With the breakthrough of fuel cell technology, the bottlenecks in the development of new energy vehicles such as short battery life and difficult supply are expected to be broken through, and fuel cell vehicles are also expected to become a new growth pole for the entire industry.
Fuel cell, popularly understood, is a device that converts the chemical energy of fuel into electrical energy. The fuel is divided into hydrogen, methanol, ethanol, methane, etc. At present, the relatively mainstream in the world and domestically is the hydrogen fuel cell, which uses hydrogen as the fuel to replace not only petroleum, but also the current lithium battery, and the fuel cell to replace the engine.
Chinese officials have been giving great support to the research and development of fuel cells. As early as 2015, officials made it clear at high-level meetings that they would support the research and development of power batteries and fuel cell vehicles. In recent years, the research and development of fuel cell vehicles has also made a series of progress.Also read:72v 200ah lithium battery pack
The first is a series of technical upgrades. Corun's 2017 financial report shows that in the past year, the national research center affiliated to Corun has made significant progress in projects such as fuel cell membrane electrodes and fuel cell bus demonstration operations, and all indicators and performance have reached domestic leading levels.
Secondly, while technological breakthroughs are made, industry standards are also being continuously improved. Chen Hongjun, deputy director of the National Standardization Management Committee, said that in the next step, the National Standardization Committee will closely focus on the development needs of the hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry, give full play to the guiding role of standards as the nose, continue to improve the standard system for hydrogen energy and fuel cells, and vigorously promote the standards. application and implementation.
Third, the speed of the industry from technology research and development to market application is also increasing. According to reports, the fuel cell bus equipped with "Keli Yuanxin" will be delivered in late June, and will be put into operation in Shenzhen for demonstration at the end of June. Corun revealed that the implementation of this application benefited from its research on the localization of key fuel cell materials and components that it started in 2015, as well as the development of auxiliary power supplies and systems for fuel cells.
Under such circumstances, fuel cell vehicles are expected to become a new growth pole for the future development of new energy vehicles.Read related testimonials:RV Lithium Battery
Sinolink Securities predicts that the fuel cell industry chain is developing well, the domestic stack technology has made breakthroughs, and the infrastructure has been steadily advancing. In 2017, there were more than 1,000 fuel cell vehicles, and it is expected that there will be more than 10,000 vehicles in 2020. The entire industry chain will usher in break out.
