In the 1970s, the technology of lithium -ion battery and sodium ion battery technology was born and began to develop together. In the background of the technical background at the time, sodium ion batteries needed to solve multiple difficulties such as high temperature cycle production gas, low temperature recycling, and high -voltage cycle life. It was very difficult to apply. In contrast, there are no these problems in lithium -ion batteries, and the prospects for application are relatively bright. Therefore, many manufacturers have abandoned the research and development of sodium batteries and turned their energy to lithium batteries. Since then, sodium batteries have been left out, and lithium batteries have occupied most of the battery market.
In recent years, with the booming development of the new energy vehicle industry, the battery industry has also ushered in the golden period. With a large number of battery loading offline, the demand for battery raw materials has also increased significantly, and prices have skyrocketed, especially lithium.
The increase in costs is only one of the worries of car companies. The biggest hidden danger is that lithium resources are relatively scarce.
Relatively speaking, the content of sodium on the earth is very rich and uniform. It is not as scarce as lithium resources. This solves the problem of raw materials from the source. This is a key big problem. Secondly, sodium batteries and lithium batteries are originally started at the same time. Its manufacturing technology and processes are basically the same. Sodium batteries can perfectly undertake the production line of lithium batteries. Slim connection. In the end, the sodium reserves are very rich, the price is cheap, and the cost saves the price and drops. Considering many advantages, the research and development of sodium batteries have been re -valued.
As technology continues to update, many problems in sodium batteries will definitely be overcome one by one.
