On April 11th, according to Cailian Press, CATL will release solid-state battery technology and zero-carbon strategy at the 2023 Shanghai International Auto Show. It is reported that solid-state batteries have high safety, strong reliability, and long cycle life.
Last October, CATL stated on its investor platform that it has been leading international research and development, and has formed a series of products including high-energy density ternary high-nickel batteries and cost-effective lithium iron phosphate batteries. Currently, it is promoting battery technology layouts such as sodium-ion, M3P, solid-state, cobalt-free, all-solid-state, and rare metal-free batteries.
CATL Chairman Zeng Yuqun previously revealed that besides its Blade Battery, they are also researching and developing more new types of batteries, such as all-solid-state batteries, semi-solid-state batteries, and even solid-state batteries that most people have not heard of.
Zeng Yuqun believes that innovation in the chemistry system, structure, manufacturing, and business model of power batteries can push the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
Experts say that the core of solid-state batteries is the ability to achieve superfluidity, superconductivity, stability, and superior conductivity between particles. In simple terms, the battery is more stable, has a larger capacity, and has faster conductivity.
In simple terms, a solid-state system refers to a system composed of a large number of particles with strong mutual interactions between them. Various types of condensed matter exist in nature, including low-temperature superfluidity, superconductivity, Bose-Einstein condensates, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states in magnetic materials, etc.
The research focus of condensed matter physics includes correlated materials, quantum phase transitions, and the application of quantum field theory in condensed matter systems. The problems to be solved include high-temperature superconductivity, topological order, and the theoretical description of new materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes.
