IsiQalo saseSweden iNorthvolt yeSodium-Ion yeBattery Innovation yehlisa ukuxhomekeka kweChina yaseYurobhu

Ngokutsho kweBritish "Financial Times" ngomhla wama-21, iNorthvolt, isiqalo saseSweden esixhaswa ngabatyalo-mali abafana neVolkswagen, BlackRock, kunye neGoldman Sachs, ibhengeze impumelelo ebalulekileyo ekuphuhlisweni kweebhetri ze-sodium-ion. Le nkqubela phambili ichazwa njengendlela yokunciphisa kakhulu ukuxhomekeka kweYurophu kwiChina ngexesha lenguquko eluhlaza. Ngaphandle nenjongo yokukhuphisana ne-China kuphando kunye nophuhliso, iYurophu iyaqhubeka ukuthembela kwinkxaso evela kwitsheyini yoshishino lwebhetri yaseTshayina. I-Stellantis, i-automaker yesine ngobukhulu kwihlabathi, ibhengeze ngomhla wama-21 ukuba iimoto zayo zentengiso yaseYurophu ziya kufumana iinxalenye zebhetri kwi-China's Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL).

Ingxelo evela kwiFraunhofer Institute yaseJamani ithi phantse i-90% yamalungelo awodwa abenzi behlabathi anxulumene nobuchwepheshe bebhetri yesodium aphuma e-China, kwaye i-CATL sele ifumene impumelelo ekuphuhliseni iibhetri zesodium-ion. Inqaku leendaba zaseJamani ukuba iibhetri okwangoku zijonga malunga ne-40% yeendleko zokuvelisa izithuthi zombane, ngokukodwa iibhetri ze-lithium-ion. Ixabiso eliphezulu le-lithium liye labangela umdla omkhulu kwezinye iindlela. Iibhetri zaseNorthvolt zahlula kwizinto zazo ze-cathode, eziphakathi kweyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kwiibhetri zeemoto zombane, ngaphandle kwezinto ezibalulekileyo ezifana ne-lithium, i-nickel, i-manganese, okanye i-cobalt.

Ngokutsho kweengcali zezinto eziphathekayo kwiFraunhofer Institute, isodiyam inokufumaneka eJamani ngeendlela ezingabizi kangako, njengesodium chloride. UPeter Carlsson, i-CEO kunye nomseki we-Northvolt, uxelele "Iixesha lezeMali" ukuba le nzuzo inokukhulula iYurophu ekuthembeleni kwikhonkco lokubonelela ngeqhinga laseTshayina. UMartin Osaz, ingcali yaseJamani kwi-chemistry yezixhobo zokusetyenziswa kwamandla, ithi intsingiselo yexabiso elizayo lamacandelo aphambili kwiibhetri ze-lithium-ion iya kuba nefuthe eliqinisekileyo kwinzuzo yeendleko zesodium.

Njengoko ingxelo yeBattery News yaseJamani ngomhla wama-21, iNorthvolt inyuse ithemba phakathi kwamashishini amaninzi aseYurophu. Ukusukela ngo-2017, inkampani inyuse ngaphezulu kwe-9 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwi-equity kunye ne-capital capital kwaye ikhusele iiodolo ezixabisa ngaphezulu kwe-55 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kubathengi abafana neVolkswagen, BMW, Scania, kunye neVolvo.

U-Yu Qingjiao, uNobhala-Jikelele we-Zhongguancun New Battery Technology Innovation Alliance, uxelele "i-Global Times" iintatheli kwi-22nd ukuba uphando lwehlabathi malunga neebhetri zesizukulwana esilandelayo lugxile kakhulu kwiindlela ezimbini: i-sodium-ion kunye neebhetri eziqinileyo. Le yokugqibela iwela phantsi koluhlu lweebhetri ze-lithium-ion, ezihluke kuphela kwifom ye-electrolyte. Uqikelela ukuba iibhetri ze-lithium ezikhoyo ziya kuhlala zingundoqo kwimarike kule minyaka ilishumi izayo, kunye neebhetri ze-sodium-ion kulindeleke ukuba zibe ngumphelelisi oqinileyo kwizicelo zemarike yebhetri ye-lithium-ion.

U-Yu Qingjiao uhlalutye ukuba njengamahlakani abalulekileyo orhwebo, i-China kunye neManyano yaseYurophu zinokuphelelisana okuthile kubume bempahla zorhwebo. De inqwelo yamandla entsha yaseYurophu kunye nekhonkco loshishino lwebhetri iphuhle ngokwenene, iya kuqhubeka iyindawo ephambili yokuthumela ngaphandle kunye noyilo lwaphesheya kolwandle lwekhonkco loshishino lwebhetri yaseTshayina.
