Are Chinese companies ready for a solid-state battery?

Solid-state batteries are sensitive to moisture, so their manufacturers need special equipment to keep humidity away from production lines. While government initiatives should accelerate solid-state battery development, Chinese companies aren’t waiting. Battery makers have already started formulating plans for the next-gen technology.

Is China's largest lithium mining company a battery manufacturer?

China’s largest lithium mining company has transformed itself into a battery manufacturer, and is now the very first company to announce mass production of revolutionary solid-state batteries.

Are sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries coming to China?

At a conference held by the China Automotive Battery Innovation Alliance late last week, Ouyang Minggao, a renowned battery expert and an academician with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that in China, the closest technical route to industrialization is the sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries.

Should China commercialize all-solid-state batteries before 2035?

Ouyang suggested that instead of producing only samples, China must strive to commercialize all-solid-state batteries with an energy density of more than 400 Wh/kg and 800 Wh/L before 2035.

Will China build a solid-state battery supply chain by 2030?

Aiming to build a supply chain for solid-state batteries by 2030, Beijing in January set up a consortium, the China All-Solid-State Battery Collaborative Innovation Platform (CASIP), which brings together government, academia and industry, including EV battery rivals CATL and BYD.

Are automakers making a solid-state battery?

A batch of automakers and battery firms have announced solid progress has been made in that direction. Battery maker Sunwoda told China Daily that it has finished R&D of its all-solid-state battery with an energy density of more than 400 Wh/kg, and plans to mass-produce it by 2026, with an estimated production capacity of 1 gigawatt-hour.
