The International Energy Agency recently released the “World Energy Outlook 2022” report shows that as more and more countries begin to accelerate the energy transition, the global clean energy industry has entered a period of rapid development, renewable energy generation is expected to grow 20% in 2022. thanks to the growth of wind, solar and other clean energy generation, this year’s global carbon dioxide emissions are expected to increase from the 2021 4% to 1%.

Recently, David Moss, Nissan's senior vice president of R&D in Europe, said that Nissan has successfully developed all-solid-state batteries and aims to start trial production in 2025 and produce a new electric car powered by solid-state batteries in 2028. Since solid-state batteries are characterized by long-lasting range, fast payback, and long lifespan, they are likely to be an important and transformative technology for the next phase of electric vehicle competition.

Recently, NASA (NASA) said that its research and development of solid-state batteries for aviation has made a major breakthrough. NASA in its official website, NASA has developed a successful solid-state battery energy density of 500Wh/kg, almost twice the energy density of the best electric car battery – Tesla’s 4680 lithium batteries have an energy density of about 300Wh/kg.

Recently, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has risen sharply, triggering market concerns. How to deal with rising lithium prices? Government departments and relevant associations are urging enterprises to strengthen self-discipline, promote the cooperation of upstream and downstream enterprises, a number of arrows for the lithium price “cooling”.

Due to better safety and high theoretical capacity, the development of solid-state lithium metal batteries with solid-state electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes has attracted much attention, and thus the development of solid-state electrolytes has become particularly important.
