At present, supercapacitors in many application fields in China are still in the growth and initial stage. With the continuous deepening of application development, supercapacitors in China will become a new highlight in the field of chemical power supply.
The market share of supercapacitors for transportation is the largest, and it is expected to reach 10 billion yuan by 2025. At the same time, the market size of industrial and new energy supercapacitors has also shown rapid growth.
In 2018, supercapacitors were included in the national special support key projects and selected as key products in emerging industries. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, and Ministry of Science and Technology have issued a series of special policies to provide support for the fields of supercapacitors and new materials. This indicates that the supercapacitor industry has ushered in good development opportunities and foreshadows future growth prospects.
of electric double-layer capacitors, which is worth exploring for industrialization. At the same time, many companies are working on the application of the fourth type of supercapacitor advocated by the China Super Capacitor Industry Alliance - battery capacitors. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also attaches great importance to the new field of supercapacitors and provides strong support. The China Supercapacitors Industry Alliance is actively formulating relevant standards, which are all very correct development directions.
According to Bi Kaichun, inspector of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in recent years, with the acceleration of China's implementation of the strategy of building a strong manufacturing country and a strong network country, and the deepening of major projects such as manufacturing innovation centers, intelligent manufacturing, and green manufacturing, new technologies, new industries, new formats, and new models have emerged one after another. The research and development of supercapacitors, characterized by high energy,
Yang Yusheng pointed out that 2018 is an important year for the implementation of the national "13th Five Year Plan". Supercapacitors have been included in the national special support key projects and selected as key products in emerging industries. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, and Ministry of Science and Technology have issued a series of special policies to provide support for the field of supercapacitors and new materials. This indicates that the supercapacitor industry has
Song Chengmin, a director level researcher and economist at the National Development and Reform Commission, stated that currently, China's supercapacitors are still in the growth and initial stages in many application fields. I believe that in the near future, with the continuous deepening of application development, supercapacitors in China will become a new highlight industry in the field of chemical power supply.
Cao Gaoping believes that currently, supercapacitors have been applied in many fields, such as wind turbine, power grid, military, various electric vehicles, high-speed trains, energy recovery, etc. It can be said that supercapacitors have enormous potential for future development due to their advantages of fast charging and discharging, long service life, safety and stability. However, there are also some issues that need to be addressed in the development process of the supercapacitor industry. The first issue is that the supercapacitor industry has weaker policy support compared to lithium batteries. For example, the subsidy policy for electric vehicles benefits lithium-ion batteries, while the supercapacitor industry faces resistance. The second issue is the insufficient investment in research and innovation in the supercapacitor industry. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, the country's support for supercapacitors is far from sufficient. The third issue is the low degree of localization of key electrode materials in China, which hinders the development of the supercapacitor industry.
Regarding this, Cao Gaoping suggested strengthening publicity to enable various application fields and even governments at all levels to have a better understanding of supercapacitors, and to enhance the integration and cooperation of the midstream and downstream industrial chains. We need to strengthen research on application development, expand applications from two perspectives: application technology and service models, especially in promoting innovative models. We need to strengthen the collaborative cooperation between upstream and midstream enterprises throughout the entire chain. Promote the localization and substitution process of key carbon materials, and reduce the production cost of individual capacitors. To develop new materials and systems for supercapacitors. Developing high-energy specific supercapacitors with quasi capacitors and actively expanding their applications.
