Moving forward with development of promising materials for rechargeable batteries

Rechargeable batteries are already widely used in the electronic field, among others, for personal computers, cellular phones, digital cameras and other information-related appliances, and they seem certain to see more widespread uses as the trend toward downsizing for personalization and portability of information appliances progresses. In addition, in the rechargeable battery sector, a growing market in recent years is the battery for hybrid cars and electric cars.

Ise supplies several key battery materials for these promising markets as well.
