Etching Application Typical Case in New Energy Industry

Titanium bipolar plate is an important fuel cell component, also known as titanium electrolytic plate or titanium mother plate. It is mainly made of titanium metal, and the specific materials include TA1, TA2, TC4, etc. Titanium bipolar plate has a wide range of specifications, and the thickness can range from 0.4 mm to 50 mm. This bipolar plate can be made by a variety of processing methods, including CNC machining center (for plates with a thickness greater than 3 mm), etching machine processing (for plates with a thickness of 1-3 mm), and stamping processing (for plates with a thickness of less than 1 mm). In addition, titanium bipolar plates can also be plated with platinum or gold plating to improve their performance. During the processing, the plate is required to be annealed and leveled to ensure that the plate surface is free of defects, inclusions, scratches, and keep the surface smooth and flat. ‌

The wide application fields of titanium bipolar plates include but are not limited to hydrogen battery electrolysis, hydrogen production by high-performance hydrogen battery, wastewater treatment, electrolytic copper foil manufacturing, steel plate galvanizing, chrome plating, etc. ‌ Especially in hydrogen production electrolyzers, titanium bipolar plates are an important component of electrodes. Their corrosion resistance and excellent conductivity make them an ideal material choice. ‌ Compared with titanium monopolar plates, titanium bipolar plates have the functions of separating fuel and oxidant, collecting and conducting current in structure. At the same time, they have good corrosion resistance, impact and vibration resistance, as well as low cost and easy machining, making them suitable for mass production. ‌ These characteristics make titanium bipolar plates play an important role in the fields of automobiles, distributed power generation and portable power sources.

Etching Application Trends and Innovation in New Energy Industry

New energy is relative to traditional coal, oil and gas, and mainly includes two categories: one is hydropower, wind power, nuclear energy, solar energy, biomass energy, etc., and the other is the new power formed by technological innovation and transformation of traditional energy. It can be expected that the new technological revolution will revolve around new energy. It will bring major changes to the future economic development model. It is the basic power of human survival and social and economic development. At present, 2/3 of the world‘s energy comes from oil and natural gas. The largest company in the energy industry is the oil company. Since most of coal, oil and natural gas are underground, the reserves of the energy industry are limited, which fundamentally limits the potential growth level of the economy. More importantly, it takes a long process from underground mining to pipeline transportation to refinery processing and then to the hands of users and consumers. There are problems of climate, ecology and environmental pollution at every stage of the industrial chain. With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, to solve the climate crisis and environmental crisis, we must turn to clean production, among which the development, production and application of energy-saving products and new energy are the most important parts. New energy is relative to traditional coal, oil and gas, and mainly includes two categories: one is hydropower, wind power, nuclear energy, solar energy, biomass energy, etc., and the other is the new power formed by technological innovation and transformation of traditional energy. It can be expected that the new technological revolution will revolve around new energy and will bring major changes to the future economic development model.

Trend: Technological innovation and industrial upgrading are important directions for the future development of the new energy industry, and green, low-carbon and sustainable development are the core value pursuits of the future development of the new energy industry. ‌ With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, new energy technologies will continue to innovate and break through, promote industrial upgrading and high-quality development, pay more attention to market integration and cross-border cooperation to achieve resource sharing and complementary advantages, and become increasingly open and interconnected. ‌ For example, new high-efficiency photovoltaic materials, advanced energy storage technologies, smart grid technologies, etc. will continue to emerge and be widely used; new energy vehicles, smart homes and other new energy products.
