Lithium battery development prospects

In order to develop varieties with better performance, people have studied various materials. Thus, unprecedented products have been produced. For example, lithium sulfur dioxide batteries and lithium thionyl chloride batteries are very unique. Their positive electrode active materials are also solvents for electrolytes. This structure only appears in electrochemical systems with non-aqueous solutions. Therefore, the research on lithium batteries has also promoted the development of electrochemical theory of non-aqueous systems. In addition to using various non-aqueous solvents, people have also conducted research on polymer thin-film batteries.
Lithium batteries are widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, uninterruptible power supplies for postal and telecommunications, as well as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields.
Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in portable appliances such as laptops, cameras, and mobile communications due to their unique performance advantages. The large-capacity lithium-ion batteries developed have begun to be tested in electric vehicles and are expected to become one of the main power sources for electric vehicles in the 21st century, and will be used in artificial satellites, aerospace and energy storage. With the shortage of energy and the pressure on environmental protection in the world. Lithium batteries are widely used in the electric vehicle industry, especially the emergence of lithium iron phosphate batteries, which has promoted the development and application of the lithium battery industry.
The "Plan" is released and is expected to change the world's lithium battery pattern
On April 18, the State Council discussed and passed the "Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2012-2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which clarified that pure electric drive is the main strategic orientation for the transformation of the automobile industry, promotes the popularization of non-plug-in hybrid vehicles, and proposes a goal of 500,000 pure electric and hybrid vehicles in 2015 and more than 5 million by 2020.
The release of the "Plan" has attracted great attention from the public. Many experts believe that this move will promote the automobile industry into a new round of development. In addition, it has also invisibly outlined a huge market outline for the power battery industry, the core component of energy-saving and new energy vehicles.
In November 2022, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology explained the formation of "dendrites" in rechargeable lithium batteries and how to prevent them from passing through the electrolyte. This discovery may eventually open the door to the design of a new type of rechargeable lithium battery
