High-temperature batteries are batteries that can operate stably in high-temperature environments (typically above 60°C, with some able to withstand temperatures above 100°C). Their special high-temperature resistance allows them to play an important role in many scenarios where traditional batteries are unsuitable. The following are their main areas of application:
1. Industrial sector
High-temperature production environments: In high-temperature production workshops such as steel, metallurgy, and glass manufacturing, high-temperature batteries can be used as power sources for sensors, monitoring equipment, and automated control devices, ensuring that equipment operates normally under sustained high temperatures. For example, they can be used to power wireless sensor nodes that monitor furnace temperature and pressure.
Petrochemical industry: In underground equipment used in oil field extraction (such as logging instruments) and high-temperature pipeline monitoring devices in refineries, high-temperature batteries can withstand the high-temperature environments found underground or near pipelines, providing stable power to the equipment.
II. New Energy and Energy Storage Sector
01. Solar thermal power generation systems:
In solar thermal power generation, the high temperatures generated by concentration may affect the performance of ordinary batteries. High-temperature batteries can be used to power control and monitoring equipment in the system or as auxiliary energy storage units.
02. High-temperature energy storage scenarios:
In certain special energy storage applications (such as energy storage systems combined with industrial waste heat), high-temperature batteries can directly participate in energy storage and release, adapting to the high-temperature operating conditions of the system.
3. Aerospace field
01. Spacecraft and satellites:
When spacecraft fly within the atmosphere or enter space, they may encounter extreme temperature differences (including high temperatures). High-temperature batteries can be used as emergency power supplies or power units for specific instruments to ensure normal operation in high-temperature environments.
02. Aviation equipment:
Monitoring equipment near aircraft engines, sensors in high-temperature areas, and other equipment require high-temperature batteries to provide power to ensure stable operation during flight.
IV. Military and Defense Sector
Weapons and equipment: Missiles, tanks, and other weapons and equipment may be exposed to high-temperature environments during operation or combat (e.g., near the exhaust plume during missile launch or in the engine compartment of a tank). High-temperature batteries can serve as backup or primary power sources for their guidance systems and communication devices.
Field Military Operations: Portable devices (such as communication radios and reconnaissance instruments) used in high-temperature regions like deserts and tropical areas can rely on high-temperature batteries to adapt to harsh high-temperature environments and ensure device runtime.
V. Automobiles and Transportation
01. Automotive engine compartment equipment:
The engine compartment of traditional or new energy vehicles has high temperatures. High-temperature batteries can be used as backup power sources for in-compartment sensors (such as temperature and pressure sensors) and electronic control units to prevent power interruptions caused by high temperatures.
02. Specialized Vehicles:
Engineering vehicles operating in high-temperature environments (such as desert off-road vehicles and high-temperature mining transport vehicles) can utilize high-temperature batteries to power their onboard electronic equipment, thereby enhancing equipment reliability.
6. Scientific Research and Exploration
01. Geological and marine exploration:
Geological exploration equipment that goes deep underground and robots that explore deep-sea hydrothermal vents work in high-temperature environments. High-temperature batteries can provide them with long-term, stable power support, ensuring the continuous transmission of exploration data.
02. High-temperature laboratory environments:
In high-temperature experiments, instruments and equipment used to monitor experimental parameters may need high-temperature batteries as independent power sources to avoid external power lines being affected by high temperatures.
The core application of high-temperature batteries lies in addressing issues such as capacity degradation, reduced lifespan, and decreased safety that traditional batteries face under high-temperature conditions. As industries like automation and extreme environment exploration continue to develop, the application scenarios for high-temperature batteries are constantly expanding. Different types of high-temperature batteries—such as high-temperature lithium batteries, high-temperature sodium batteries, and high-temperature fuel cells—will also be applied in specific fields based on their performance differences.
