In the context of global green energy transformation, battery technology plays a crucial role. Since its establishment in 2010, Sinopoly has been at the forefront of innovation, committed to developing a new type of environmentally friendly battery—the aqueous battery. This article will delve into the comparison between Sinopoly’s aqueous batteries and traditional oil-based batteries, as well as the environmental advantages and market potential of these aqueous batteries.
Current Status and Challenges of Oil-based Batteries:
- Although oil-based batteries hold an important position in the field of energy storage, their reliance on NMP solvent has brought about cost fluctuations and environmental safety issues. From 2014 to 2019, the dramatic fluctuations in NMP prices posed significant challenges to battery manufacturers, especially between 2020 and 2021, when the demand for lithium batteries surged, causing NMP prices to soar from 2,500 $/ton to 5,850 $/ton.
- The volatility and toxicity of NMP exert pressure on the environment. It causes serious damage to the ecosystem, and long-term or high-concentration exposure may pose health hazards to humans, including potential toxicity to the reproductive system, liver, and nervous system. The European Commission has included NMP in the REACH regulation’s list of restricted substances, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified it as a volatile organic compound (VOC), setting limits on the concentration of NMP in the air. At the same time, the production process of oil-based batteries requires a complex NMP recovery system, which not only increases costs but also causes corrosion to equipment.
Technical Innovation of Sinopoly Aqueous Battery:
- Environmental characteristics: The non-toxicity and high recyclability of Sinopoly’s aqueous batteries ensure the safety of the production process and the sustainable use of resources and also meet the EU’s strict environmental requirements.
- Electrical performance: The water battery is comparable to the traditional oil battery in terms of electrical performance, meeting the performance requirements of automotive power batteries and energy storage products.
- Cost reduction: The use of NMP organic solvents with high prices and difficult recovery is avoided, further reducing the cost of the battery.
Sinopoly’s Aqueous Battery – Plastic Prismatic LFP Cell
Sinopoly’s Plastic Prismatic LFP Cells are characterized by their exceptional safety, improved performance, and dedication to environmental sustainability. They offer a higher continuous discharge rate of up to 10C, delivering increased power and energy while minimizing temperature elevation. The innovative use of non-PVDF water-soluble binders not only prolongs the battery’s lifespan but also contributes to a cleaner and more efficient energy storage solution.
Conclusion:
With its excellent environmental characteristics, cost-effectiveness, and technological innovation, Sinopoly’s aqueous battery shows great market potential. As the world continues to pursue green energy, Sinopoly’s aqueous batteries are expected to become a key technology in promoting energy transformation, leading the battery technology into a new era that is greener, more efficient, and sustainable.
