Toshiba’s official website in the announcement that in 2008, the company launched a super charge ion battery (Super Battery Ion Battery, SCiB), that uses lithium titanate as the cathode. It can achieve rapid charge and discharge. It’s life expectancy is up to 15,000 times, and it can even be used in a minus 30 C environment. Through technical research and development, Toshiba has made possible the development of titanium niobium oxide as the anode material of lithium-ion battery. “New anode material, titanium niobium oxide achieves double the capacity of the anode of current lithium-ion batteries”, according to Toshiba.
