The power battery revolution will be in the future?

Today, as new energy vehicles mature, power drives dominate the mainstream, and the quality of batteries is especially important. The cruising range, charging time, battery life, etc. are the most concerned issues for people to buy electric vehicles.

For example, Tesla has the strongest endurance. The ModelSP90D has a cruising range of only 557km, and even if it is fast charging, it needs 4.5h, so people's travel restrictions are basically within 300km. This means that who can solve the problem of battery life as soon as possible. Who can get the key to open the door of new energy vehicles?

According to foreign media reports, in order to allow electric vehicles to obtain longer cruising range, Japan's two major automakers Toyota and Nissan are working on battery technology to lead the battery revolution. This month, Toyota and Nissan announced their R&D results respectively, and the two companies' next-generation intensive energy storage power group can provide longer-lasting driving force for electric and hybrid vehicles.

Nissan began to use amorphous carbon monoxide as an additive to improve the performance of current lithium batteries and expand energy storage capacity. In the past, it was difficult to find a way to use this material because it was impossible to accurately measure the atomic structure of "amorphous silicon monoxide". Nissan researchers have solved this problem by discovering a new method to analyze the atomic properties of this substance. This technology opens the door to the use of new chemical elements to make electric vehicle batteries with longer cruising range.

Since most of the electric vehicle batteries on the market now use lithium battery technology, this technology is very suitable for the market, just like its windmill type. Although it is currently the best-selling electric car in the world, it is still limited by the cruising range. Relatively few, so this achievement may be a big boost to reverse the situation.

Toyota is researching a new material battery that replaces the lithium electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries with magnesium electrolytes. Toyota believes that magnesium is safer and more stable than lithium. Lithium itself is an unstable metal element and is prone to fire. Moreover, magnesium can allow for dense energy storage, which opens up the possibility of storing power groups for dense energy sources.

Toyota's new material battery, it’s safer and more stable battery life is a very urgent technology for electric vehicle batteries. If this research can be applied to the new energy vehicle field, it will be a major revolution, but Toyota said that this A technology can take up to 20 years to be used on a large scale.

However, as far as the current car development situation is concerned, just as Toyota gives a large-scale investment in the use of magnesium material batteries, it may take 20 years to start. Now more cars are driven by gasoline, and hybrid power is only here. It is the smoothest transitional way, which not only meets the problem of energy saving and emission reduction, but also does not limit people's travel range.

However, in addition to helping the cost of environmental vehicles, new energy vehicles are most likely to receive substantial government subsidies and get licenses， which has the advantage that traditional cars cannot match. Therefore, the rapid arrival of the battery revolution is not only a car company, but also our consumers have high expectations.
