3DOM strives for contributing to resolve various issues that the world is confronting by deploying ingenious business models that will contribute to the society through positioning, thereby structuring sustainable societies the cutting edge battery technology that leads the world in the center. Even if the technology is refined and multi-functions are pursued, many prior examples have proved that simple sales-oriented business models cannot survive in the coming era. In order to establish the next generation of new industries, it is necessary to establish not only the high level of technical capabilities but also unique business models that effectively utilize such capabilities. 3DOM, positioning itself in the core of such arena, is determined to challenge the world markets.
As the first step, 3DOM aspires to achieve deployment of services that related to electrification of the next-generation transportation infrastructure . The advantage of the 3DOM battery technologies and the 3DOM business models is that 3DOM can demonstrate those strengths in the mobility market that electrification is being accelerated. We look forward to growing together with the partners in the strategic markets that 3DOM has selected, focusing on the forthcoming era of fully-autonomous mobility.
Taking in 3DOM’s state-of-the-art battery technologies, LAVLE Holdings, Inc. will propel electrification of vessels and machinery in oil & gas markets in the North America, and provides total solution for electrification. Please refer to the home page of LAVLE Holdings, Inc. for details.
3DOM (ASIA) CO., LTD. was established to supply 3DOM’s innovative batteries to EV manufacturers, etc. in Asian countries. In April 2018, the certification of the Board of Investment in Thailand was granted, and the new company will be fully operational from October 2018.
3DOM was originally a university-originated entrepreneurial venture company that has been conducting research and development of separators with the objective of suppressing precipitation of dendrites, that is the major cause of deterioration of lithium ion batteries (LIB) and lithium metal batteries, together with Professor Kiyoshi Kanamura of Tokyo Metropolitan University. The 3DOM separator that has been developed has polyimide resin with high heat resistance as the base material and has the structure of spherical pores that are orderly connected three-dimensionally, thus realizing uniform current distribution, contributing to suppress the precipitation of dendrites.
As a result, practical commercialization of lithium metal batteries with high energy density, which has long been believed to be difficult, has now become a reality, dramatically improving the life of secondary batteries. This technology has been adopted by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) as its Phase D project that aims at commercializing promising technologies into practical use, as the technology was recognized as the breakthrough technology of batteries.
