Countries around the world are constantly running to maintain the pace of development. Many countries are just running blindly in this race, without caring about what will be the result of their blind race? After all, what is the use of such development and modernity which does not have a clean and healthy future? Along with development and progress in the present, we should not only prepare a template for the welfare of the environment and mankind, but also what legacy we will hand over to our future generations, only then in real sense we can achieve our goal of development. Will be able to achieve
Considering this principle in China, special care is taken of how to progress in the future. China is the largest solar panel manufacturer in the world which accounts for a significant portion of solar power. China had learned long ago that all the resources in the earth’s womb are limited in number, and if they continue to be exploited on this scale, then the day is not far when man will have to be deprived of them. Keeping this in mind, China has taken continuous steps to find and develop renewable energy options, as a result of which China has the world’s largest number of battery operated vehicles and charging points.
Recently, the huge reserves of Lithium found in India have been widely discussed all over the world, why not because Lithium is also called “White Gold”. But do you know that China has also got the “Patrol of the Future”. Yes, you heard it right, “Patrol of the future”, let us tell you what it is?
In fact, since the 1970s, scientists from America and Japan were trying to make sodium batteries, but they did not achieve much success, but according to the latest news, Chinese scientists have got a big success. China has figured out how to make batteries out of sodium and this is a huge achievement in the quest for renewable energy that will help reduce the world’s dependence on lithium batteries in the near future.
The world’s first and largest factory for sodium batteries is being built in Changsha city of China. It is being manufactured by the Chinese company CATL. It is believed that in the next two years, China alone will occupy 95% of the sodium battery market.
A battery made of sodium is more profitable than a lithium. Replacing lithium with sodium is a cheaper and more efficient alternative, which also has the advantage of being an abundant material. Sodium, found around the world as part of salt, sells for 1 to 3 percent the price of lithium and is chemically very similar. Recent breakthroughs mean that sodium batteries can now be recharged daily for years, reducing a major advantage of lithium batteries. The energy capacity of sodium batteries has also increased.
One of the biggest advantages of sodium batteries is that they retain almost their entire charge when the temperature drops below freezing, something lithium batteries typically do not do. Chinese battery experts say they figured out last year how to make sodium battery cells so similar to lithium that they can be made with the same equipment. Chinese giant CATL, the world’s biggest maker of electric car batteries, says it has found a way to use sodium cells and lithium cells in an electric car’s battery pack, combining the low cost and weather resistance of sodium cells. Combines with extended range. lithium cell. The company says it is now ready to mass-produce these composite battery packs.
The only problem with sodium batteries is that if they want the same amount of power as lithium, they have to grow in size. This is a problem for cars that have limited space, but not for electricity grid storage. Utilities that switch from lithium to sodium can remedy this problem by placing a battery twice as large in a vacant lot near solar panels or wind turbines.
It would not be wrong to say that Chinese scientists have worked hard to achieve this achievement and have brought this discovery and achievement to the world, which is an important contribution to the development of mankind in the near future, which will be benefited by people around the world.
