my country's fuel power cell industry is constantly advancing on the road of independent core technology development -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
At this stage, the domestic electric stack market is still dominated by foreign companies, and there is a big gap between domestic and foreign companies. Under such circumstances, there is nothing wrong with exchanging the market for technology, and we should also thank domestic companies that have invested heavily in the introduction of advanced technology.
However, even with the status quo, localization is still an inevitable trend
In recent years, the domestic fuel power cell industry has achieved remarkable development, such as Xinyuan Power, Dongfang Electric, Edelman Hydrogen Energy, Zhongyu Power, Shanghai Shenli, Jiangsu Qingneng, Jiangsu Hydrogen Power, Hydrogen, Forsey, and Tomorrow Hydrogen Can wait for the company's stack technology to have made great progress.

hydrogen tomorrow
Anhui Tomorrow Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was established in August 2017. The company has built (partially under construction) a research and development and manufacturing base for fuel power cell systems, with bipolar plates, MEA, stacks, compressors, and hydrogen cycles. The key core technology of the whole industry chain such as device and fuel cell system integration and control.
Relying on the research and development achievements of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in the field of proton membrane fuel power cell technology for more than 20 years, Tomorrow Hydrogen has successfully developed a commercial fuel cell stack with metal bipolar plates. Its volume specific power Higher than 3.0kW/L; the stack power range is overturned 20-100kW; the energy utilization efficiency is high, and the hydrogen utilization rate is greater than 90%.
At present, the development and development of different types of vehicle stacks and fuel power cell modules for power generation can be carried out according to user needs.
Many stack companies have received investment
For capital cooperation between companies, technology leadership is one aspect. Supply chain support, market resources, after-sales service, and mutual trust between companies will all affect the direction of capital cooperation between companies.
Our country's user companies should adopt more domestic power stacks with their own core technologies
Looking back on the cooperation between foreign fuel power cell companies and my country in the past, for example, Ballard has cooperated with Zhongjuda Lithium Power Corporation many times since 2013. In terms of key technology transfer such as bipolar plate and stack processing, foreign companies will The core technology of fuel cell stacks is in hand and is not open to our country.
And these key technologies are the bottleneck of the development of fuel power cells in my country, just like the chip technology in the electronic field. If you rely on foreign technology for a long time and purchase foreign electric stacks without technical authorization, you will be constrained everywhere. In order to break through the bottleneck of fuel cell development, independent controllability of core technology is crucial.
At present, many companies have owned independent intellectual property rights at various levels such as key materials, key components, and the entire stack system, and have completed technical research on core components of fuel power cells such as bipolar plates and membrane electrodes. An initiative to break the monopoly of technology.
On the issue of core technology, domestic companies must maintain R&D investment on the premise of solving the partnership with advanced technology, accelerate the localization of key technologies, and gradually get rid of the dilemma that core technologies are controlled by others.
Only under the premise that my country's core fuel cell technology is independent, independent, and self-reliant can the domestic fuel cell industry break through the shackles and achieve greater development.
Therefore, we call on more companies to adopt our country's power generation stacks with their own core technologies.
The government should provide relevant policy support to facilitate the promotion of domestic stacks
In fact, in addition to calling on more companies to use domestically produced electric stacks with their own core technologies, we also call on the state to provide a series of corresponding supporting policies for domestically produced electric stack companies and companies that use domestically produced electric stacks.
Referring to the new material insurance policy, we call on relevant state agencies to customize corresponding insurance policies for fuel power cell products. Fuel power cell stack processing companies independently purchase insurance, and the central government appropriately subsidizes insurance premiums for insurance companies. Its core is to give full play to the leverage of financial funds, use insurance means to reduce user risks, and promote the development of localized use of fuel cell stacks.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
Due to the late start of my country's fuel power cell industry, the foundation is relatively weak, but we are pleasantly surprised to see that many Chinese companies are working hard in this field, and they are constantly striving to win the international voice in this field for our country. We should give the industry and these companies more time and tolerance.
