IT Home December 1st news, according to Sanxia Group , on the morning of November 29, the world's first gigawatt-hour (GWh)-grade sodium ion battery production line product offline ceremony was held in Fuyang City, Anhui Province. This production line is a phased result of the in-depth cooperation between Sanxia Energy, Sanxia Capital, the People's Government of Fuyang City, Anhui Province and Zhongke Haisodium.
According to reports, the product's downstream marks that the production line has officially achieved the ability to produce GWh-level sodium ion batteries on a large scale, and is of milestone significance in the opening of a new track in the energy storage industry and the industrialization of sodium ion batteries.
IT Home learned that in December 2021, Sanxia Energy, Sanxia Capital, the People's Government of Fuyang City, Anhui Province, and Zhongke Hainam reached a cooperation intention and signed an agreement on the world's first large-scale mass production line for GWh-level sodium ion battery in Fuyang City . After a year, the product was officially launched on .
In April this year, Shenzhen Hubble Technology Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) (referred to as "Shenzhen Hubble") under Huawei also began to deploy sodium ion batteries. invested in and invested in to invest in Zhongke Hainanula , which is the company that manufactures the production line.
At present, the industry is actively planning the research and development of sodium ion batteries. CATL officially released the first generation of sodium ion batteries in July this year, with an energy density of 160Wh/kg. is expected to form a basic industrial chain in 2023. Huang Qisen, deputy director of CATL Research Institute, said that in terms of passenger car applications, sodium ion batteries can generally meet the needs of models with a range of less than 400 kilometers and are expected to expand to 500 kilometers of models.
National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Administration also issued the "Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage in the 14th Five-Year Plan" this year, which proposed to promote diversified technology development. carries out key core technologies, equipment and integrated optimization design research on sodium ion batteries, new lithium ion batteries, , lead-carbon batteries, liquid flow batteries, compressed air, hydrogen (ammonia) energy storage, hot (cold) energy storage .
At the recent sodium ion battery industry chain and standard development forum, Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Chen Liquan said that sodium ion batteries are still in the promotion period. With the improvement of the industrial chain, the improvement of technology maturity and scale effect, the cost of sodium ion batteries is expected to be lower than 20% of lithium iron phosphate battery , which creates favorable conditions for large-scale promotion of sodium ion batteries.
Academician Chen Liquan mentioned that lithium batteries are currently the best performing secondary batteries, but due to limited lithium resources, they cannot meet the needs of electric vehicles and electric energy storage at the same time. sodium ion batteries will surely become the next generation of low-speed electric vehicles and energy storage batteries.
