The biggest obstacle hindering the promotion of new energy vehicles is insufficient battery life. The energy storage capacity of lithium batteries has its limits. Nowadays, lithium battery vehicles are very heavy, but they still cannot meet the battery life requirements. Why do companies like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and General Motors Isn't that the first company to launch lithium battery cars? Because they know that lithium battery vehicles are an immature transitional solution. The final version of new energy vehicles must have a battery life no less than that of fuel vehicles. Toyota has been working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in recent years. The biggest problem is hydrogen. It is not easy to produce and store. Not long ago, fuel cell technology ushered in a big news.

　　According to foreign media reports, Swiss scientists have recently developed the first fuel cell based on formic acid. The structure of this battery is divided into two parts. The first part is responsible for using a ruthenium-based catalyst to decompose formic acid into hydrogen, and the second part is similar to ordinary The fuel cell is the same, using hydrogen to generate electricity. In theory, 1 liter of formic acid can produce 590 liters of hydrogen, and the bottleneck of the fuel cell is instantly solved.

　　Formic acid is easier to produce and store than hydrogen, and China has the biggest advantage in producing formic acid. China is not rich in lithium resources, nor is it rich in petroleum resources. However, China has the largest coal resources in the world. Coal is considered an unclean energy source and its use in chemical industry is relatively simple compared to petroleum. However, Coal is precisely the most economical raw material for the production of formic acid. Currently, coal-based "one-carbon chemistry" mainly produces formic acid. In the field of new energy, China may instantly transform from a country with few resource advantages to a country with the strongest resources.
