Modern Express News (Reporter Jin Chen Gao Yi) On July 14, the second sodium-ion battery industry chain and standard development forum hosted by Wuxi Xishan District People's Government, Zhongguancun Energy Storage Industry Technology Alliance and China Electronics Standardization Institute was held in Xishan District, Wuxi City. At the forum, academicians, scholars and industry leaders gathered together to discuss the new trend of standardization and development of sodium-ion battery industry and jointly look forward to the new picture of the development of sodium-ion battery industry.
As a "rookie" in the energy storage industry, sodium-ion batteries quickly stand out with their advantages of rich domestic reserves, wide distribution, low cost, long life, wide temperature zone and high safety performance. The industrialization process of mainland sodium-ion batteries has accelerated, but the development of the industry is still in the early stage of growth and cultivation, and the related standardization work is also in its infancy, which requires government departments, enterprises and all sectors of society to form a joint force and increase the intensity of overall planning. This forum discussed the standards, technology research and development and industrial status of sodium-ion batteries, and released the "2023 Sodium-ion Battery Industry Research Report" and the first batch of sodium-ion battery evaluation lists in China.
Fang Li, secretary of the Xishan District Party Committee, said in his speech that in recent years, the sodium power industry has accelerated its development and has become a "new favorite" in the field of new energy. Xishan actively seized this opportunity, deeply implemented the new energy industry development acceleration action, relying on its own market advantage of "two-wheeled electric vehicle output reached one-third of the country", established a sodium-ion battery industry development special class, actively explored the application demonstration of "sodium electric + electric vehicle", and the sodium-ion battery R&D headquarters and manufacturing base project with a total investment of 2.62 billion yuan was successfully settled last month. The advantages of low cost and good safety of sodium batteries perfectly match the advantages of Xishan industry, which will surely help Xishan lay out the future industry and seize the industry outlet. Xishan will adhere to the principle of "project is king, enterprise first", create a "tropical rainforest" ecosystem conducive to the expansion and strengthening of the sodium power industry, and create a "iconic" sodium power industry cluster.
As an important base of China's energy storage industry, Wuxi Xishan District has rich industrial resources and innovation environment. At the forum, Jiangsu Wuxi (Xishan) Sodium Power Industrial Park was officially unveiled. Xishan District will take "Jiangsu Wuxi (Xishan) Sodium Electric Industrial Park" as a new starting point, adhere to the development model of "industrial cluster + characteristic professional park", give full play to Xishan's advantages in the field of two-wheeled electric vehicles, and deepen the exploration of "sodium electricity + two-wheeler" application demonstration; Adhere to the "big grasp of projects, grasp big projects", take "physical quantity" as the standard, and go all out to accelerate the construction of sodium power industrial park; Effectively strengthen cooperation with colleges and universities and professional institutions, work together to seize the "commanding heights" of the development of sodium power industry, and add new momentum to the development of the new energy industry in the city, the province and even the whole country.
