Under the background that new energy vehicles have attracted great attention from all parties, the entire battery industry, including lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, has been favored by capital. In the first half of this year, my country's new energy vehicle output has increased tenfold, and the corresponding battery market has also been boosted. The reporter found in the investigation and interview that the current battery industry's opinions on the development of reusable, clean and environmentally friendly batteries are quite unified, but there are different directions in the selection of specific technical routes, which will nurture multiple possibilities for China's battery industry innovation.
    New energy battery strategy is clear
    At the macro policy level, the policy positioning for the development of the battery industry under the new energy strategy has been very clear. Recently, it is reported that in order to promote the development of my country's new energy automobile industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will organize and formulate power battery development ideas, and is expected to provide strong support from industrial policies, financial subsidies, and tax incentives. Other favorable national and local policies are also constantly being introduced.
    At the Battery Technology Innovation Forum held on the 27th, both theoretical and practical circles believed that the development of new energy batteries is the only way for the country to implement new energy strategies. He Zuoxiu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that vigorously developing "hydropower + wind power + solar + pumped storage power plants" is the only option to completely solve the current energy problems in China. The battery industry needs to be developed accordingly, including energy storage batteries and new energy vehicle batteries.
    In fact, the current domestic new energy battery field has achieved rapid development. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the first half of this year, my country’s lithium-ion battery industry (including batteries, anode and cathode materials, separators, electrolytes, and special equipment, etc.) maintained stable development, with a total output value of nearly RMB 40 billion. The industrial structure and new technologies Bright spots appear in the application.
    Various technical routes are possible
    In the overall prosperity of the industry, the coexistence of multiple technical routes in the industry will nurture multiple possibilities in the industry.
    A reporter from China Securities News found in an investigation and interview that, as a mature technology, lead-acid batteries are still finding room for expansion in the market. Although partially compressed by the booming development of lithium batteries, mature and stable technology and increasing environmental standards have given the industry Leading enterprises in China have brought development opportunities. Mengshi Technology, a listed company participating in the exhibition, stated that lead-acid batteries are stable in operation and relatively safe. Currently, the industry does not need to worry about the squeezing of lithium batteries. Currently, the company has sufficient orders for lead-acid batteries. Shen Weixin, chairman of Shanghai Haibao Special Power Supply Co., Ltd., believes that after the rectification, the development of the lead-acid battery industry has gradually become more reasonable, but the industry still needs to make efforts in environmental protection and licensed production. The rapid development of the industry is still facing multiple problem.
    Aside from the battery type dispute, there are multiple technical routes in the field of lithium-ion batteries alone. Yang Li, a professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, analyzed that there are currently many technical routes in the field of lithium batteries. From the perspective of lithium-ion battery positive and negative materials and battery electrolytes, there are multiple technical routes at home and abroad. In his view, the diversification of technical routes is conducive to the highlight of innovation.
    This has also been verified in the industry. Taking the exhibitor Jiaxing ReachTop Battery Power Technology Co., Ltd. as an example, the company revealed that it has successfully developed high-quality lithium hexafluorophosphate electrolyte, which is expected to surpass the industry's leading foreign manufacturers. It is reported that the electrolyte can ensure that the battery will not be deformed under the high temperature cycle test. In addition, the company is studying and experimenting with fluorine-containing additives in lithium battery electrolytes, and it is expected to achieve better results.
