Scientific and Technological Links from Samsung On Lithium Batteries and Graphene
(Universidad Alberto Hurtado, 2020) Moreno-Brieva, Fernando; Merino-Moreno, Carlos
Lithium and graphene are two substantial raw materials for the manufacture of lithium secondary batteries that can be recharged quickly, whenever a user needs it for the operation of computers, electric vehicles and cell phones, among other products. In this regard, Samsung appears as the world’s leading corporation, by observing the technology generation of this type of batteries and the molecule indicated previously, considering its environment and management. For this reason, the study aims to analyze and compare the effects of technological regimes on the technology generation of the leading companies of the Samsung group, as well as their networks, considering patent applications and the types of institutions related, even if there is collaboration between these companies. Our findings show that Samsung’s selected companies, related to lithium rechargeable batteries and graphene, are strongly linked to their technological regimes.
Technology Generation of Lithium Batteries in Leading Countries
(Springer, 2021) Moreno-Brieva, Fernando; Merino-Moreno, Carlos
Rechargeable lithium batteries are a key component of the global value chain of this chemical element. They have revolutionized different industries in the world (such as the automotive industry), with the intention of reducing the greenhouse effect and combating climate change. The aim of this research is to know the positioning of leading countries in the technology generation of lithium rechargeable batteries and the existing geo-strategic support between them. To achieve this purpose, we created and applied a new linear index to determine the technology regimes and the application of other known indexes (related to attractiveness, specialization and benchmarking) linked to technology generation in lithium batteries from 1993 to 2015. The main results show that China is oriented to technological regimes and that the United States, Germany, South Korea and Japan are focused on scientific regimes, and the consequences of these regimes are a direct technological competition between China and South Korea (this last country supported by Germany and Japan).
