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.
According to incomplete statistics of Battery Network, seven domestic and foreign solid-state battery manufacturers, such as Weilan New Energy, High Energy era, Tai Blue New Energy, SES, Enli Power, Huineng Technology and Factorial Energy, have received new investment since 2022.
Unlike lithium-ion batteries that use liquid electrolytes, solid-state batteries employ solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte. This design minimizes the risk of leakage and thermal runaway, leading to safer and more stable batteries.
Reuters reports that the government has selected CATL, Nio-backed WeLion New Energy Technology, BYD, FAW, SAIC, and Geely to work on a government-led project for developing solid-state batteries. While lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes, solid-state batteries consist of solid electrolytes.
Solid-state batteries are becoming more popular among EV manufacturers. Here's everything you should know about them. SolidEnergy Systems (SES), founded in 2012 by Dr. Qichao Hu, is a company focused on developing and manufacturing next-generation lithium metal batteries.
