China Unveils First National Standard for Solid-State Batteries

China has taken a step toward industrializing solid-state battery technology with the release of its first national standard, published by the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee on December 30. The new standard aims to establish terminology and classifications for these advanced batteries.Key TakeawaysThe draft includes a strict classification system based on ion transfer methods and electrolyte type.To qualify as solid-state, the weight loss rate must not exceed 0.5% under specific testing conditions.A more stringent verification criterion than previous industry guidelines is introduced to ensure quality control.The new standard defines three types of batteries based on ion transfer methods: liquid electrolyte, hybrid solid-liquid, and pure solid-state. This classific...

GAC Pioneers Solid-State Batteries with Early Pilot Production

The GAC Group, a prominent Chinese automaker, has taken a significant step forward in solid-state battery technology. Chairman Feng Xingya announced at Auto Guangzhou that the company is now producing small batches of automotive-grade cells with capacities exceeding 60 Ah. This marks an important milestone as GAC prepares to validate their performance through real-world testing in vehicles.GAC has been dedicated to researching solid-state battery technology since 2016, focusing initially on polymer-based systems before branching out into sulfide-based cell development. The company plans to ramp up production gradually over the next decade, aiming for mass manufacturing between 2027 and 2030.With an eye on increasing energy density, GAC is employing advanced materials like 'sponge silicon' ...
