3. Economic Daily: Work together to curb the chaos of auto loans.

The frequent occurrence of automobile loan fraud cases has become a major problem in the automobile industry. Similar cases are common, and some cases even cost more than 100 million yuan. This behavior not only brought huge losses to auto financing companies, but also seriously affected the healthy development of the auto market. Auto financing companies and auto dealers need to be more strict and meticulous in customer qualification examination and loan approval process. For any abnormal trading behavior, there should be more acute vigilance and strict review mechanism. For consumers, when buying a car, they should know the information of the car in many aspects, including the source, price and quality of the car, and try to choose a car dealer with brand guarantee. Don’t blindly trust some unreliable merchants because of the greed for cheap. In addition, government departments should strengthen the supervision of the auto finance industry and establish a cross-departmental and cross-regional cooperation mechanism.

6, waste lithium battery recycling to be standardized

In recent years, with the rising price of metal raw materials such as lithium, the recycling industry of waste lithium batteries has become a "hot" track. Experts and enterprises interviewed said that the recycling of waste lithium batteries can not only solve the environmental problems brought by retired lithium batteries, but also help to make up for the shortage of key mineral resources such as lithium, cobalt and nickel in China. On the occasion of the "retirement tide" of power batteries in new energy vehicles, efforts should be made to standardize recycling channels, formulate industry standards and strengthen supervision to promote the benign development of waste lithium batteries recycling industry.

14. The life of zinc battery is greatly increased, and it is expected to be comparable to lithium battery.

Compared with lithium-ion batteries, zinc-ion batteries have the ability to store a lot of energy and the risk of fire is lower. However, repeated charge and discharge cycles often lead to the formation of dendrites on the surface of zinc, thus reducing the life of the battery. The research team combined the biopolymer xanthan gum with the ionic conductive polymer to form the protective film of the battery electrode. The protective film is rich in oxygen functional groups, which can make zinc evenly deposited on the electrode surface, and the dendrite problem is obviously alleviated. Even after repeated charge and discharge for 200 days, the film shows remarkable stability. (First Electric)
