With the large-scale application of new energy vehicles (such as electric vehicles) and smart grids, the limited lithium resources and their uneven geographical distribution in China have become the main bottlenecks in the development of lithium-based new energy industries in the country.
China's lithium-based new energy industry also has some disadvantages, and one of the most prominent of these is its lithium resource bottleneck. The lithium-based new energy industry is a system of major components, such as lithium mining, linked together in an intimate and interdependent relationship.
In 2019, China passed lithium raw materials, lithium battery materials, lithium batteries, and the total net outflow of lithium from new energy vehicles is about 11.669 thousand tons, while the domestic consumption of lithium produced by new energy vehicles in 2019 is only 9.06 thousand tons.

Lead–acid batteries may be flooded or sealed valve-regulated (VRLA) types and the grids may be in the form of flat pasted plates or tubular plates. The various constructions have different technical performance and can be adapted to particular duty cycles. Batteries with tubular plates offer long deep cycle lives.
Lead–acid batteries have been used for energy storage in utility applications for many years but it has only been in recent years that the demand for battery energy storage has increased.
Improvements to lead battery technology have increased cycle life both in deep and shallow cycle applications. Li-ion and other battery types used for energy storage will be discussed to show that lead batteries are technically and economically effective. The sustainability of lead batteries is superior to other battery types.
Safety needs to be considered for all energy storage installations. Lead batteries provide a safe system with an aqueous electrolyte and active materials that are not flammable. In a fire, the battery cases will burn but the risk of this is low, especially if flame retardant materials are specified.
The lead-acid (PbA) battery was invented by Gaston Planté more than 160 years ago and it was the first ever rechargeable battery.

Integrating renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, is essential to reducing carbon emissions for sustainable development.
The solid state chlorine-ion batteries have improved the safety of the battery. Not only that, solid-state CIBs generally have a higher energy density because they do not require liquid electrolytes, allowing for greater energy storage efficiency. This allows solid-state CIBs to store more energy in the same volume.
Furthermore, chloride ion batteries (CIBs) based on chloride ions (Cl −) shuttling have raised much attention because of the abundant sources, high energy density, and large potential in large-scale energy storage applications, .
