Cheaper and safer sodium ion batteries may become a new track for energy overtaking in China.

  The core of the new round of energy revolution is renewable energy generation and large-scale energy storage. Among many electrochemical energy storage technologies, sodium ion battery is one of the ideal choices for large-scale energy storage because of its rich resources, low cost, high safety, high conversion efficiency, flexibility, convenience, easy integration, fast response and maintenance-free.

  — — Hu Yongsheng, researcher of Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, founder and chairman of Zhongke Haina.

  Recently, high-tech enterprises such as Zhongke Haina Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhongke Haina) and Huayang New Materials Technology Group Co., Ltd. hatched by Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences signed a contract with the Management Committee of Shanxi Transformation Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone to build a production line for anode and cathode materials of sodium ion batteries with an annual output of 2,000 tons in Taiyuan.

  On February 20th, Hu Yongsheng, a researcher at the Institute of Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the founder and chairman of Zhongke Haina, said in an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter that China’s sodium ion batteries are in the forefront of the world in terms of technology research and development such as material system and battery comprehensive performance, as well as in terms of industrialization speed, demonstration application, patent layout and standard formulation, and have already had the first-Mover advantage.

  New energy nova is accelerating on the road of industrialization.

  The development of fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas has led to the rapid development of human society, and the progress of modern non-fossil energy is also triggering a new round of energy revolution. Who will be the protagonist this time?

  The voice of lithium-ion batteries is very high. However, when lithium-ion batteries are widely used in more and more fields in China, an unavoidable problem is becoming more and more worrying — — China’s lithium resources are highly dependent on imports. It is necessary to develop energy storage battery technology which does not depend on rare resources and has low cost.

  Sodium ion battery, which is closest to lithium ion battery technology, has begun to emerge. In recent years, related achievements with independent intellectual property rights have emerged continuously. Intelligent electric bicycles, low-speed electric vehicles, home energy storage cabinets, energy storage power stations and sightseeing electric vehicles in parks/scenic spots with sodium ion batteries as the "heart" have come out one after another, and many achievements have been released for the first time in the world.

  In the "Top Ten Scientific Progress in China in 2020" recently organized by the High-tech Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, sodium ion battery research was selected as 30 candidate results.

  As a new star of new energy, sodium ion battery is accelerating on the road of industrialization, or it will become an opportunity for China to lead a new round of energy revolution.

  "Sodium" attracts talents to make up for the lack of "lithium"

  Globally, the distribution of lithium resources is extremely uneven, with about 70% distributed in South America. Available data show that at present, 80% of lithium resources in China depend on imports.

  "Although lithium-ion batteries have become ‘, which accounts for 80% of the global electrochemical energy storage scale market; Absolute first brother ’ However, the scarcity of its resources and high cost have led to the large-scale development of its industry facing the ceiling. " Hu Yongsheng said in an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter.

  How to solve the problem? It is urgent to find a cheap substitute.

  Therefore, sodium ion batteries with the same working principle and similar battery components as lithium ion batteries have ushered in a great development opportunity.

  Similar to lithium-ion batteries, sodium ion batteries rely on the reversible stripping and embedding of sodium ions between positive and negative electrodes to realize the storage and output of electric energy.

  Sodium resources are extremely abundant in the earth’s crust, and the abundance of the earth’s crust is more than 1000 times that of lithium. Sodium ion batteries have shown significant advantages in cost. If the same energy is stored, the cost will be about 30% less than that of lithium ion batteries. Because of the similar battery structure, most of the existing lithium ion battery production equipment can be directly put into the production of sodium ion batteries, which further improves the cost control.

  In the process of industrialization, low price is very important, but good quality is more important. Hu Yongsheng told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that the comprehensive performance of sodium ion batteries shows multiple advantages.

  With the deepening of research, researchers found that sodium ion batteries have good power characteristics, wide temperature range adaptability, safety performance and no discharge problems. In addition, both the anode and cathode of the sodium ion battery can adopt aluminum foil current collectors, which can further improve the energy density of the sodium ion battery and make the sodium ion battery move towards the direction of low cost, long life, high specific energy and high safety.

  Hu Yongsheng, for example, now commonly used mobile phone lithium-ion batteries can be fully charged in about one hour, while sodium-ion batteries can be fully charged in ten minutes or even less. It is frequently reported that lithium-ion batteries go on strike at low temperature in winter, while the discharge characteristics of sodium-ion batteries are still very good in the environment as low as -30℃ and as high as 80℃, which shows that they are environmentally friendly, very "sturdy" and can withstand tossing. "We have done experiments, using a steel needle to pierce the sodium ion battery, artificially shorting it, and found that there was no fire or explosion."

  Cheap, "sturdy" and safe, sodium ion batteries are likely to become an important supplementary technology for lithium ion batteries in the future.

  Breaking the technical bottleneck and broadening the application scope

  Positive electrode, negative electrode and electrolyte are the three elements of sodium ion battery. Among them, most cathode materials face bottlenecks such as poor stability, short cycle life and high cost.

  In order to solve these problems, the research team of Hu Yong Sheng bypassed the high-priced elements such as nickel and cobalt, which are commonly used as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, and used common elements such as copper, iron and manganese, and developed a layered oxide cathode material system for sodium-ion batteries with low cost, high stability and long service life.

  Previously, the team cooperated with international scholars and published the research results on the cathode materials of sodium ion batteries for the first time in Science magazine.

  Relying on the sodium ion battery technical team of the Institute of Physics, Zhongke Haina was established in 2017, becoming the first high-tech enterprise in China to focus on the R&D and production of sodium ion batteries. At present, Zhongke Haina has been financed twice, totaling 58 million yuan, for pilot technology development, and has built a 100-ton pilot test line for anode and cathode materials of sodium ion batteries and a million ampere-hour battery core line, and developed many products, such as soft bags, aluminum shells and cylindrical batteries, with energy density of 100— Between 150 watt-hours per kilogram, it is more than 3 times that of lead-acid battery, and its cycle life is more than 4500 times. Not long ago, the Science and Technology Cooperation Center of Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission organized an expert group to accept the project it undertook. The evaluation given by the expert group was that the relevant technical indicators reached the international leading level.

  At the end of 2017, the team developed a 48V/10Ah sodium ion battery pack for electric bicycles; In 2018, the team developed a 72V/80Ah sodium ion battery pack and launched the world’s first sodium ion battery electric vehicle.

  It is reported that the team has obtained more than 20 patents authorized by China on key materials such as positive electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte, additives and adhesives (some patents have been authorized by the United States, Japan and the European Union), and published more than 100 papers in academic magazines such as Science and Nature, which have been cited for more than 10,000 times.

  These scientific research achievements will also play the role of engines, and will be transformed in a series of incubation enterprises such as Zhongke Haina, providing inexhaustible power for the commercial development of sodium ion batteries.

  High hopes are placed on scale energy storage.

  Climate change is a global problem facing human beings, so China has put forward the goal of carbon neutrality in 2030 peak carbon dioxide emissions and 2060, which also means that China’s economy and society will usher in a comprehensive low-carbon change.

  In 2017, Chen Liquan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, put forward the idea of "electric China". This coincides with China’s advocacy of building a global energy internet to meet global power demand in a clean and green way.

  So, here’s the problem.

  Solar energy and wind energy are the main renewable new energy sources to generate electricity, but they are random, intermittent and fluctuating. Solar panels can generate electricity in sunny days and during the day, but on cloudy days and at night, they "stop eating". Wind power generation is also closely related to wind power and weather. However, nowadays, we can’t leave electricity for a moment, and we can’t stand the days when electricity is only available when the weather is "awesome".

  There is an urgent need for large-scale energy storage devices, mainly energy storage power stations, to store surplus electric energy and use it when power generation is insufficient to ensure a stable supply of electricity.

  At present, the lithium-ion battery is the "first brother" in the energy storage demonstration power station. However, due to various restrictions mentioned above, the lithium-ion battery cannot support the two huge markets of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage at the same time. Therefore, Academician Chen Liquan and researcher Hu Yongsheng have high hopes on the sodium-ion battery.

  In 2019, Zhongke Haina launched the world’s first 100 kWh sodium ion battery energy storage power station, which realized the demonstration application of sodium ion battery in large-scale energy storage for the first time.

  "peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality are China’s solemn commitments and opportunities to lead the third energy revolution." Hu Yongsheng pointed out that the core of the new round of energy revolution is renewable energy power generation and scale energy storage. At present, the former is close to maturity, while the latter is still developing. Among many electrochemical energy storage technologies, sodium ion battery is one of the ideal choices for scale energy storage because of its rich resources, low cost, high safety, high conversion efficiency, flexibility, convenience and easy integration, fast response speed and maintenance-free.

  Due to the huge energy storage market and industrial demand, combined with China’s perfect lithium-ion battery industry chain, sodium ion batteries have already had the conditions to take the lead in realizing industrialization and commercialization in China.

  "I believe that with the strong support of the top-level planning and related policies of governments at all levels in China, with the collaborative innovation of production, learning and research and the promotion of social capital, sodium ion batteries will surely play an important role in achieving the goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality." Hu Yongsheng said.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of skipping rope VS running? Which sport do you choose?

Skipping rope VS running, what are their advantages and disadvantages? Which sport should you choose to lose weight?

Skipping rope and running are very common aerobic exercises, which can help us lose weight, improve cardiopulmonary function and enhance physical fitness.

However, they are also different in many ways.Next, let’s discuss the advantages and disadvantages of skipping rope and running, and how to make a decision when choosing a weight loss exercise.

First, let’s look at the advantages of skipping rope:

1. Skipping rope is a very convenient and flexible sport. You don’t need too much space. You only need a rope to start exercising anytime and anywhere.

2, skipping rope can exercise the whole body muscle groups, including arms, abdomen, legs and other parts, which helps to improve the coordination and sensitivity of the body.

3. Sticking to skipping rope can also promote blood circulation, improve the body’s oxygen intake, effectively improve cardiopulmonary function and enhance the ability of the heart and lungs.

4, skipping exercise is more flexible, there are a variety of ways to play, which is more interesting, and can also help you lose weight and help you burn calories quickly.

However, skipping rope also has its disadvantages:

1. It may be difficult for some people, because it requires certain skills and balance.

2. Jumping rope requires higher vital capacity, and many novices can’t hold on for 2 minutes without panting.

3. When skipping rope, the knee needs to bear the pressure value of twice its own weight.

Next, let’s take a look at the advantages of running:

1. Running is a very low threshold aerobic exercise suitable for men, women and children. It can effectively improve the cardiopulmonary function, enhance physical fitness and lose weight.

2. Running can promote metabolism, accelerate fat burning and burn calories. Jogging for 1 hour every day can help you improve obesity.

3, running can also increase bone density, promote calcium coefficient, but also enhance the strength and endurance of leg muscles, so that your lower limbs are more flexible and powerful.

However, the disadvantages of running are also obvious:

1. Outdoor running is easily affected by the venue and weather. When the weather is too cold, the desire to run will decrease, and rainy days will also affect the enthusiasm of running.

2. Running has a great impact on joints, and the knee needs to bear 2.5-3.5 times the weight, so it may be uncomfortable for some people.

Should you choose skipping rope or running?We should make a decision according to our physical condition, interests and goals.

If you want to burn calories quickly and improve your body’s agility and coordination, skipping rope may be a better choice. If you have poor physical endurance, no sports experience and want to lose weight, then running may be more suitable for you.

No matter which sport you choose, you should pay attention to gradually increasing the intensity and time of exercise to avoid injury. At the same time, we should also pay attention to reasonable diet and rest to get the best exercise effect.

At twelve o’clock on New Year’s Eve, Shen Shizhen saw off the tourists from the south to the north to go home. They had a "Hundred Family Banquet" in the office for the New Year.

Sitting around a table with my family and eating a family reunion dinner cooked by them is probably what most people think of New Year’s Eve. However, there are a group of people who still stick to their posts on New Year’s Eve. Their persistence is to ensure the smooth travel of passengers from south to north. Kang Bin, director of the North Passenger Transport Workshop of Chongqing Railway Station, is one of them.

"The train arrived at 16: 08. Did you get all the gloves? Check it again, it’s sloppy. " At 15: 20 on January 24, Kang Bin said with a walkie-talkie. Then, he strode forward to the duty room and organized personnel to make relevant preparations.

At 15: 30, eight staff members arrived.

Wear masks, rubber gloves and goggles … Kang Bin and his colleagues skillfully put on protective tools and walked to the exit. "Everyone will be divided into 4 groups, 2 people in each group, take temperature one by one, wear protective gear and pay attention to safety." Along the way, Kang Bin kept telling the team members.

At 15: 40, all the team members are in place. Everyone stands in their positions, takes out hand-held temperature detectors, measures each other’s temperatures, and tests the instruments. After everything is in order, they wait for the outbound passengers.

At 16: 10, a large number of passengers emerged at the exit. Two staff members kept order at the scene and let everyone line up in turn. The staff members stood at the gate exit and took the temperature of each passenger. Kang Bin told chongqing morning post, an upstream news reporter, that there are now more than 40 trains that leave and stop in Wuhan every day (Wuhan keeps turning back immediately), and each train has at least 600 passengers. They have to take the temperature of the passengers on each train, and the workload is very heavy.

At 16: 30, the temperature measurement is over. Kang Bin returned to the office with the team members, took off his glasses, gloves and washed his hands … "Let’s rest for a few minutes, and the next bus is at 16: 26." Kang Bin said.

"Today, we have more than 200 people on duty, many of whom give up their vacations and rush to the front line without hesitation." Kang Bin said that at the age of 45, he is an old railway passer-by. He has been working for 23 years, and he can’t remember how many New Year’s Eve years he hasn’t been at home. Originally, he took a break on the 23rd. Because of special circumstances, he arrived at his post early at 23: 00 on the 22nd, and together with his colleagues, he went all out to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.

"On New Year’s Eve this year, another group of colleagues spent it together." Kang Bin said that this year, colleagues agreed that everyone would bring a dish and have a "hundred-family banquet" together.
