BXBX NOVEL Chapter 449: Powerful sulfide solid-state lithium battery!
This reporter is short in stature, with some Japanese on his clothes. He looks like a reporter from an island country.
I saw the reporter from the island country ask after receiving the microphone:
"Mr. Lin Xuan, now that New Century Battery Energy Company has been established, it is said that 235wh/kg ternary polymer lithium batteries will be launched soon. I am afraid that the good days of your sodium-ion batteries are coming to an end.
In the face of the powerful ternary polymer lithium battery, your sodium-ion battery is completely crushed and cannot hold its head up. I am afraid that your huge investment at the beginning will be wiped out.
I wonder if you, Hantang Technology, regret spending huge funds on the research and development of sodium-ion batteries and building a huge sodium-ion battery factory? "
Hearing the reporter's words, the reporters at the scene pointed their cameras and camera lenses at Lin Xuan one after another, trying to capture Lin Xuan's regretful expression, so that they could interview the hot news all over the world.
After all, the ternary polymer lithium battery of New Century Battery Energy Company is too powerful. On such a powerful battery, the energy density of Hantang Technology's sodium-ion battery is too low.
It can be said that once the ternary polymer lithium battery in the new century is released, the market positioning and sales of Tang Technology's sodium-ion battery will suffer great setbacks.
Faced with this situation, in the imagination of his reporters, Lin Xuan would definitely show a regretful expression.
However, at this time, Lin Xuan smiled under the surprised eyes of the reporters:
“First of all, this reporter may have confused the operating mechanism of the market. First of all, the stronger the performance of a thing, the better it can defeat the world’s invincible opponents, making other products completely extinct and unable to survive.
In this world, there will always be mid-range, high-end and low-end products. What is the biggest advantage of Hantang Technology’s sodium-ion batteries? Different people have different opinions.
But in my eyes, the biggest advantage of sodium-ion batteries is the low cost, the second is the long service life, and the second is the energy density! "
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, all the reporters at the scene showed expressions of astonishment.
Didn’t expect that in Lin Xuan’s eyes, the price factor of sodium-ion batteries is the most important factor, followed by the lifespan, and the energy density is only the third? !
At this moment, the reporters all looked at Lin Xuan in astonishment, not knowing why Lin Xuan had such a view.
In this regard, Lin Xuan showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then explained:
“You only pay attention to the point of the strongest performance, but you don’t know the market positioning.
From the beginning of the research and development of sodium-ion batteries, we have positioned it to serve the low-end and alternative markets. As for the current sales in the mid-end market, this is a surprise.
Because of the mid-range and high-end, it will be played by our all-solid-state lithium battery of Hantang Technology, so our goal has never deviated. "
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the reporters at the scene showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
It turns out that Hantang Technology’s positioning of sodium-ion batteries is only for the low-end. In this case, the performance of the ternary polymer lithium battery of New Century Battery Energy Company has nothing to do with sodium-ion batteries.
Because the performance of the ternary polymer lithium battery is strong, it cannot enter the low-end market. After all, the positive electrode material in the ternary polymer lithium battery uses various rare elements, such as precious metals such as germanium and titanium.
These precious metals naturally limit their selling price due to the price of their raw materials.
So they can only enter the mid-end market at most, but they cannot enter the low-end market, and cannot compete with sodium-ion batteries!
The reporters who thought of this all showed suddenly enlightened expressions,
Regarding this, Lin Xuan did not stop his words, only to see that he pondered for a while, and then slowly said:
“In addition to the differentiated competition formed by market positioning, the life expectancy that I value most is our natural advantage.
You may not know that the service life of ternary polymer lithium battery is not long, the number of charging and discharging cycles is only between 800 and 1200, and the service life is also between 4 and 8 years on average. The longer the service life, the better the performance of the battery. will become lower and lower.
In this case, although the energy density of the ternary polymer lithium battery is very high, it is difficult to serve some special markets, such as the energy storage market of the power grid. "
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, many people at the scene showed expressions of sudden realization, but there were also many people showing expressions of bewilderment. They didn't know why Lin Xuan specifically mentioned the grid energy storage market.
At this time, they don't know that the grid energy storage market can swallow up 52% of the country's total production capacity in later generations, and it is a major source of profit for battery companies!
However, even now, the grid energy storage market accounts for a relatively large proportion of sales.
However, many people don't know about this news, only some reporters know about the cooperation between Hantang Technology and major power grid companies in Daxia.
At this time, the microphone came into the hands of the next reporter. The reporter's equipment had traditional characters, and it looked like a reporter from Bay Island.
"Mr. Lin Xuan, do you think your all-solid-state lithium battery or New World Battery Energy's all-solid-state lithium battery will be stronger in the future?"
Hearing what the reporter said, other reporters at the scene also cast their curious eyes on Lin Xuan. I don't know what answer Lin Xuan will have to this question?
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then said slowly:
“At present, there are three research and development lines for all-solid-state lithium batteries in the world, namely oxide, polymer and sulfide.
Polymers and oxides are the easiest types to produce research results, but they all have different defects.
Among them, polymer is the easiest route to produce results, but its upper limit of energy density is not high, only about 300wh/kg.
The second thing that is easy to produce results is the oxide circuit, but the defect of the oxide circuit is that a large amount of rare metals such as germanium and titanium are used, and its price is destined to be relatively high, and the total market volume in the future will be relatively limited. "
Hearing this, the people at the scene nodded slightly.
After Lin Xuan's explanation at this time, they had a little understanding of all-solid-state lithium batteries.
It turns out that the battery development line of New Century Battery Energy Company has a defect. The defect is that they use a lot of rare metals such as germanium and titanium. The future price is destined to be more expensive, and the future market volume will be relatively limited.
Hearing this, they were a little curious about the last circuit, that is, the sulfide circuit. I wonder how about the sulfide all-solid-state lithium battery circuit chosen by Hantang Technology?
In this regard, Lin Xuan smiled and said in the eyes of people's curiosity:
"Our Hantang Technology chose the last line, which is only the development line of sulfide solid-state lithium batteries. The sulfide line is the most difficult to develop among the three lines, but the one with the strongest comprehensive battery performance!
