Driven by technological innovation, the development of the wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride battery industry is accelerating

The full name of wide-temperature nickel-hydride battery is wide-temperature metal hydride nickel battery, which refers to a battery that can reach -40.0~+85.0°C in charge and discharge temperature. Wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries have the advantages of long service life, high safety, green environmental protection, good power performance, and wide temperature range. They are widely used in new energy vehicles, outdoor energy storage, mine equipment and other fields.

As a substitute for nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries have the advantages of safety and large energy release, and are widely used in consumer electronics and hybrid vehicles. At present, my country’s nickel-metal hydride battery industry has entered a mature stage of development. Under the impact of factors such as the expanding market share of lithium-ion batteries and shrinking downstream demand, its market size has declined. As a segmented product of nickel-metal hydride batteries, wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries have a wide range of application scenarios and have gained broad market space in my country’s energy storage market. At present, wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries have become the fastest-growing nickel-metal hydride batteries.

In recent years, many manufacturing companies and research institutions in my country have focused on the research and development and production of wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries, providing driving support for the development of the industry. In 2021, researchers from the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed three new models of rare earth hydrogen storage alloys for wide-temperature nickel-hydrogen batteries and their production technology. Currently, the project has built a large-scale production line. Driven by technological innovation, the development speed of my country’s wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride battery industry will further accelerate.

According to the “2022-2027 China Wide Temperature Ni-MH Battery Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries are suitable for operating environments with large temperature shocks, and have broad application prospects in communications electronics, new energy vehicles, outdoor energy storage and other fields. In the field of new energy vehicles, the main raw materials of wide-temperature nickel-hydrogen batteries are neodymium-free rare earths, which have extremely low production costs and are suitable for mass production. As the prosperity of the new energy vehicle industry continues to increase, the market demand for wide-temperature nickel-hydrogen batteries will continue to rise. ; In the field of outdoor energy storage, wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries can reach rated discharge capacity in -40.0°C environment and can be used in outdoor emergency lighting, outdoor portable power supplies, and solar street lights.

The main manufacturers of wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries in my country include Harbin Zhongke Zhongrui Clean Energy, Sichuan Baosheng New Energy Battery Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Linrun New Energy, Hunan Corun New Energy, etc. Corun is one of the earliest companies in my country to research wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries. The batteries produced by the company have the advantages of high charge and discharge efficiency and high safety.

Industry analysts said that with the rapid development of the electrochemical energy storage industry, wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride batteries, as new energy storage batteries, have Its performance advantages such as high/low temperature resistance have made it widely used in many fields. With continuous breakthroughs and innovations in production and R&D technology, the development prospects of my country’s wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride battery industry will continue to improve. In recent years, the number of wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride battery manufacturers in my country has continued to increase, and market competition has become increasingly fierce.
