As the COVID-19 epidemic shakes up the global economy, the electric vehicle industry continues to be an innovative growth point for a sustainable future. In July of this year, Norway set a world record. In the first half of 2020, the sales of pure electric vehicles accounted for almost half of the country's car sales, which made the headlines. At the same time, Tesla is continuing to reduce the price of its electric models and to announce its plans for rechargeable batteries.
In addition, according to the latest report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), with the sharp drop in oil demand, innovative technologies for pure electric vehicles are gaining attention. The report also emphasized that electric travel and the main materials used to make rechargeable car batteries are also becoming more and more important.

According to foreign media reports, Israeli-British smart 3D battery startup Addionics is developing rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and other applications. Now is the prime time to show off its cost-effective, scalable, and transformative battery structure.
Addionics is committed to changing the chemical reaction kinetics of batteries to improve battery performance, range, life, safety, charging time and cost-effectiveness. While other companies in the field of rechargeable batteries were looking for new battery chemistries and cheaper materials, Addionics scientists came up with an out-of-the-box manufacturing method that can improve the performance of any battery.

The company created a new method of storing energy, creating a porous surface for the electrode, which can directly affect the behavior of the battery. This smart 3D structure can minimize the internal resistance of the battery, improve its mechanical life, thermal stability, and other limiting factors and degradation factors that affect standard batteries.
Dr. Moshiel Biton, CEO of Addionics, said: "We believe that batteries have a lot of room for improvement. Everyone is paying attention to their chemical composition. We are taking different methods. We can simulate how the battery architecture and porous layer affect its performance. If everything goes according to plan, Addionics' technology will change the way energy is stored and transmitted and have a positive impact on the environment. By achieving higher energy density and longer life, we can reduce the cost of batteries by 10% to 15% %."

The company has used groundbreaking methods, but also hopes to be able to integrate with existing OEM battery assembly lines in order to popularize its technology. This smart 3D metal architecture of rechargeable batteries is considered a drop-in solution.
Biton said: "We know that the battery industry is very traditional, so we want to provide a solution that does not change the chemical composition, infrastructure or supply chain. We want to be able to rely on the smallest changes to have the greatest impact. Now, we are adopting Existing technology and better engineering design, improve and further enhance the battery."
About 7 years ago, when Biton heard that a smartphone battery malfunction would cause the battery to overheat and explode, the idea of ​​changing the battery structure instead of the chemical composition was born. At that time, Biton was a doctoral student at Imperial College London, and he decided to investigate and explore the issue immediately.

In the end, Biton discovered that the needle-like structure that plagued lithium batteries-dendrites can short-circuit the battery and cause an explosion. Later, he sought the help of the teacher at the time and asked the teacher to cooperate with him to complete the task of changing energy storage. As a result, Addionics co-founder and chief strategy officer Dr. Farid Tariq and co-founder and chief technology officer Dr. Vladimir Yufit acted as its academic advisors, and eventually left Imperial College London and co-founded Addionics in 2018.
Addionics is headquartered in London, England and Tel Aviv, Israel. It has received US$6 million in financing, including a round of financing led by Next Gear Ventures and US$2.5 million in funding from the company in the prestigious Horizon 2020 EU competition.
Of course, Addionics is just one of many players in the highly competitive field of battery innovation. In Israel, new battery material creators StoreDot, Phinergy and CENS have also recently received media attention for their progress in the field of electric vehicles.
At present, Addionics mainly focuses on the automotive market, but is also developing technologies for consumer electronics, medical equipment, grid energy storage, drones and other products. Last year, Addionics also participated in Ignite, Intel’s startup support program. (Yu Qiuyun)
The globe valve is used to cut off the flow of the medium. The globe valve is suitable for frequently opened occasions. The sealing parts of the globe valve are the disc and the valve seat. In order to make the globe valve close tightly, the mating surface of the disc and the valve seat should be grinding or using gaskets. The sealing surface can also be inset with bronze, stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials. The disc and stem of the globe valve are connected with each other, so that the disc and stem are closely fitted. The lifting of the disc of the globe valve is generally controlled by the stem. The upper part of the stem of the globe valve is the handwheel, and the middle part is the thread and packing sealing section. The role of the packing is to prevent the internal medium of the valve body from leaking along the stem.
