Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Chinese military chemical power Honorary Director of Research and Development Center Major General Yang Yusheng days to visit and inspect the base of the Group of a new
battery, and with days to the Group Chairman of the Board of China’s Zhang Tianren prospects for the development of new energy battery made by the exchange and explore days to group vice president Yangyuan Ling, deputy chief engineer of any fu, Investment Director, Zhi-Kun Wang, as well as well-known Chinese expert Dr. Cao Gaoping electrochemical join in the discussion. Academician Yang believes that from the country, the overall national interests and economic development, to consider the development of China’s new energy battery. The prospects for the future development of lithium
batteries good, but the main problems is the battery safety and compliance rates, lead-acid batteries in electric vehicles and much to offer the field of storage batteries, the key is to continue to do technical progress and environmental protection .
Lead-acid batteries have great vitality and there will be new as
Academician Yang explained that 150 years experience of lead-acid battery that does not weaken the nickel - cadmium batteries, nickel - hydride batteries, lithium-ion batteries and other new batteries have listed several decades, still firmly occupy the majority of market share; China Electric Bicycle produce nearly 20 million, most equipped with lead-acid batteries; the world a variety of diesel locomotives, each one is to use a lead-acid battery, It is no accident. In addition to its technology is mature, inexpensive and low grid, high security and other traditional outstanding merits, and it has developed in recent years in the competition are closely related to many new technologies, such as three-dimensional and two-three-dimensional structure of electrodes and the whole sealed tube, and so was the new structure; the use of new lead alloy electrode, can promote a gradual increase in specific energy and cycle life of up to 4500 times (70% DOD). Lead-acid “Super Battery” is also one of them the latest technology. Therefore, lead-acid batteries are not outdated, lead-acid batteries with new technologies.
What is a lead-acid “super batteries”? The so-called lead-acid “super batteries”, UltraBattery, is the super-capacitor in parallel with the use of lead-acid batteries (can be referred to as “outside and”), evolution as a “domestic, and” (lead-acid battery with a carbon supercapacitor combination), is to electric double layer capacitors with high specific power, long life advantages of integration into the lead-acid batteries, while maintaining “outside and” increase the power, extend battery life while the merits of simplifying the circuit can improve the specific energy, and reduce the total cost. It has been great development of China’s electric bicycles and electric vehicles are being launched, you will have an enormous economic and social benefits. Lead-acid “super cell” There are two key technologies, one for sulfuric acid electrolyte capacitors, high-performance carbon materials, and second, capacitor anode of carbon and lead compound.
In the combination of a variety of new technology, lead-acid battery energy density can be increased to 60-80wh/kg, power can be increased to 600-700w, which has close to Li-ion battery of technical indicators.
863 plan should support the technological development of lead-acid batteries
Recently, the U.S. President Barack Obama announced that 2.4 billion dollars allocated to support the U.S. 48 project development, “the next generation of batteries and electric vehicles” production, including the lead-acid battery, arranged respectively by the 34.3 million U.S. dollars and 32.5 million U.S. dollars to support the two companies Lead the development of “super cells” project. Remarkably, the plan made no mention of hydrogen batteries and fuel cells.
YANG Yu-sheng Academy called it “a monk recite the sutras,” can be moved to China’s “Buddha”, no longer lead-acid batteries bias, it should be solid support for a lead-acid batteries. Academician Yang suggested that China’s 863 plan should be clear support for lead-acid “super batteries”, not hesitation. To this end, he suggested the Government to produce 45 million yuan (equivalent to the United States, 1 / 10), support the 2,3-producing - research portfolio, and corporate matching funds of 1:1, with two years to develop lead-acid “Super Battery” and the capacitor carbon, and formed a certain scale production capacity. This is also to address the financial crisis, stimulating domestic demand, one of the best moves.
Lithium battery is the future direction of development, but technology still needs to be improved
Academician Yang that lithium is a good direction, but must first solve the security and compliance rates.
The safety of lithium has been concern for everyone. 2009 cell phone battery exploded in China, seven times, three people died, technically speaking, mobile phone lithium batteries are relatively simple, there is no serial, parallel problems. It is understood that the energy of lithium batteries cell phone is probably the 2wh, according to international statistics, the probability of explosion is 1/10000000, while a bus is probably the energy of lithium batteries 200,000 wh, if the number of hours and mobile phones according to Watts Lithium the battery compared to the probability of explosion may be 1%, it can not be ignored. Li-ion battery industry in order to really solve the security problems the battery, otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable. In the end is pretty important, or important to safety, industry people should pay attention to.
The second is the qualified rate of lithium batteries. In addition to large-capacity lithium-ion battery technology to enhance, but also further enhance the authentic rate.
Pure electric vehicles of the most energy-saving emission reduction
The bottleneck is the development of electric vehicle concept, rather than simply technology. The various types of electric vehicles, the biggest advantage of pure electric vehicles: First, do not have oil, 1 million pure electric cars to replace gasoline per day 10,000 tons; second is pollution-free; third, the whole cost (purchase price + energy prices ) it may be lower than fuel cars; 4 is a simple structure, no asphalt roads and waterways, use, maintenance convenience; 5 battery may be used at night cheap “Valley Electric” and the ready-made grid line charge, both to promote the “Valley Electric” (mainly nuclear power and wind power), for the power grid, “distributed peak-shaving”, but also save a lot of funding for the building of energy storage power station.
Leaps and bounds in China should give priority to the development of a single charge can travel 150-200 kilometers of pure electric vehicles.
In addition, applied to a variety of motive power of electric vehicles have room for development, all kinds of batteries to “each party can and fair competition.”
Lead-acid batteries in the field of new energy-scale energy storage has the competitive edge
On China’s new energy development, Academician Yang pointed out that the size of lead-acid battery energy storage in the field of competitive advantage. In the field of new energy storage batteries, which the industry has completed a long cycle life of lead-acid batteries are used in electric power storage system test. The system with the overall power supply system connected to peaking operation. Test of power storage system, three units were the maximum power 100kW, 100kW, 400kW, two and a half of continuous operation, no drop in battery voltage, voltage difference between the increase in issues such as the system running well. Identified lead-acid battery power storage system’s practicality.
Meanwhile, the development of new energy storage batteries must consider the cost and life expectancy, stable performance, lead-acid batteries at low prices. China Research Institute of Chemical Defense Military Chemical Power Research and Development Center has studied the military battery decade, has accumulated a battery needs proof, the overall research, technology development experience, special attention to the development of large-scale energy storage battery technology, in particular, recommended lead-acid batteries in The application in this field.
Lead-acid battery industry should pay attention to prevention and control of lead contamination
It comes a lead-acid batteries, lead is often said that there must be environmental pollution problems. In fact, lead-acid battery is the highest recovery rate of all cell types, but also lead to the production process of large enterprises has also been strictly controlled. To effectively solve the smelting of lead ore mining and waste battery recycling in the lead and acid contamination; as long as a serious and responsible step up environmental protection departments, enterprises attach importance to the implementation of environmental protection measures, the problem is not difficult to resolve.
Currently lead battery industry should strive to achieve from a lead mining, battery production and recycling of old batteries fully enclosed operation, this can minimize lead pollution. Why did not pollute the environment of nuclear power concerns, because the raw materials of nuclear power from uranium mining to recycling, the whole process of environmental protection are doing very well. Lead-acid battery industry chain can learn from the experience of nuclear power production.
Two new lead-acid “super cell” within the lead-much less than the existing lead-acid batteries, longer life but also reduce the workload of regeneration, which are of direct benefit to reduce lead contamination.
Lead-acid battery production equipment to achieve the localization
Finally, Academician Yang talked about the localization of equipment lead-acid battery problem. He said that now the new lead-acid batteries (eg, tubular cells) and the old battery recycling business equipment, many are using imported equipment. Expensive imported equipment, prevent large-scale popularization and application. China’s battery firms imported production equipment, we must consider the localization of equipment as soon as possible. Import of equipment at home is a good opportunity, but also promoting China’s battery industry technological advancement opportunities. Equipment prices down, the companies can use the advanced non-pollution equipment. Those who hope that China will work together to lead-acid battery industry, from exploration to the old battery recycling throughout the process, as early as possible to plan and promote the localization of equipment.
