging cycles and avoiding full discharge are other steps that help maintain the chemical stability of the cells.
