CTOnews.com, January 17 (Xinhua) due to the limited global reserves of lithium resources (the content of lithium in the earth's crust is only 0.0065%), the current trading price of lithium ore and lithium materials is so high that Zeng Qinghong, chairman of GAC GROUP, said bluntly that he was "working for the Ningde era."

In addition, the energy density of existing lithium-ion batteries is close to the theoretical limit. At present, the energy density of mainstream lithium iron phosphate batteries is below 200Wh/kg, while that of ternary lithium batteries is between 200-300Wh/kg. In this case, scientists think of another metal material-sodium.

CTOnews.com Science Popularization: sodium ranks sixth in reserves on the earth and has similar chemical properties to lithium. However, due to the disadvantage of energy density, the development of sodium ion battery is still on the eve of mass production, at least it needs to make a breakthrough in new materials and new electrolytes for storing sodium.

Of course, at present, major enterprises have aimed at this field, at least Ningde Times, BYD, Honeycomb Energy, Yiwei Lithium Energy, Chuangming Battery, Xin Wanda, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Funeng Technology and other manufacturers are involved.

In the view of the industry, 2023 may become the first year of mass production of sodium ion battery. before that, many enterprises, such as China Science and Technology, Chuanyi Technology, Penghui Energy, Funeng Technology, Huayang shares and so on, have announced that they will enter the industrialization stage in 2023.

Vico Technology said today that its sodium battery project will begin mass production at the end of June 2023. It is interested in docking customers and has not yet signed an order.

It is reported that Vico Technology Co., Ltd. is an A-share listed company with new energy lithium battery as its main business and 3C digital battery and power battery as its core business. the company's stock was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1998, referred to as "Vico Technology".
