Zinc is one of the four metals that are common in life and ranks second only to iron, aluminum and copper. In modern industry, zinc has an indelible contribution to battery manufacturing and is a very important metal. Most disposable batteries in our daily lives use cheap zinc, such as zinc-manganese batteries, which can cause corrosive damage if recharged repeatedly. Due to this characteristic, zinc batteries have been considered by the industry as difficult to manufacture batteries. However, according to reports in the international academic journal Natural Communications, a few days ago, Stanford University and Toyota Central Research Institute have jointly developed a new technology for making batteries from zinc. The needle-like substances generated during the charging of zinc are extended in a direction that does not damage the battery. The main focus of the new technology research was that of Stanford University's East-phase researchers. The research results were recognized by Nature Publishing Group. Amazingly, the new zinc battery developed by this technology uses the same raw materials as the cheap disposable battery. As we all know, the negative electrode of most disposable batteries uses cheap common zinc as a material. After repeated charging, zinc forms a needle-like substance on the surface of the negative electrode of the battery. This needle will destroy the battery structure, so the battery will not use zinc as a raw material. So how did the new type of zinc battery jointly developed by Japan and the United States achieve perfect storage of electricity? It turned out that Dong Xiang and others have studied repeatedly. After comparing the electrodes using zinc foil and copper foil, it was found that in the electroless plating-peeling cycle, galvanized dendrites in the zinc-plated battery are an important cause of power failure. Only by finding a method for controlling the transfer of ions in the battery solution, the repeated use of the zinc battery can be achieved. Inspired by this, the researchers optimized the interior of the traditional foil battery and used a built-in insulating layer method to influence the ion channel. Even when the zinc is charged, needle-like dendrite is still generated, but it is extended toward the direction that does not damage the battery. For example, in a conventional disposable battery, the dendrites grow horizontally, but in the new type of zinc batteries, the dendrites are bent and extended. Its price is less than half of the lithium battery The development of new zinc batteries does increase the types of batteries. However, in modern society, lithium batteries have become the mainstream. Do we still need to produce zinc batteries? Indeed, lithium-containing metal batteries were studied as early as 1912, and when Sony successfully developed lithium-ion batteries in 1992, lithium was widely used as an active metal. In addition to being used in life-saving pacemakers, it is also used to develop lithium manganese batteries. The promotion of the latter has led to a significant reduction in the weight and volume of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal computers, calculators, digital cameras, and even watches. In fact, the advantages of zinc-made batteries are that they are not only easier to use, but also because zinc is relatively stable in chemical properties, there is no risk of flammability and explosion, and production and storage costs are low. Studies have shown that this new type of zinc battery has comparable performance to the current general-purpose lithium battery, but its price is less than half that of a lithium battery. In addition, existing equipment can be directly used in the production process, and cost and investment are easy to control. New type zinc battery can expand the application of power storage In this year's market, the demand for eco-cars represented by electric vehicles is constantly rising, and this trend also promotes the development of lithium battery materials as a basic configuration. The global market is rapidly expanding at an annual rate of 20%. Under such circumstances, what kind of impact will the development of new batteries bring to related industries? When it comes to this issue, I have to mention the once-existing lithium battery production boom in Japan. During that time, Japanese industry achieved technical breakthroughs in terms of capacity, lifespan, charging time, and performance of lithium batteries. However, in the price war, Korean companies took the limelight. For example, in the past year, Panasonic’s battery factory in China was forced to shut down due to deteriorating operations, and Tesla’s battery orders were also lost by South Korea’s LG. At present, Samsung's battery market share in the world's electric vehicles has reached 27%, the market share of the first. At this time, the emergence of new-type zinc batteries is undoubtedly a potent agent, not only making Japan expected to once again occupy the battery technology advantages, but also making the battery production costs significantly reduced. Naturally, the bidding space for battery manufacturers will also increase accordingly, and major car companies will be able to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. In addition, the new zinc battery can expand the scope of application of power storage, make up for the weak points of solar and wind power generated by the weather, and achieve a relatively stable supply of renewable energy. On the other hand, it also poses a challenge to the high-mature lithium battery technology and urges it to further develop. Of course, the current mainstream trend still exists. The development of new-type zinc batteries takes time to accumulate, and the coexistence status of the two types of batteries will not change in a relatively long period of time.
