The fourth competition has received active registration from 47 universities and 134 teams. Finally, the novel response team from Peking University, with its innovative solution of "Stable anionic REDOX modulated by local structural symmetry", stood out from the fierce competition of 8 teams in the final and won the national gold medal. Seven teams from Beijing Institute of Technology, Tianjin Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University won silver and bronze prizes.
Since its inception, the New China College Student Power Battery Innovation Competition has focused on the field of new energy power battery, which is the most rapidly developing national industry, and has been cared and guided by the national power battery industry and new energy industry authority.
Under the guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, as the guiding unit of the competition, is a key institution that has integrated the whole industrial chain of power batteries upstream and downstream, and promoted collaborative innovation in the industry by relying on the national strategy of focusing. Mr. Dong Yang, chairman of China Automotive power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, attended the scene and fully affirmed the competition. He said, "China's new energy vehicles have made remarkable achievements in the three-wheel drive road of government promotion, industry follow-up and market-driven technology development. As one of the core technologies of new energy vehicles, the development of power battery has also made rapid progress. With the once-in-a-century automobile revolution, the development of Chinese automobile technology has developed from the initial follow learning and introduction to the current innovative development. College students' power battery innovation competition will become an important part of the electric vehicle technology innovation ecology, not only to train talents, but also to promote the research and development of enterprises and research units, technology development will be a huge role."
Hou Fushen, executive director of International Automotive Engineering Technology Innovation Strategy Research Institute, congratulated on the success of the contest for 4 consecutive years. The institute is a high-end think tank for engineering science and technology strategic research created by China Society of Automotive Engineering, which supports the new technological changes of the national automobile industry and leads the direction of innovative technology. Hou Fushen, the executive director, shared at the scene that with the implementation of the two-carbon strategy, the automobile industry is moving towards the transformation development of the new Four modernization, speeding up the establishment of green, low-carbon, intelligent, efficient, safe, convenient and sustainable transportation system and the establishment of a new power system with new energy as the main body. The development of power battery technology is the core technical support to realize the transformation of green electricity and electrification of transportation and energy. Power battery is a technical field with high innovation activity, large R&D input, rapid technological development and iteration, and broad development prospects. He encouraged the students to take the competition as an opportunity to have a deeper understanding of the needs of the industry, to follow the development trend of technology, and to improve their professional knowledge and skills.
Hit the forefront of technology development innovative solutions to challenge the industry difficulties
In order to ensure the authoritative and fair selection of the competition, the competition invited top experts to form a jury to give professional evaluation and guidance to the students. Professor Huang Xuejie, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, commented that this competition has reached a new high. The entries can grasp the forefront of the industry and important issues, and have made full and serious preparations. Even through the screen, you can feel the enthusiasm of the students fighting for their ideals.
Xiao Chengwei, director of 18 Institute of China Electronics Science and Technology Group, also approved the professionalism of the entries. "The innovative scheme of the competition includes the research of high specific energy materials for lithium-ion batteries, the discussion of new system batteries, and the development of innovative ideas such as industrial application of technology combined with intelligent batteries and hybrid power supply." It is expected that the research results will have a good application prospect in the future.
The jury unanimously expressed that the competition focuses on more precise and precise questions, and directly addresses the pain points and difficulties of the industry development. The hope is to create energy-dense, safer and cheaper batteries through more innovative solutions. The competition provides a platform for young students to show their talents and research, and is a creative integration of innovation and science popularization. We look forward to having more professional and enthusiastic students join the competition stage in the future.
With an open and innovative strategy, let the flowers of innovation begin in China and blossom around the world
LG New Energy, the initiator of the competition, has been committed to the professional research and exploration of power batteries, and continues to lead the technological development of the industry. Mr. Jeong Geun-chang, Senior Vice President of LG New Energy and President of LG New Energy Battery Research Institute, said in a video address, "30 years of R&D investment has enabled LG New Energy to accumulate the world's first original technology patents for lithium batteries and more than 25,000 registered patents, providing power battery technology solutions for the world's top 10 automotive companies such as Volkswagen, General Motors and Renault-Nissan alliance . We are committed to enabling technology innovation in the global battery industry. This competition is based on our strategy to accelerate battery technology innovation and create a sustainable future. We believe that the innovative spirit and passion of university students will bring a better future for China and the world."
Mr. Sun Xingqi, General Manager of LG New Energy China Business Support, said that in the coming decades, China will become the core stage of global new energy vehicle development and green energy transition. LG New Energy China will increase local innovation and actively contribute to the development of China's new energy industry and the realization of the dual carbon goal. At the same time, as an industry driver,LG New Energy is committed to building the competition into the most influential technology innovation platform for college students and reserve talent incubation in China with the spirit of open innovation. Through the competition, more industries, scholars and young talents will be gathered to jointly create and witness the future electric revolution and energy transformation.
Chinese college students power battery innovation competition
China College Student Power Battery Innovation Competition is one of the earliest professional competitions for domestic college students and focuses on new energy power battery technology innovation. It is also a research and innovation platform for joint enterprises, industry institutions and universities in the field of power batteries. The competition was initiated by LG New Energy in 2018. China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance and International Automotive Engineering Technology Innovation Strategy Research Institute, as guiding units, gave important support to the competition. In 2019,LG New Energy and China College Students Knowledge and Action Promotion Program co-hosted the competition to continue to support the growth and development of college students. The four competitions have attracted a total of 342 college student teams from 66 universities across the country to apply,1250 college students directly participated, and 205 experts and teachers to provide professional guidance for the college student teams. The participating teams posted more than 2,480 pushes, attracting more than 900,000 public attention.
