Rapid development of new energy battery technology

　　In order to achieve breakthroughs in the battery field, both the battery as a whole and the components of the battery are the focus of research and development by scientific researchers. Therefore, new technologies and new materials have been continuously applied.

　　Some people say that the key to new energy technology is batteries. Indeed, whether it is new energy vehicles, mobile phones and other electronic products, or even emerging drones, batteries are one of the most important factors restricting product performance. In order to achieve breakthroughs in the battery field, both the battery as a whole and the components of the battery are the focus of research and development by scientific researchers. Therefore, new technologies and new materials have been continuously applied.

　　New energy battery technology has entered a period of rapid development. The National Institute of Materials Science of Japan recently announced that it has developed a new type of lithium battery with a very high energy density, and this new type of lithium battery is called "lithium-air battery", and its unit volume The lower energy density is almost close to the limit, and the cost can also be well controlled. According to the organization, the "lithium-air battery" uses carbon nanotubes as the air electrode material. Through the optimization of the electrode structure, a very high energy density can be achieved, which is 15 times that of ordinary lithium batteries. The organization's researchers said that the current "lithium-air battery" is only a test product, and will continue to optimize the design in the future to further increase the energy density.

　　At the same time, new technologies have also been applied to the development of battery materials. Toyota Motor has announced that it will invest 35 million US dollars in the research and development of new energy battery materials in the next four years. In Toyota's view, artificial intelligence will become a key way to find new energy materials for the future. As a new method, artificial intelligence-based computing models have recently been applied to the research of materials science. It may take decades to find new materials artificially, but this process can be accelerated by incorporating artificial intelligence technology into the computing model.
