Heating is the most basic condition for human survival. Without various heating equipment in life, people will not be able to withstand the cold weather in winter. However, many heating equipment in daily life are not environmentally friendly. In order to solve this problem, people are committed to researching new materials. On the roof of the headquarters of Jiangsu Ruixu New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., 10 sets of heat collection arrays composed of 5 layers of reflective panels collect the sun's heat and store it in two energy storage tanks that are as tall as one person. "The new energy storage materials we have developed can greatly increase the energy storage density, and then using different equipment can ensure that the company's office area is 'warm in winter and cool in summer.'" said Dr. Xiao Feng, who is responsible for the research and development of this technology. The obvious advantages of efficient, green, and low-cost new energy storage materials have made energy utilization greener and more efficient, which has always been the focus of attention around the world. In recent years, many places across the country have vigorously promoted new energy construction and "coal-to-electricity" and "coal-to-gas" transformation projects. While increasing the use of clean energy and improving the ecological environment, it has also brought about increased costs and pressure on energy supply. Increase issues such as this. Wan Rongnan, general manager of CIRS New Energy, believes that an important reason for these problems is the lack of efficient and environmentally friendly energy storage materials. "A big reason for our country's energy problems is the misalignment between energy production and energy demand. If there is a safe, reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly energy storage device, we can comprehensively solve the problems caused by the imbalance of supply and demand from the two dimensions of time and space. series of problems to help us improve energy efficiency." Founded in 2017, CIRS has successfully developed three new models of economical and strong market competitiveness for 100°C, 300°C and 800°C usage scenarios. Energy storage materials. Compared with existing energy storage materials on the market, the new energy storage materials developed by CIRS have more diverse ingredients and more scientific proportions. They achieve the best balance between "high energy storage, low attenuation, and low risk" by utilizing the complementary characteristics of multiple materials. They are more competitive than similar products on the market in terms of overall performance and cost performance. Take high-temperature heat storage materials as an example. Its heat storage per unit mass is more than 20 times that of mainstream products in the current market. All raw materials are domestically produced and the cost is controllable. "The energy density of the two energy storage tanks we are testing is much higher than that of equipment using traditional materials of the same volume, but no pressure is generated inside, which means that the materials inside operate stably and safety is guaranteed," Xiao Feng said. . It is reported that Jiangsu Ruixu has applied for invention patents and utility model patents for three major new energy storage materials, and its product performance has been tested by third-party institutions in Guangdong, Qingdao and other places. Aiming at the development of "pain points", new materials have broad application prospects. It is understood that the three products currently developed by CIRS can meet different application scenarios. For example, 100°C energy storage materials can mainly meet the daily heating and other needs of home users, 300°C energy storage materials can help industrial enterprises solve issues such as waste heat and waste heat recycling, and 800°C energy storage materials can be widely used in new energy power stations. At CIRS Laboratory, the reporter saw several prototypes that have begun to take shape. Wan Rongnan said that these devices may help a large number of low-income residents in the north solve the problem of low-cost winter heating. "Peaks in electricity prices are often also peaks in electricity consumption. In some areas, peak electricity prices are 2 to 3 times higher than off-peak electricity prices. Look at this device like a water heater. The energy storage components it is equipped with can automatically charge and store energy when electricity prices are low. Use it at night when the temperature drops and electricity prices rise. The stored heat will only naturally decay by 2% within 24 hours, which is better and has a longer life than some heat storage equipment using refractory bricks." CIRS is currently developing Mobile energy storage cabinet for district heating. This new energy storage device, which can be loaded in a standard 40-foot container, can meet the heating area of 150,000 square meters and meet the 24-hour uninterrupted heating needs of a medium-sized community. In addition, the new energy storage materials developed by CIRS are also expected to "flex their muscles" in the industrial field. "One of the reasons why domestic new energy projects such as wind power, photovoltaic, and solar thermal are currently hampered in their development is the lack of efficient energy storage facilities to 'smooth out' the impact of unstable power generation on the power grid," Xiao Feng said. Xiaobu Kuaipao took the lead in laying out the civilian market. At the beginning of this year, CIRS expanded its factory to an area of 600 square meters to prepare for the subsequent mass production. "The market for new energy storage materials has broad prospects. We plan to adopt a 'small steps and run fast' strategy, focusing on the civilian market first and then gradually broadening our business scope," Wan Rongnan said. In addition to providing new energy storage materials directly to customers, CIRS plans to adopt a strategy of self-producing and selling terminal products in order to further seize changes in consumer market demand and enhance customer experience. CIRS is stepping up its research and development of its first product, home heating equipment, which has basically completed pilot testing and has begun small batch production. It is reported that some investment institutions have sensed the strong market potential contained in CIRS's new energy storage materials and have begun to contact CIRS for cooperation. "60% of the world's energy consumes heat. We hope to provide solutions for efficient energy utilization through continuous technological innovation." Wan Rongnan said. The successful research and development of new energy storage materials will undoubtedly bring new light to people's heating. Of course, it will also bring countless business opportunities. I believe that in the future, there will be a high market development space.
