Why is power cell technology increasingly important?

Battery technology is becoming increasingly important in the development of new technology products such as drones and electric vehicles. As driverless technology is being widely integrated into almost the entire transport sector, battery technology will also be the key to winning future competition. Therefore, China's enterprises urgently need to fight hard to adhere to the core technological innovation breakthrough in order to win the global competitive advantage, so as not to be constrained by others.

In recent years, the development of the drone industry has been accelerating, and various types of drones have been widely used in various fields. Due to the huge market potential and advantages of drones, China and the United States and other world powers have increasingly attached importance to this area. South Korea is also increasing its investment in the hope of a share of the global market.

South Korea's drone development is in battery trouble.

The drone industry has become a major industry for the development of all countries in the world. In recent years, South Korea has also increased its investment in order to stay behind in international competition.

South Korea has also been dabbling in the latest hot "solar drones" in the field of drones. As early as 2013, KARI developed the solar drone EAV-3, which can initially fly for 24 hours.

Recently, South Korea developed a new type of drone that can fly in the stratosphere for more than a week. However, compared with similar drones in England, South Korean drones are much worse, and the Zephyr drone in England can fly for two weeks at a time.

According to researchers at the Korean Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the limited life of Korean drones is due to the limited level of lithium-ion battery technology used and the fact that the stored power is not enough to support the drone's more lastingspecial research. The more advanced lithium sulfide battery technology is in the hands of European and American companies, and is not willing to sell easily.

Battery technology or future competition in unmanned fields is the key to winning

In recent years, with the development of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, unmanned technology has been fully popularized in land, sea, and air. Unmanned vehicles, unmanned aircraft, unmanned ships, and flying vehicles have all mushroomed.

At the same time, due to the development of energy conservation and environmental protection concepts and battery technology, pure electric vehicles have also become the mainstream trend. As a result, driverless technology and pure electric concepts are accelerating the integration of pure electric driverless vehicles will "dominate" future transportation.

With this trend, the importance of battery technology will undoubtedly increase day by day. For pure electric vehicles, the existing battery technology is sufficient to ensure commercial demand because of the convenience of charging and the relatively low endurance requirements. However, unmanned aerial vehicles, especially large unmanned flying vehicles, unmanned passenger aircraft, etc., are quite demanding for endurance, and the constraints of battery technology will be fatal.

Therefore, as countries pay more attention to the development of the unmanned field, battery technology may become the key to the future competition in this field.

Master the core skills to stay out of the way.

From South Korea's example, and the analysis of the importance of battery technology, if you want to master the competitive advantage in the unmanned field, you will no longer be subject to human control. Then promote the breakthrough of battery technology and master the core technology becomes an urgent task.

China's driverless development has entered the fast track, and the country also attaches great importance to the development of the automotive battery industry. In March 2017, the State Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Action Plan for Promoting the Development of the Automobile power battery Industry to speed up the new breakthrough in China's automotive power battery industry.

According to the plan, by 2020, the total production capacity of the power battery industry will exceed 100 billion watt-hours, and a leading enterprise with a production and sales scale of 40 billion watt-hours or more will be formed with international competitiveness.

Toyota recently made a major breakthrough in battery technology, and its latest solid-state batteries are expected to drive new changes in electric vehicles and play a key role in the development of its driverless cars. This shows that the competition in the battery field is very important and fierce.

At present, the overall capacity structure of the power battery industry in China is excessive, and the innovation breakthrough of the key core technology is still lacking. With the technology upgrade of electric cars and driverless cars, the demand for batteries will also increase. Therefore, domestic battery enterprises should adhere to technological innovation, strengthen the standardization of production automation and management, put quality optimization and technological breakthroughs first, and at the same time, continue to push forward reforms by improving industrial chain construction, so as to accelerate the comprehensive transformation of the battery industry in China. It will lay an important foundation for future core industry competition.
