Post-lithium battery era will bring us more choices and better experience!

About 13.5 billion years ago, after the so-called Big Bang, matter, energy, time and space in the universe formed what they are now. These basic characteristics of the universe become "physics".

After that, about 300,000 years later, matter and energy began to form complex structures called "atoms" and then further "molecules". As for the story of these atoms and molecules and how they interact, it becomes "chemistry".

All the principles of batteries have to be elaborated through the theories of physics and chemistry, which are restricted by objective laws. Without this category, we can neither invent batteries nor use them correctly.

The research and use of batteries has a history of nearly 200 years. In large-scale commercial applications, lead-acid batteries, alkaline batteries, zinc-manganese batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries and lithium-ion batteries have penetrated into all aspects of human society and played an irreplaceable role in supporting the normal operation of industrial society.

With the expansion of economic scale, the pursuit of mobile energy storage has shown a trend of rapid growth, which also objectively promotes the development and change of battery technology. To achieve faster, stronger, longer life, safer, more environmentally friendly, and cheaper unit price.

Since SONY commercialized lithium-ion batteries in the 1990s, after more than 20 years of development, the existing electrochemical system has gradually approached the bottleneck, and will gradually enter the "post-lithium battery" era in the future. The strong demand of the market will certainly promote and promote the application of new materials, new chemical systems and new processes in the field of batteries, so as to achieve major breakthroughs.

In the battery industry, new research directions emerge in endlessly, and more promising commercial directions, such as all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries and so on. In the "post-lithium battery" era, there will be many flowers blooming and schools of thought contending, the diversity of market demand, the diversity of technology routes, combined with the geographic factors of raw material supply, which will bring us more choices and better experience.
