With the advancement of lithium titanate industrialization process, the overall decline in costs, as well as the increase in energy density, lithium titanate in the airport ferry, urban buses, urban logistics vehicles and other markets have a significant advantage. The value of a commodity, in a literal sense, refers to the evaluation of the satisfaction degree of the demand between the object of a commodity and the subject associated with it.
Marx deepened the concept in capital, arguing that commodity value refers to the non-differentiated human labor condensed in commodities, which is essentially embodied in a certain social relationship between producers. Throughout human history, we have experienced two magnificent industrial revolutions, the first driving force on the surface is the steam engine, the essence is coal; The second driving force on the surface is electricity, which is essentially oil.
From firewood to coal to oil, the history of mankind has been altered by fossil energy, and the future of mankind is tied to renewables. Jeremy Rivkin in the third industrial Revolution, the third industrial revolution is the combination of energy Internet and regenerative energy led to human production and life, social and economic major changes. The third industrial revolution has begun, and is imminent. It has five pillars: first, the transition to non-renewable energy; Second, the transformation of buildings on each continent into micro-power plants for the local collection of renewable energy sources; Third, the use of hydrogen and other storage technologies in every building and infrastructure to store intermittent energy sources; Four, the use of Internet technology to transform the power grid on each continent into an energy sharing network, transfer surplus, reasonable allocation of use;
Five, the means of transport to plug-in and fuel cell power vehicles, the required power supply from the above grid.
Energy storage technology played a key role in Jeremy Rivkin's vision of the third industrial Revolution. Energy storage technology has been developed so far, for different fields, different needs, people have proposed and developed a variety of storage technology to meet the application.
Global energy storage technology mainly has physical energy storage, chemical energy storage (such as sodium sulfur batteries, all vanadium liquid flow batteries, lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, etc.), electromagnetic energy storage and phase change energy storage and other categories. Comparatively speaking, lithium-ion battery energy storage is the most feasible technical route in the development of energy storage products at present. Lithium-ion battery has the advantages of large energy density, small self-discharge, no memory effect, wide operating temperature range, fast charge and discharge, long service life, no environmental pollution and so on, known as Green Battery.
At present, under the impetus of Tesla, BYD, Banlone and other enterprises, the trend of lithium-ion batteries becoming the mainstream battery technology of energy storage is becoming more and more obvious.
At present, lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in the field of new energy, mainly have ternary lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries and lithium titanate batteries. The development of the ternary lithium battery industry is more advanced in Korea, Japan and China. Due to the high density of ternary lithium battery, the mileage is relatively long, and its application in passenger car field is remarkable.
However, its safety, high temperature resistance, life and other aspects of the shortcomings, in 2016, the Ministry of Technology and Technology once suspended the ternary lithium battery bus included in the new Energy vehicle application of the recommended model catalogue, and in 2017 officially released Sanyuan lithium battery bus use, but to meet the "electric bus safety technical conditions." At present, the United States, Canada and China are the main countries that have more mature mass production technology in the field of lithium iron phosphate. Compared with ternary lithium battery, lithium iron phosphate battery because of the stable safety performance, good high temperature performance, light weight and other advantages, is widely used in pure electric passenger cars.
However, its low temperature performance, cathode material vibration density and other aspects of the shortcomings, in terms of work efficiency does not have an advantage. There is also a current market-focused battery-lithium titanate battery. At present, there are only two enterprises with lithium titanate materials and the achievement of power and industrial applications, Toshiba of Japan and China Yinlong. Lithium titanate Battery is the longest life, the highest safety battery in lithium, and can achieve 6 minutes fast filling, -50℃-60℃ resistance to wide temperature. On the life cycle, the ordinary lithium-ion battery is about 1000-2000 cycles, while lithium titanate is 30,000 cycles, 15 times times the former.
But the battery of this material has a natural flaw: low energy density, restricting its mileage, the characteristics of lithium titanate fast charging and very good to make up for its mileage is not enough short plate, is currently favored in the commercial vehicle market. With the increasingly serious situation of ecological environment and climate change, the energy revolution characterized by the priority development of renewables has become an inevitable trend. A difficult reality to ignore is that, regardless of the technology, new energy sources are not yet a complete substitute for traditional fossil energy sources. The innovation of new energy technologies also needs to be promoted by society, industry and enterprises, and the industry should look at any emerging technology from a development perspective.
The advantage difference of each technology must exist with its corresponding market, the market is the real touchstone of technology.
With the advancement of lithium titanate industrialization process, the overall decline in costs, as well as the increase in energy density, lithium titanate in the airport ferry, urban buses, urban logistics vehicles and other markets have a significant advantage.
In addition to the above ternary lithium, lithium iron phosphate, lithium titanate, the future energy storage technology will be further diversified, such as the upcoming market-oriented fuel cells, will provide users with more choices.
What is the value of a lithium-ion battery that doesn't look perfect, depending on our vision, whether it's confined to the surface of the eye, or an insight into the real meaning of the long term?
Energy storage technology is of great significance to the energy revolution, and it is Banlone, Tesla, a company that holds the world's leading core technology, that continues to break through in the field of new energy, providing a strong support for the energy revolution. What is the value of lithium batteries?
