The role of inert gases such as neon

Inert gases are not common in our lives. In addition to neon, inert gases also include helium, argon, krypton, xenon, radon and other gases. They are difficult to carry out chemical reactions at normal temperature and pressure, so they are named "inert". This "lazy" gas, although uncommon, has great uses in our lives and is often used as a protective gas.

      Inert gases also have luminous properties when energized, so they can be filled into glass tubes to make neon lights, and different gases can emit different colors; in addition, inert gases are also used in aviation and navigation, electronic information, transportation, Industrial manufacturing and other fields have a wide range of applications, providing great convenience for our lives.

       Impact of Russia's Neon Export Restriction on the World

       With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the global industrial system has been developing in the direction of intelligence and automation. In the industrial system dominated by high technology, chips play a pivotal role.

       The shortage of raw material neon gas has caused the price of chips to rise significantly, generally rising by 5 to 10 times. The rise in chip prices is an increase in production costs for downstream manufacturing companies, which is undoubtedly a huge pressure. Among them, the most affected is the automobile manufacturing industry. There are thousands of chips required to produce a smart car. The rising price of chips makes it one of the main costs of automobile manufacturing. The chain reaction caused by the rise in chip prices will ultimately be borne by consumers, and the price of each smart car will rise accordingly, ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
