Public consultation: Sodium-ion battery standards will be released soon, so stay tuned!

According to news on October 9, the China Chemical and Physical Power Supply Industry Association announced an important initiative on Saturday, namely the publicity and solicitation of opinions on the "General Specifications for Sodium Ion Batteries". The move aims to promote the development of sodium-ion battery technology and provide more stable and reliable power options for electric vehicles, lightweight power and energy storage. The publicity period will last from October 8th to November 7th.

The scope of application of the "General Specifications for Sodium-Ion Batteries" includes sodium-ion battery cells and battery modules used in electric vehicles, lightweight power systems and energy storage equipment. After the publicity and solicitation of opinions on this specification are completed, it is expected that the preparation team will officially release the specification and begin implementation around November, laying the foundation for the widespread application of sodium-ion battery technology.

# It is understood that sodium-ion batteries have the characteristics of abundant resources, high energy density, low cost, high charge and discharge rate and cycle life. It is also safer and more environmentally friendly, and is considered a potential energy storage technology to replace lithium-ion batteries. 2023 is regarded as the first year of mass production of sodium-ion batteries, so the safety and reliability of batteries are crucial to the safety and product reliability of the power and energy storage fields

Previous reports pointed out that China’s strength in the field of sodium-ion batteries continues to increase. According to an analysis by Japan's Mitsui & Co. Strategic Research Institute in April this year, China leads the field of patents in various countries related to post-lithium-ion battery technology, accounting for more than half of the patent shares. Sodium-ion battery technology is considered to be the most competitive technology in the post-lithium-ion battery era, and China's leading position in this regard has also been verified in patent analysis. Chinese companies are expected to start large-scale production of sodium-ion batteries this year, while Japan and the United States have lagged behind in this area and are rapidly developing cheap alternatives to cope with limited resources and the need to achieve decarbonization.
