Accelerate the exploration of new 402030 battery technology routes

[Phenomenon] From mobile phones, computers, wearable devices, to new energy vehicles and electric bicycles, lithium batteries are widely used. While market demand is growing, lithium batteries themselves also have disadvantages such as high production costs and small reserves of key raw materials, forcing some companies to speed up the search for alternative technical methods and turn their attention to new batteries such as magnesium, zinc, and sodium. Some media pointed out that the global competition around lithium 402030 battery substitutes has begun.

[Comment]

Due to its advantages such as high energy density, high output power, and long cycle life, lithium batteries have become the mainstream of today's 402030 battery industry. It should also be noted that lithium batteries are resource-sensitive products. The distribution concentration of their key raw materials such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium is relatively high and they show the characteristics of resource monopoly, which is easy to form external dependence on resources. Self-control is the premise of development. It is necessary to accelerate the exploration of alternative technology routes and make the first move.

Based on many considerations, new batteries such as magnesium, zinc, and sodium are expected to become substitutes or important supplements for lithium batteries in the future. Studies have found that the theoretical volume energy density of magnesium ions is almost twice that of lithium, which may provide high energy density for batteries. Zinc batteries have attracted attention due to their high safety. Zinc batteries use aqueous solutions as electrolytes, replacing traditional organic solvents, which greatly reduces the risk of 402030 battery fires. Although sodium batteries cannot match lithium batteries in terms of energy density, they have cost advantages. Since most of the equipment used to manufacture sodium batteries and lithium batteries is similar, existing lithium 402030 battery companies can easily switch to manufacturing sodium batteries, thereby greatly reducing production costs.

Although new batteries are popular, they are still far from true industrialization. From the current development situation, whether it is magnesium batteries, zinc batteries or sodium batteries, there are still many problems to be solved in terms of technology and materials. Taking magnesium batteries as an example, the low activity of the element itself, coupled with the difficulty in developing highly compatible electrolytes, makes it difficult to obtain good electrochemical performance. Therefore, while accelerating the layout of various alternative technical methods, it is imperative to further tap the potential of lithium 402030 battery performance and improve product quality.

Behind the booming rise of new batteries, thanks to the rapid expansion of two emerging markets, new energy vehicles and energy storage industries. In recent years, my country's new energy vehicles have maintained a high-speed growth. In 2021, the market penetration rate exceeded 13%. It is expected that by 2035, the sales of new energy vehicles will account for more than 60%. The annual increase in sales will inevitably drive the demand for power lithium batteries to continue to rise. On the other hand, in the context of promoting the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, the proportion of renewable energy represented by wind power and photovoltaics in the energy structure will continue to increase. By the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the proportion of renewable energy power generation capacity in my country's total power installed capacity will exceed 50%. It is necessary to vigorously develop the energy storage industry to peak and regulate the frequency of power grid operation, which will become another pole to drive the consumption of new energy storage batteries.

Today, sustainable development has become a consensus, and research on lithium batteries and their alternative technologies is in full swing in developed countries. Challenges are also opportunities. my country has the advantages of a complete industrial chain of lithium batteries and the first-mover advantage of new energy vehicles formed globally, which are gradually gathering into huge potential for industrial development. Only by improving the strategic positioning of the industry, strengthening policy support, innovation-driven, and global layout can the competitive advantage be truly transformed into leading strength.
