Sodium salt battery products are expected to become a new force in energy storage technology

Since the beginning of 2017, Chaowei Group has completed a series of layouts for storage of sodium salt batteries. In January 2017, Chaowei Group and General Electric Co., Ltd. jointly established a new company to focus on the production, development and sales of sodium batteries.

Superpower's sodium battery manufacturing is in full swing. According to the person in charge of the relevant departments of Chaowei Group, the related products of sodium salt batteries are already in the pilot stage, and the localization of supporting production equipment is also accelerating. At the same time, some supporting battery management systems are undergoing secondary development. Therefore, the entire production line is expected to reach production by the end of 2018.

In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have been applied to the new energy vehicle industry on a large scale, and the rising energy storage industry has also given lithium-ion batteries a new "use". However, the natural resources that make up lithium-ion batteries are limited after all. Whether the limited resources can keep pace with the development of the application field has also become one of the issues of increasing concern to the industry.

Professor Zhouhaoshen of Nanjing University and a special expert on the National Thousand People Program once said that compared with lithium, the storage of sodium on Earth is much higher than lithium, and sodium ions are made into batteries, and their energy is much higher than that of lithium ion batteries. He also said that in the future, sodium ion batteries will shine in the field of energy storage.

The security of energy storage system has always been a general concern in society. In response, the head of Chaowei Group said that the safety of sodium salt batteries has greatly improved compared to lithium ion batteries. The most intuitive point is that the sodium battery is overcharged and overcharged, and there will be no lithium ion battery explosion, fire and other phenomena.

With the maturation of sodium salt battery products, sodium salt battery is likely to become a "new force" in energy storage technology in the future.
