Solid-state sodium-ion batteries: the bright new star of next-generation energy storage technology

Recently, solid-state sodium-ion battery technology has once again attracted widespread attention in the industry. This new battery technology is regarded as a shining star in the next generation of energy storage technology due to its high safety, high energy density and abundant raw material resources.The working principle of solid-state sodium-ion batteries is similar to that of traditional sodium-ion batteries, but the key is that they use solid electrolytes instead of traditional liquid electrolytes. During the charging process, sodium ions (Na+) are released from the positive electrode material, migrate to the negative electrode through the solid electrolyte, and are embedded in the negative electrode. At the same time, electrons flow from the positive electrode to the negative electrode through an external circuit to maintain charge balance. The discharge process is the opposite. Sodium ions are released from the negative electrode, migrate back to the positive electrode through the solid electrolyte, and electrons flow from the negative electrode to the positive electrode through an external circuit to form an electric current. This unique mechanism makes solid-state sodium-ion batteries excel in energy density and safety.Solid-state sodium-ion batteries have significant advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries. First, the reserves of sodium in the earth's crust are abundant, far exceeding lithium, so the raw material cost of solid-state sodium-ion batteries is relatively low. This helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of batteries and promote their commercial application. Secondly, solid-state electrolytes have high mechanical strength and chemical stability, and are not prone to safety problems such as leakage and combustion, so solid-state sodium-ion batteries have higher safety. In addition, solid-state electrolytes can inhibit the growth of sodium dendrites, thereby improving the cycle stability and life of the battery.In recent years, solid-state sodium-ion battery technology has made significant progress. Many scientific research institutions and enterprises at home and abroad have invested in research and development, committed to improving the ionic conductivity, chemical stability and compatibility of solid electrolytes with electrodes. At the same time, by optimizing electrode materials and battery structures, the energy density and cycle performance of solid-state sodium-ion batteries have been further improved.It is worth mentioning that solid-state sodium-ion batteries have shown broad application prospects in many fields. In the field of electric vehicles, the high energy density and long life of solid-state sodium-ion batteries help to improve the range and service life of electric vehicles. In home and industrial energy storage systems, solid-state sodium-ion batteries can be used as battery components to store and supply electricity to meet various electricity needs. In addition, solid-state sodium-ion batteries can also be used in renewable energy systems such as solar and wind power to store excess electricity and provide reliable energy support for unstable power grids.However, the development of solid-state sodium-ion battery technology still faces some challenges. First, the cost of solid-state electrolytes is relatively high, which limits the commercial application of solid-state sodium-ion batteries. Second, the interface stability between solid-state electrolytes and electrodes still needs to be further improved to optimize the electrochemical performance of the battery. In addition, the production process and technical maturity of solid-state sodium-ion batteries also need to be further improved.Nevertheless, as a bright new star of the next generation of energy storage technology, the development prospects of solid-state sodium-ion batteries are still worth looking forward to. With the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual reduction of costs, solid-state sodium-ion batteries are expected to play an important role in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and renewable energy, and contribute more to the sustainable development of human society.Jiayuan produces sodium fluoride stably . Sodium fluoride can provide a source of sodium ions, which play a key role in the battery charging and discharging process. In addition, the ionic properties of sodium fluoride enable it to form stable compounds with other materials, thereby optimizing the electrochemical performance of solid-state sodium ion batteries. The development of sodium fluoride and solid-state sodium ions complement each other and promote the further expansion of Jiayuan's strategic map.

Fluorine, the Chemistry Enfant

The matter in the universe is composed of various chemical elements, among which there is a unique and magical element, that is fluorine. The chemical element fluorine has a bad reputation, but it has great merits.The single substance of fluorine is a highly toxic gas with strong corrosiveness, and some fluorine chemical raw materials such as tetrafluoroethylene are extremely active. The single substance of fluorine is F2, which is a light yellow and highly toxic gas. Fluorine gas is highly corrosive and has extremely active chemical properties. It is one of the most oxidizing substances and can even react with some inert gases under certain conditions. Fluorine is a key element in special plastics, rubber and refrigerants (chlorofluorocarbons). In nature, fluorine mainly exists in fluorite (CaF2), cryolite (Na3[AlF6]) and fluoroapatite (Ca10(PO4)6F2).Organic fluoride has a mild and unique side: it is as stable as other organic compounds and can greatly improve the biochemical and physicochemical properties of medicine and pesticide molecules. The toothpaste, refrigerants, non-stick pan coatings, spacecraft sealing materials and some new drugs we are familiar with all contain fluorine.In the international fluorine chemistry scientific community, there are two words used to summarize the importance of fluorine. The first is unique. It is the most subversive element. Why can "most" be used to describe a chemical element? This is because fluorine has a high electronegativity and very extreme chemical properties. This makes many fluorine-containing raw materials very active, but fluorine-containing products are very stable - when active fluorine-containing raw materials undergo chemical reactions, they will release a lot of energy, but the fluorine-containing products obtained after the energy is released are particularly stable. This process is a bit like popcorn, which has experienced "explosion" and then precipitated. Fluorine can also form the strongest chemical bond with carbon atoms. This property makes fluorine-containing materials very stable. For example, the plastic mesh Teflon, that is, polytetrafluoroethylene, is one of the most stable materials.The second word to describe fluorine is useful. 20%-25% of newly registered drugs worldwide contain fluorine atoms. Some patients also use 18F-FDG, or fluorodeoxyglucose, when undergoing PET-CT examinations. Fluorine-containing liquid crystal materials are used in the display screens of electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers that people use in their daily lives.The application of fluorine-containing materials in the defense field is also very extensive. In the aerospace field, gyro oil, high and low temperature lubricating oil, etc. are all fluorine-containing materials. Among the cutting-edge defense materials required for atomic bombs, fluorine-containing materials also occupy an important place. In addition, fluoride is necessary for the human body within a certain range. The right amount of fluoride promotes the growth and formation of teeth and bones, and is beneficial to the healing and calcification of fractures. Insufficient fluoride will lead to rickets, osteoporosis, dental caries and other diseases.Reasonable intake of fluoride can ensure the body's normal calcium and phosphorus metabolism and promote the normal growth and development of bones. Under the action of fluoride, hydroxyapatite can be converted into hard-surfaced fluorapatite, enhancing bone mineralization. After fluoride is absorbed by hydroxyapatite in tooth enamel, it produces acid-resistant fluorapatite on the tooth surface, which can prevent tooth decay.The safe range of fluoride for the human body is very narrow, which makes the balance between human activities and fluoride easily destroyed. When fluoride is excessive, deficient or unbalanced, it will affect the metabolism and immune regulation of the human body.When we look at the fluorine element, from research to application, it is always accompanied by sacrifice and harm. But is fluorine really harmful to humans? In fact, humans now have a more comprehensive understanding of fluorine, and fluorine is more scientifically used in various fields such as pesticides, medicine, materials, atomic energy, aerospace, etc. While using fluorine to improve our lives, we are also working hard to make it live in harmony with humans and the environment.

Fluorine Chemical Industry-Deeply Cultivated in the Industry, Entering into Life

1. Fluorine Chemical IndustryFluorine chemical industry is a sub-industry of the chemical industry. Its products have high performance and high added value, and it is known as the golden industry. Fluorine chemical industry is mainly divided into two major industries: inorganic fluorine chemical industry and organic fluorine chemical industry.Inorganic fluorine chemical products are important raw materials and auxiliary materials for industries such as machinery, electronics, and metallurgy, while organic fluorine chemical products are widely used in military, chemical, and machinery fields due to their excellent properties such as resistance to chemicals, high and low temperature resistance, aging resistance, low friction, and insulation.2. The fluorine chemical industry has become one of the fastest growing industries in the chemical industry.The emergence and development of fluorine chemical industry is closely related to human's understanding and application of fluorine element and its compounds.In nature, fluorine is widely distributed in the form of simple substance or compound, the most important of which are hydrogen fluoride (HF) and silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4). With the advancement of science and technology and the need for industrial production, humans began to mine and utilize fluorine and its compounds, and gradually developed two major industries: inorganic fluorine chemical industry and organic fluorine chemical industry.Inorganic fluorine chemical industry originated in the early 20th century, when fluorite (CaF2) was mainly used to produce hydrofluoric acid (HF), and then other fluorides. Later, with the advancement of technology and the expansion of application fields, inorganic fluorine chemical industry gradually developed into an industry with a complete range of categories and a wide variety of products.The development of organic fluorine chemicals began after World War II. With the advancement of technology and the increase in demand, it gradually developed into an industry with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) as its main products.Since the 1980s, with the increasing attention paid to environmental issues and the improvement of environmental awareness, organic fluorine chemicals have gradually developed towards high efficiency, environmental protection and high performance, and inorganic fluorine chemicals have also developed towards deep processing, refinement and high-end development, continuously launching new products and new application areas.3. Fluorine chemical products have many applications in daily life. The following are some common fluorine chemical products:1. Refrigerant: Refrigerant is a traditional product in the fluorine chemical industry, including four generations of refrigerant products, namely CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and HFOs. Among them, CFCs have been eliminated, and the global market currently mainly uses second, third and fourth generation refrigerants, such as Freon (chlorofluorocarbons).2. Fluoride toothpaste: In order to prevent tooth decay, we usually use fluoride toothpaste. These toothpastes often contain trace amounts of sodium fluoride or other fluorides.3. Teflon: Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a polymer material, commonly used as a coating for non-stick pans.4. Fluorinated drugs: Some drugs use fluorine atoms to improve their properties, such as biological activity, prolonged efficacy, etc. For example, flunarizine has a longer-lasting efficacy and fewer side effects than cinnarizine.5. Artificial blood: Artificial blood products such as perfluorodecalin are also one of the applications of fluorine chemical products.6. Fire extinguishing agents and pesticides: Certain fire extinguishing agents (such as hexafluoropropane) and fluorine-containing pesticides are also applications of fluorine chemical products.In addition, fine chemicals such as fluorinated organic intermediates and fluorinated lithium salt electrolytes (such as lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF6 and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI) are also widely used in daily life, such as in batteries and electronic devices.

Which fluorine chemical products have more prospects in the future?

I believe that everyone has seen and heard a lot about PVDF and lithium hexafluorophosphate projects in recent years. Some of them were built by fluorine chemical companies, and some were entered by non-industry companies. The successive commissioning of these projects has rapidly changed the supply and demand relationship of PVDF and lithium hexafluorophosphate, and their market prices have also fluctuated greatly. The industry sentiment is very pessimistic.However, there are rich varieties of fluorine chemical products. In addition to fluorine-containing lithium battery materials, many other products also have excellent application prospects, including hexafluorobutadiene, chlorine trifluoride, carbonyl fluoride, fluorinated polyimide, polytrifluorochloroethylene, fusible polytetrafluoroethylene, perfluorosulfonic acid resin, hydrofluoroether, perfluoropolyether, ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, etc. This article will introduce you to a more promising product: hexafluorobutadiene.Hexafluorobutadiene, also known as perfluorobutadiene, hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene, or HFBD for short, is a fully fluorinated compound with a double bond and a molecular formula of C4F6. Hexafluorobutadiene is an important raw material for synthetic resins and fluorine-containing substances. It can also be used as an etching gas in the semiconductor industry with the advantages of good selectivity and high precision.In addition, hexafluorobutadiene has a GWP of only 0.004 and a lifetime in the atmosphere of less than 2 days, which has a very small greenhouse effect. It is a green and environmentally friendly perfluorinated gas with great market prospects. In recent years, hexafluorobutadiene has become one of the most likely candidates to replace traditional fluorine-containing etching gases due to its excellent properties such as good etching selectivity, high precision, and easy decomposition in the atmosphere.Hexafluorobutadiene is one of the new generation of fluorine-containing etching gases that can meet the development requirements of etching technology and minimize the impact on the environment. It has broad application prospects. However, the current high-purity hexafluorobutadiene market is still dominated by foreign companies such as Showa Denko, Atsei Chemical, Merck Group, Linde Gas, and Air Liquide, and my country's market demand mainly relies on imports.In recent years, in the face of increasingly stringent semiconductor blockades by Western countries and the growing domestic market demand for fluorine-containing specialty gases, domestic companies have accelerated the layout of hexafluorobutadiene, and some companies have broken through the industrialization barriers.
