In order to provide better information and reference for government and companies on power lithium-ion battery industry development,patent analysis of power lithium-ion battery was carried out.Based on Derwent Innovation Index(DII),patents of power lithium-ion battery were analyzed and studied from aspects of overall development trends,subdivision technologies including positive and negative electrode,electrolyte,membrane,battery and battery set,patent geographic distribution and top assignees separately,using methods of science and technology literature studies,patent technology life cycle analysis,comprehensive competitive analysis of six elements of organization and priority and publication patent country distribution and so on with TDA and Innography analysis system.It is found that power lithium-ion battery technologies have signs of becoming matured;and also have trends of downstream industry integration of upstream industry.In branch technology, battery manage system(BMS)and separator materials are relative hot technologies.In terms of patent assignees,most top ones are from Japan,Korean companies are also developing rapidly,numbers of Chinese companies is large,however,Chinese companies are with little important patents and have not yet formed the scale.In addition,it is worth noting that Japanese and South Korean companies have begun to apply patents in China,while China is still pay attention to domestic market.
