New energyCarsIt has always been faced with range andEnergyResearchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea and Sogang University in Seoul recently announced that they have successfully developed a new type of material called "polymeric material".Batterymaterial, you can beBatteryThe range is increased to that of existing lithiumBatterymore than ten times. thisNew materialsThe ability to wrap the silicon material without being affected by its expansion and contraction during charging greatly improvesBatteryenergy storage capacity.

NewBatteryPolymeric materials are mainly used instead of the current mainstream onesGraphiteAs the anode, the combination of polymeric material and silicon material effectively solves the problem of charging and expansion of silicon material. This groundbreaking material innovation promises to bring:New energyCarsRevolution in the industry. Currently,New energyCarsThe cruising range can generally only reach 400-600 kilometers, and even the leading companies can only increase it to about 1000 kilometers. However, if the combination of polymeric materials and silicon materials really achieves the desired effect, thenNew energyCarsThe cruising range will reach an unimaginable 4000 km! This means that on a single charge, car owners can drive directly from Qingdao to Urumqi, and even do not need to charge on the way.

In addition, the application of polymeric materials to:New energyCarsThere has also been a significant improvement in safety and environmental benefits. Currently, lithiumBatteryIn order to ensure normal operation, hazardous substances such as lead and nickel as well as flammable and explosive electrolytes need to be added. These substances are potentially damaging to the environment during production and can pose a safety hazard to consumers. However, if the application of polymeric materials becomes a reality, these problems will no longer exist, and new types will be bornBatteryIt will be reliable and environmentally friendly at the same time.

NewBatteryThe advent will not only be forNew energyCarsThe industry has a huge impact and will revolutionize the electronics industry. Currently, electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and electric vehicles are limited by the storage capacity of electricity, due to the current lithiumBatteryLimitations,BatteryThe capacity has not been able to break through. However, if the polymeric materialBatteryEnterprises that can achieve mass production and the above electronic products will be able to enjoy the new model immediatelyBatterybenefits: When the time comes, mobile phones can last for a week without needing to be charged, laptops no longer need to carry bulky chargers, and electric cars can support long journeys without recharging. This will bring great convenience to consumers.

NewBatteryThe impact is not limited to the field of electronics, it will also affect the wholeNew energyThe industry has a significant impact. At present, the world's main power generation method is thermal power generation, but countries are gradually exploring itPhotovoltaic power generationmode. However,Photovoltaic power generationIt has been difficult to break through in terms of efficiency. However, onceNew materialsThe application becomes a realityPhotovoltaic power generationThere is also the possibility of a major breakthrough. withPhotovoltaic power generationThe increase in energy storage capacity and the change in the proportion of power generation mode will have a huge impact on various industries.

In addition, newBatteryThe application also brings significant opportunities for the development of the domestic industry. With the advancement of polymeric material technology and the transformation of its own industrial line, South Korea is expected to become a global leaderNew energyThe country where the product is exported. Consumers want to own mobile phones and electric vehicles that don't need to be charged, which will bring huge market opportunities to local electronics manufacturers in South Korea.

However, newBatteryThere are still many challenges to mass production. At present, the research of polymeric materials is still in the laboratory stage, and there is still a long way to go before mass production. Charging time and circuit load are newBatteryTwo big problems faced. Even if the charging infrastructure reaches 120kW, the electricity** in residential areas may not be able to meet the demand for EV charging. In addition, mass production of new products also needs to undergo safety, cost, and stability evaluation experiments, so it takes a long time to achieve mass production.

Although newBatteryThere are still many challenges, but it undoubtedly brings hope and the possibility of development. As long as the existing technical difficulties are overcome, the new typeBatteryExpected to pushNew energyCarswithNew energyThe industry moves forward and brings a more convenient and environmentally friendly lifestyle to consumers.
