Ask M9 to lead the innovation and upgrading of automobile industry with epoch-making ability.

On December 26th, at the press conference on the whole scene of the world of inquiry M9 and Huawei in winter, the flagship SUV of panoramic wisdom, the heaviest product of HarmonyOS Zhixing in the second half of this year, was officially released, and four models were launched, providing two sets of power systems of extended range and pure electric, with the price range of 469,800-569,800 yuan.

Digital technology promotes the reform of China’s automobile industry

New energy vehicles are the main direction of global automobile industry transformation and upgrading and green development, and also the strategic choice for China’s automobile industry to develop with high quality and achieve overtaking in corners. In recent years, with the support of relevant policies, major domestic automobile manufacturers have made clear their development goals, accelerated transformation and upgrading, optimized their internal operation modes, and actively cooperated with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to jointly promote the development of China’s new energy automobile industry and made remarkable achievements.

Specifically, under the background of globalization and digitalization, electrification and intelligence have become an important direction and the only way in the process of automobile industry reform. But it also brings great challenges to traditional automobile manufacturers, especially in the field of intelligence, which has become the focus of market competition at present and even in the future. Therefore, the "single-player" operation mode can no longer adapt to the development of today’s times, and the cooperation between enterprises will become more important.

Therefore, the participation of technology companies will press the "acceleration button" for the innovation and transformation of automobile manufacturers. As the world’s leading provider of information and communication technology solutions, Huawei has always been committed to providing innovative solutions and technical support for all walks of life. Today, Huawei has taken the automobile business as one of the important development directions of the enterprise, and provided standardized parts model, HI model and HarmonyOS Zhixing model for its partners. Relying on Huawei’s smart car incremental parts products, technical solutions and excellent brand marketing experience accumulated by Huawei terminals, we will deeply empower partners and continue to lead the new era of smart electric vehicles.

Take Wenjie M9 as an example, it is the first flagship SUV of HarmonyOS Zhixing, equipped with Huawei’s full-stack smart car technology solution, and is committed to changing people’s travel modes with ten smart cars "black technology", including HUAWEIXPIXEL million pixel smart projection headlights, HarmonyOS cockpit with ten screens, Huawei’s head-up display system, HUAWEIADS2.0 advanced intelligent driver assistance system, and ultra-dimensional safety system. While bringing users a full-scene intelligent experience, it also provides important reference value for the digital intelligent transformation of China’s new energy automobile industry.

The improvement of user experience will help boost car sales.

Judging from the development of China in recent ten years, the development direction of new energy vehicles is unshakable. With the help of many aspects, new energy vehicles have made great progress, the market scale has been expanding, and the quality of new energy vehicles has been improving.

At present, China’s new energy vehicles mainly include pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, etc. The product lines are relatively rich, and the vehicle types are also covered from mini-cars to full-size vehicles, which basically meet the needs of consumers. According to the data of the Association, from January to November 2023, the cumulative retail sales of new energy passenger cars in China reached 6.809 million, a year-on-year increase of 35.2%. It accounts for about 35% of China’s total automobile sales. As the data shows, new energy vehicles are developing rapidly, and the higher the market share means that more consumers are willing to buy new energy vehicles.

As the final work in the field of high-end intelligent new energy vehicles in 2023, Wenjie M9 has attracted much attention from the market. It is understood that the number of blind orders for new cars has reached 54,000 before they are listed, which is enough to prove consumers’ expectations and recognition. Behind the figures, the change of consumption concept can be reflected. As a mass consumer product, the value of automobile is in the process of changing from basic quality and function to higher experience demand. Consumers are no longer simply satisfied with the traditional role brought by automobile, but pursue a higher level of user experience.

It is the user experience that defines the core strength of the product that makes the M9 in the world. With the unique product design, ever-changing and practical driving space, the leading generation of intelligent cockpit and higher-level intelligent driving system, it will fill the user’s experience in minutes and stimulate consumers’ desire to buy. It is not difficult to see that the listing of the M9 will help boost the consumption of new energy vehicles. Good market performance will also enhance the confidence of the booming brands in the world, continue to increase research and development efforts, and launch more high-quality models. At the same time, the support of consumers can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of industrial transformation and promote the steady growth of the market, which is expected to bring broader market incremental space.

China brand reshapes the new pattern of global automobile industry development.

The new energy vehicle market is one of the important fields of global economic development. In the past few years, driven by relevant policies and technological progress, China’s new energy vehicle field has shown great development potential and broad market prospects.

As mentioned above, China’s new energy vehicles continue to show explosive growth, the market scale is leading the world, and the brand continues to break through. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is leading a group of outstanding China brand automobile enterprises to rise rapidly, and their global influence is increasing day by day. China has become the largest exporter of new energy automobile products in the world. This has a profound impact on the reconstruction of the global automobile industry innovation map and market competition pattern.

Nowadays, China brand cars have shown strong innovation ability and competitiveness in the global market. From the product level, the Wenjie M9 is one of the representative models in the era of new energy vehicles, which affects the industrial development trend and consumption direction. From electrification leading to intelligence leading, it not only reflects the confidence of enterprises in core technical strength, but also highlights the tenacious determination of China brand to shine on the global stage. Looking forward to the future, we have reason to believe that China New Energy Vehicle will continue to lead the global automobile industry reform and development with excellent quality, innovative technology and green concept.

BYD’s electric age in 2015 focuses on new energy in the name of "Tang"

  BYD’s Electric 2015: Taking "Tang" as "Ming"

  From 19: 38 to 20: 58, Wang Chuanfu talked about solar energy from oil, smog from disease, and the South China Sea issue from the Straits of Malacca … … For a whole hour and 20 minutes, during the seemingly casual chat, he set the tone for BYD in 2015 at the macro level through his feelings: focusing on new energy.

  This scene took place at the Yantian Sports Center in Shenzhen on the evening of January 20th, the scene of BYD’s first Difen Conference. In fact, this conference has another name — — BYD’s "World-class Technology Analysis Conference" is held once a year. Presumably, at the last conference, a 70-page brochure, which listed almost all BYD’s technologies, still made the experienced media people remember it vividly.

  This year’s conference, in addition to changing the name, the theme seems to have changed a little. Don’t talk about electronics, interconnection, cloud and technology … … Just talk about new energy. Starting from the pre-sale price of 300,000 yuan in Tang Dynasty, Song, Yuan and even Ming were mentioned in turn. The 6-engine 4-drive technology killer and the 3.9-second 100-kilometer acceleration time were indeed enough to support the gold content of the most important conference in BYD’s eyes.

  BYD’s vision of a new energy empire is gradually coming to fruition, starting from the field of public transportation and finally cutting into the personal consumption market. Wang Chuanfu said, "When all this is done, I can retire.".

  "Tang" at the beginning

  Last year, BYD Qin accidentally caught fire again. The annual sales volume of 14,747 units, in addition to firmly sitting on the throne of new energy vehicle sales champion, is a real test of BYD’s production capacity. The phenomenon of demand exceeding supply, led by Shanghai, frequently appears in eight cities where Qin landed.

  Compared with Qin’s dual-engine and dual-mode, after adding a motor, Tang evolved into a three-engine four-wheel drive — — A 2.0TI engine with two motors in front and rear, and four-wheel drive. It is worth mentioning that in terms of four-wheel drive technology, BYD Tang is not equipped with a transfer case and a transmission shaft like the traditional four-wheel drive model, but drives the front and rear axles independently by two motors, and then the power is distributed by a unified control system to realize four-wheel drive. With the peak torque of the front and rear motors of 250Nm and the maximum power assistance of 110kw, Tang’s 100-kilometer acceleration performance after technical optimization increased from 5.9 seconds in Qin Dynasty to 4.9 seconds.

  In order to highlight Tang’s acceleration performance, BYD specially arranged the test drive experience of the car on the morning of the conference. Although due to the limited number of vehicles, not every media and Difen has the opportunity to experience it, according to the participants who experienced it, Tang’s sense of acceleration is somewhat similar to Tesla Model S, with a strong sense of pushing back and even a brief dizziness. Judging from the results of the 200-meter linear acceleration, Tang’s performance was basically stable at around 7.9 seconds when he took four people in the car.

  In the driving mode, Tang offers the choice of HEV (four-wheel drive+sports+hybrid mode) and EV (four-wheel drive+economy+pure electric mode). The former focuses on performance, and the engine and motor work together, with the best power; The latter focuses on economy, and the power battery provides electric energy to drive the vehicle with the power supply machine.

  If the vehicle is short of power in EV mode, the system will automatically switch from EV mode to HEV mode, and use the engine to drive. When the vehicle is driving at a relatively stable medium and high speed, part of the torque output by the engine will drive the front motor to generate electricity, and the rear motor will drive, giving consideration to economy and four-wheel drive.

  As the highlight of the conference, Tang announced the pre-sale price of 300,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan. Interestingly, when BYD was the first to announce the pre-sale price of 600,000 yuan, the friends at the scene were all shocked into a cold sweat. Later, when everyone looked intently, it turned out to be the extreme version of Tang. This price can’t explain the problem, but only show the attitude. The pre-sale price of the ordinary version of Tang is 300,000 yuan, which Che Yun thinks is reasonable. With the subsidies from each city, the sales volume of this car is expected to surpass that of Qin.

  Interestingly, within 12 minutes after the official acceptance of the reservation at 5: 42 on January 21, the first batch of 100 Tang cars, including 98 regular models and 2 extreme models, were quickly declared sold out.

  "Song and Yuan Dynasties" Follow-up

  In April last year, BYD released the "542 Strategy", in which "5" means that all models are accelerated within 5 seconds at 0-100km/h, 4 represents all-round four-wheel drive and 2 represents fuel consumption within 2L per 100 km. As the first model of this strategy, Tang is just the beginning.

  Lian Yubo, senior vice president of BYD Co., Ltd. and chief engineer of automobile industry group, said that after Tang Dynasty, Song and Yuan will join the "542 Strategy" vehicle camp in the second and third quarters of this year, because both Tang, Song and Yuan models are SUVs, and 2015 will be BYD’s "SUV Year".

  At the press conference, Song Heyuan’s model parameters were also announced for the first time.

  It is reported that Song is located in a compact SUV, equipped with a dual-mode full-time electric four-wheel drive system. The powertrain consists of 1.5TI+DCT+ motor, with a vehicle mass of 2000kg, a length, width and height of 4,565/1,830/1,720 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,660 mm. Yuan’s size is smaller than Song’s, and it is also equipped with a dual-mode full-time electric four-wheel drive system. The vehicle’s mass is 1850kg, its length, width and height are 4320/1765/1650mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2520 mm.

  Of course, don’t forget the business. Although it is not an SUV, this MPV model, which was unveiled at last year’s Beijing Auto Show, is also part of BYD’s lineup of new energy vehicles. The company is equipped with dual-engine dual-mode technology, and its hybrid system consists of a 1.5L gasoline engine with a maximum power of 80kW and a 110kW motor, with a combined maximum power of 190kW. It is reported that the car’s comprehensive fuel consumption per kilometer is 2.24L, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 7.5 seconds, which is MPV… … ..

  In addition, in the interview after the press conference, a model named Han was also revealed by Wang Chuanfu, but he did not further disclose the specific parameters and launch time of the car.

  The "Ming" of the finale

  In Wang Chuanfu’s view, BYD’s limit in the field of new energy vehicles is far more than that, and they are "making big moves". BYD said last year that "Tesla was built in minutes", and now this car is really coming.

  At the press conference, Lian Yubo said that BYD will launch the first six-engine four-wheel drive model "Ming" in 2017, which is equipped with an engine and five motors. The five motors are one series motor and four motors that drive four wheels respectively. In BYD’s eyes, this is a six-engine four-wheel drive dual-mode "big killer", and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers will reach 3.9 seconds.

  Wang Chuanfu introduced that in addition to performance optimization, the biggest feature of "Ming" is safety. "Traditional mechanical vehicles are single-point. In the electronic age, they can be driven in a distributed way. Each wheel corresponds to a motor to achieve a negative 100% torque. In 600 milliseconds, many actions can be done to stop traffic accidents by electronic control."

  In addition, Wang Chuanfu revealed that with the technical support of six-engine four-wheel drive, BYD will develop an active safety system, including the functions of car body self-balancing, braking failure prevention, steering failure prevention, rollover prevention and side slip prevention, all of which are intelligently adjusted by driving the wheels of the motor.

  Charging matching

  In addition to the product itself, BYD also publicly displayed the charging tower of pure electric vehicle in the air and the 3+3 circulating stereo charger in Shenzhen Pingshan factory for the first time on the morning of the conference, and released relevant data.

  BYD Tower has 10 floors, and adopts a rotating tower structure. 40 cars can be parked on a single floor, and 400 cars can be parked and charged at the same time on the 10th floor. The 40kW fast charging equipment can fully charge BYD E6 within 2 hours. It is reported that the total power of the entire charging tower is 14400kW. In the charging tower, users can observe the charging status of vehicles in real time through the LED screen in the lounge.

  In addition, the total parking capacity of the 3+3 circulating stereo charger is 72 sets, and there are 2 sets of parking devices consisting of 3 units, each unit can park 12 cars. It is reported that each parking space is equipped with charging equipment with a power of 40kW and a total installed capacity of 2950kW (including lighting and air conditioning). According to the charging time, 216 vehicles can be served every day.

  Che Yun summary:

  Since it set foot in the automobile industry, BYD has always been questioned, speculated and criticized. It is true that we must recognize its problems, such as the matching of vehicle workmanship details with core technologies, such as the capacity problem after the expansion of new energy vehicle product line this year, and so on. However, we should not deny its advantages, such as its corporate engineer culture.

  By the way, in addition to the product itself, BYD has made some progress this time. They gradually realized the value of Difen to themselves. This is a group of people who know BYD better than BYD himself and the media. This conference set up a link where Di Fen represented Wang Chuanfu as a gift. This gift was nothing but a suggestion made by Di Fen to BYD. When Wang Chuanfu received this heavy gift, he choked when he spoke.

  

It is reported that Huawei P70 series mobile phones are testing 6.58/6.8 inch 1.5K micro-curved screens, which support LTPO.

On January 29th, according to @ Digital Chat Station, Huawei P70 series models will be equipped with Kirin 9xxx chip, with 2.5D1.5Ltpo and other deep and micro quad screens of 6.5 inches and 6.8 inches, and the border control is good.

He also revealed before that this new machine is equipped with a 50Mp± IMX989 physically variable aperture main camera, a 50 MP super wide angle and a 50Mp± 4X periscope telephoto macro lens, which may be cut. In addition, the new machine is also expected to be equipped with a new version of satellite communication technology.

In addition, another model of Huawei P70 series is expected to adopt the Howell OV50H sensor, which supports physical variable aperture. It is also reported that the P70 series adopts a triangular Deco with a rear matrix, and is equipped with a headphone stereo double-lift, and the battery uses a high-density battery with a capacity of more than 5000mAh.

According to many reports, 1/1.3-inch OV50H sensor and 1-inch IMX989 sensor are expected to be applied to different models, which may be the difference between P70 and P70 Pro.

At present, Huawei officials have not announced the specific release time of the P70 series, but according to the blogger @ Wisdom Pikachu, this new machine is expected to be released in March.

BYD Han EV test drive evaluation: luxury and technology both live up to the name of flagship.

  Original title: BYD Han EV test drive evaluation: luxury and technology live up to the name of flagship

  Beijing, September 6 (Reporter Zhang Xu) Since the listing of Han EV, it has become BYD’s hottest pure electric car. As a flagship model, it integrates all new technologies and technologies. Brand-new design language, luxurious interior atmosphere, blade battery, IPB intelligent brake and Dillink 3.0 intelligent network connection system are all applied to Han EV, and they live up to the name of flagship.

  Another Deduction of Oriental Aesthetics

  Han EV adopts the latest EV Dragon face family design language. Compared with the previous EV models, it simplifies the exaggerated big mouth grille design and replaces it with this widened matte metal trim. The flat design is not only simple and elegant, but also improves the sense of the whole front.

  The shape of the headlights is slender and magical, and its light source adopts a matrix LED light group. When you unlock the vehicle, LED daytime running lights and LED headlights light up in turn, just like waking up a sleeping dragon, which is very sci-fi. At the same time, the inner folding line design of the lower part of the front bumper with the figure-eight diversion duct not only enriches the shape of the front face, but also brings a strong sense of movement. This brand-new design style has become a unique symbol of BYD EV models.

  From the side, the first impression of Han EV is long, very long. As a flagship model, its body length reaches 4980mm, its width is 1910mm, and its height is only 1495 mm. Together with the wheelbase of 2920mm, it makes the whole look very long and narrow. The through waistline creates a dive posture, and the design that the arched lines at the rear fender are combined with the tailgate cover shows the car’s sense of strength and movement to the fullest.

  In fact, there are some hidden design details and technical configurations on the side of the car body. The first is the hidden electric door handle, which increases the sense of ceremony and also reduces the wind resistance. In addition, the extended door handle is engraved with the LOGO of "Han". This detail is handled very delicately, which always shows the identity of the flagship model.

  Secondly, the exterior rearview mirror similar to the shape of water droplets can further support the reduction of wind resistance. NFC function logo is also marked on the exterior rearview mirror. When you forget to bring your car keys when you travel, you can easily do it with your mobile phone, which is convenient and practical. In addition, thanks to the smooth body lines of the whole vehicle and these fine designs, Han EV can have a drag coefficient of 0.233.

  The design of the rear of the car is still simple and clear. The rear is formed by multiple horizontal lines, which makes the overall visual width even better. The through taillights are decorated with silver chrome, which looks very delicate. The most special thing is that the taillights incorporate the design elements of the dragon claws, and the red light strips inside are very beautiful after lighting.

  Luxury and technology coexist.

  The center console of Han EV is still a familiar dynasty series style. The rotatable central control screen is eye-catching. The leather package that can be reached everywhere is matched with wooden decorative boards and leather stitching, which creates the texture and luxury atmosphere of the whole interior in a very good position.

  In fact, sitting in the car, the first impression is not this luxurious and scientific center console. It’s the seat of Han EV, which is really comfortable. The seat is made of perforated leather, which is in place for leg support, waist support, wrapping on both sides and head support, and the padding of the seat is very soft, just like sitting on a soft and supportive leather sofa. In addition, the seat is also equipped with ventilation and heating function, which can bring high-quality riding experience in winter and summer.

  It is not surprising that the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard appears on BYD models, and the information that can be displayed is also very rich, and it provides three theme modes: classic, concise and sports. However, with the switching of ECO/SPORT driving modes, each theme will also present two different color backgrounds.

  BYD’s latest DiLink3.0 car system is installed in this 15.6-inch rotating screen. The brand-new UI design is the biggest change of the new system. Its design is inspired by Tai Chi and ancient jade elements, and with high resolution and good response speed, the central control screen has excellent visual sense and practicality.

  Han EV’s gear area was officially named "BYDHeart Dragon’s Heart". Its brand-new gear is small and full to grasp, and the layout design of surrounding buttons also improves the convenience of operation. This area is equipped with multiple function buttons such as automatic parking, volume adjustment, driving mode adjustment, kinetic energy recovery adjustment, etc. However, there are also some regrets. Bright black is seriously reflective in the case of sufficient light, and it is still difficult to operate this area while driving.

  Sitting in the back row, the comfort of the seat is as good as that of the front row. The head, back and legs are well supported and wrapped, and the padding in the seat is soft enough. In addition, the boss key, the co-pilot, and the independent air conditioning control panel in the back row are standard in all the EV systems.

  Beyond the driving experience of the same level

  The model we tested this time is the distinguished version of Han EV with long battery life. It adopts the power layout of single motor precursor, and is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with the maximum power of 163kW and the maximum torque of 330N·m, and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.9 seconds. Although it is not as fast as 3.9 seconds per 100 kilometers of the four-wheel drive high-performance flagship model, it can only make a choice in order to have a battery life of 605KM.

  BYD’s blade battery is the highlight, and the space utilization rate inside its battery pack can be improved by 60%-80% compared with the traditional battery pack. This also makes the battery capacity reach 77kWh and the energy density reach 140Wh/kg.

  In daily driving, the accelerator pedal and brake adjustment of Han EV are more like a fuel car. When the vehicle starts to accelerate, the power output of the motor is linear and uniform without any sudden feeling. When braking, the vehicle will stop linearly according to the driver’s braking force. It is worth mentioning that when the vehicle decelerates at low speed, the initial braking force is slightly stiff, but the situation has improved after the adjustment of the comfort of the brake pedal.

  The new car offers three driving modes, except snow mode, ECO and SPORT are the two most commonly used modes. Because it is a single motor model, when driving in ECO or SPORT mode, I feel that there is not much difference between them, but the dynamic response of the latter is faster.

  In addition, the car also provides standard and large two-stage kinetic energy recovery adjustment. When the kinetic energy recovery is in the standard mode, after releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will slow down like a fuel truck without any dragging feeling; When the kinetic energy recovery level is high, although the vehicle will obviously slow down, it does not bring a strong sense of drag, and the whole kinetic energy recovery process is smooth and natural.

  Han EV has excellent control over NVH. In terms of wind noise, thanks to the double-layer glass in the front row, almost no obvious noise can be heard within 100km/h, and the interior quietness is very satisfactory. Compared with the former, the performance of tire noise is slightly inferior. When the vehicle passes through some rough sections, the noise is more obvious, but it is within the acceptable range.

  The car adopts the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the chassis suspension is set with toughness, which ensures the comfort of the car and has certain support. In the face of bumps such as speed bumps, manhole covers and damaged roads, it is handled properly without unnecessary shaking, but the vibration filtering effect is slightly not calm enough for continuous fine vibration.

  summary

  On the whole, the performance of Han EV is quite outstanding. Whether it is the appearance value, interior materials, high configuration and technical strength, it is well-deserved as BYD’s flagship car. And it can meet the needs of many consumers for space, quality and configuration at a price of less than 300 thousand yuan, which may be the secret of keeping sales of Han EV.

BYD’s latest "Wang Fried" seven-seat SUV Tang DM-i officially rolled off the assembly line.

Recently, the car announced that,
(
get away
) The car was officially rolled off the assembly line. The car has been put on sale at this year’s Shanghai Auto Show. There are three models with 52km and 112km pure battery life, and the price range is 189.8-21.68 million yuan. According to the official introduction, as a new derivative version of the Tang family, the comprehensive fuel consumption of new cars equipped with the new DM-i plug-in system will be as low as 5.3(5.5)L/100km.

After several months of fermentation, we should already be familiar with the Tang DM-i, which is a brand-new high-end SUV model on the MD-i platform. The internal and external design and the cash Tang,
-P Similar, the family-style Dragon Face design language is still fashionable and avant-garde, and the design elements such as blue-eyed LED headlights, penetrating taillights and the "Build Your Dreams" logo at the tail are highly recognizable.

In terms of size, the "measurements" of 4870/1950/1725mm and the wheelbase of 2820mm also fully established its status as a luxury seven-seat SUV, and the 20-inch thin banner wheel hub and blackened components surrounded by the front and rear further highlighted the dynamic temperament.

In the interior part, the central control layout is still a familiar family-style design idea. Symbolic elements such as two-spoke steering wheel, full LCD instrument panel, rotatable central control panel and electronic shift lever are all reflected, and vertically arranged air conditioning outlets are also very distinctive.

In the power system, the new car is equipped with BYD’s newly developed DM-i super hybrid system, which consists of a 1.5T hybrid engine (Miller cycle, variable cross-section turbine, 350Bar direct injection, electric drive compressor, electric drive oil pump/water pump), two off-axis dual motors and EHS electromechanical coupling mechanism. Among them, the maximum power of the engine is 102kW, and the front axle motor can output an additional power of 145kW or 160kW. The 0-100km/h acceleration time of EHS160 version is 8.5 seconds.

As a plug-in hybrid car, the new car is also equipped with blade batteries with capacities of 9.98kWh and 112kWh respectively, and its pure electric cruising range is 52km and 112km respectively. According to official data, the overall fuel consumption of the vehicle is only 5.3L/100km and 5.5L/100km; without charging at all. The NEDC cruising range of a new car with full fuel and electricity can reach 1010km and 1050km, which is significantly ahead of all pure fuel vehicles or pure electric vehicles.

Samsung, Xiaomi and other mobile phone factories replenish stocks, and the operating rate of OLED suppliers goes up.

Science and technology innovation board Journal, April 18th. While the global shipment of iPhone plummeted by nearly 10% in the first quarter, smart phone brands such as Samsung and Xiaomi began to increase the inventory of smart phones and OLEDs, which led to an increase in the operating rate of OLED production lines of panel suppliers such as BOE and Huaxing Optoelectronics.

According to South Korea’s The Elec today, citing industry sources,Smartphone companies such as Samsung Electronics, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and Huawei are all increasing the inventory of finished smartphones and OLED panels..

On the one hand, Samsung just replaced Apple in the first quarter and took the throne of "the world’s first mobile phone shipment". In the first quarter, it produced a total of 64.5 million smartphones and tablets, 22% more than the original planned 53 million; Among them, the sales volume of Galaxy S24 series in the first quarter was about 10% higher than that of the previous model, and the sales volume of ultra-low-priced model Galaxy A16 exceeded expectations.

On the other hand, because the sales of iPhone in China market are particularly low, China smart phone companies such as Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and Huawei are looking for opportunities to occupy the iPhone market. An industry insider said, "Smartphone companies in China are oversubscribed.. "

The downstream mobile phone brand factory increased its inventory, and the orders of upstream OLED suppliers naturally rose.

Samsung shows that it has obtained a rigid OLED order for medium and low-priced mobile phones from Samsung Electronics, and the operating rate of related production lines has increased accordingly.. Samsung shows that it has sent a request to the equipment supplier, hoping to introduce relevant equipment to improve the panel performance.

China panel companies such as BOE, Huaxing Optoelectronics, Tianma, Visionox, etc. have also increased the operating rate of the sixth-generation flexible OLED production line. According to the news, some companies expect to fully put into production the 6th generation flexible OLED production line before the end of this year, and there is expected to be a large demand..

However, some insiders reminded that if the actual sales volume of related smartphones does not meet expectations in the future, the operating rate of OLED suppliers may decline.

Can waste lithium batteries be recycled by throwing them into alkaline water? Lawrence national laboratory introduces new battery materials.

  Recycling used lithium batteries is a good business.

  However, at present, mainstream battery recycling enterprises have to face a big trouble, that is, the process of battery recycling consumes a lot of energy, has high economic cost, and will produce a large number of toxic by-products.

  At the beginning of February, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) announced on its official website that the relevant team of the laboratory had developed a Quick-Release Binder. When lithium-ion batteries using this quick-release binder are recycled, they only need to be disassembled and put into alkaline water at room temperature, and the electrode components can be separated by gentle shaking, and then the required components can be filtered out of the water and air-dried.

  At present, the relevant teams are cooperating with onto technologies, an American battery recycling company, to conduct tests, which will soon be introduced to the market.

  It is understood that the binder is a colloidal substance used in most types of batteries (including lithium-ion batteries and commonly used alkaline batteries). Every battery has two electrodes — — A positive electrode and a negative electrode. The electrode is made of conductive chemicals that generate current, and the adhesive binds these active chemical components together and fixes them in a proper position to achieve consistent and lasting performance.

  The quick-release adhesive invented by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory staff is made of two commercially available polymer materials, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), which are connected by chemical bonds between positively charged nitrogen atoms in PEI and negatively charged oxygen atoms in PAA.

  When the solid bonding material is placed in a solution containing sodium hydroxide (Na+OH – ) in alkaline water, sodium ions will enter the connection site, thus separating the two polymer materials. The separated polymer dissolves in the liquid, releasing any electrode components embedded in it.

  The left vial contains a copper foil of the battery current collector. After the quick-release adhesive is dissolved, the valuable electrode components in the battery have been completely released. In the vial on the right, the adhesive is rapidly dissolving in alkaline water. In contrast, the traditional binder strongly adheres the electrode material to the current collector like glue, which makes it difficult to separate and recycle the battery electrode material.

  This is in sharp contrast with the current recycling of waste lithium-ion batteries. It is understood that taking the pyrometallurgical method of lithium-ion battery recycling technology as an example, it is necessary to chop and grind the battery and separate the metal and elements after combustion. The recycling process is not only high in energy consumption and cost, but also releases toxic chemicals that must be handled carefully.

  The quick-release adhesive of Lawrence Laboratories team can be used to manufacture the positive and negative electrodes of batteries, and the price is about one tenth of that of the two most commonly used commercial adhesives for batteries.

  Liu Gao, a senior scientist in the field of energy technology in Berkeley Lab, a member of the Energy Storage Center of Berkeley Lab and the project leader, said: "If we don’t stop burning batteries and throwing them into the trash can, we will run out of resources in the next decade. Cobalt and nickel are not enough, and we must recycle them, otherwise we can’t keep up with the market demand for batteries. "

  Another member of the team said, "In the laboratory scale, preparation is very easy, and we don’t think it will be difficult to promote it to the commercial scale." The team believes that this material can be applied to batteries of all sizes, from small batteries in mobile phones to energy storage batteries in power grids.

  The team’s tests show that this adhesive can be applied to various battery types, such as button cell in the picture.

  In late September 2022, this technology was rated as one of the 100 revolutionary technologies developed globally in 2022 by R&D 100 Awards.

  OnTo Technology, an American battery company, is working with Liu Gao’s team to complete product testing and bring it to market. The existing experiments show that the quick-release adhesive is very stable under high voltage and low voltage, and researchers now plan to use this adhesive to build a prototype lithium-ion battery to analyze its performance.

  According to Steve Sloop, the founder of OnTo Technology, the rapid release of adhesive represents a paradigm shift in battery design. This design paradigm is no longer to design the battery first and try to create a recycling process afterwards, but to become the first design for recycling.

  Assuming that the test goes well, the technology will smoothly transition to commercial manufacturing. Steve Sloop said, "The battery does not contain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which is also a great achievement — — PFAS is a compound used to make non-stick coatings and many other products, but it may cause many health-related problems. "

  It is understood that the development of this quick-release adhesive has been supported by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the US Department of Energy.
