CATL's condensed batteries leverage highly conductive biomimetic condensed-state electrolytes that can tune interaction forces between chains to accommodate changes in ultra-high energy density materials caused by electrochemical reactions at the micron level. Build a self-adaptive net structure. It is said that the conductive performance of the cell and the lithium ion transport efficiency are improved, and the stability of the microstructure is enhanced.

In addition, the condensed battery integrates various innovative technologies such as ultra-high energy density cathode materials, innovative anode materials, separators and manufacturing processes to achieve excellent charge-discharge performance and excellent safety performance. doing.

CATL says the technology breaks through the limits that have long constrained the battery sector and opens up new electrification scenarios centered on high levels of safety and weight savings. We are working with partners in the development of electric passenger aircraft, practicing aviation-level planning and testing in line with aviation-grade safety and quality requirements. It also plans to mass-produce and launch an automotive-grade condensed battery in 2023.



CATL's chief scientist Wu Kai said, 'Meeting customer requirements is the core driving force behind CATL's technological innovation.'
