On January 17, six departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued guidance on promoting the development of the energy & electronics industry, which required the development of safe and economical new-type batteries for energy storage. Efforts will be made to tackle key problems in the industrialization of new-type energy storage batteries, and promote the large-scale application of advanced energy storage technologies. China will make breakthroughs in key technologies such as ultra-long life and high-safety battery systems, large-scale and large-capacity efficient energy storage technologies, and mobile storage for transportation applications, and accelerate the research of new-type batteries such as solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and hydrogen storage/fuel cells. China will promote intelligent production processes and equipment, advanced integration & manufacturing technologies, and performance testing and evaluation technologies. China will also improve its ability to secure key resources such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and platinum, strengthen the application of alternative materials, and promote hybrid energy storage systems based on complementary power-type/energy-type electrochemical energy storage technologies.
China speeds up Research of Solid-state Batteries, Sodium-ion Batteries And Other New Batteries
