Amidst the global wave of energy transition and low-carbon development, the flourishing sectors of EVs, energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices have placed urgent demands for batteries with higher performance and enhanced safety. Although traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries have achieved large-scale commercial application, they are increasingly encountering technological bottlenecks in terms of energy density improvement and safety performance optimization, making it difficult to fully meet the diversified needs of future markets.
Solid-state batteries, as the core development direction for next-generation battery technology, leverage their unique advantage of replacing traditional liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes, demonstrating significant potential for improvement in key performance indicators such as energy density, safety, and cycle life. The research, development, and application of solid-state batteries are not only expected to break through the physical limits of existing battery technologies, driving substantial increases in the driving range of new energy vehicles and further reducing the costs of energy storage systems, but also to provide crucial technological support for the development of emerging fields such as aerospace, smart grids, and wearable devices, thus becoming a strategic high ground in global energy technology competition.
In recent years, major global economies have incorporated the research, development, and industrialization of solid-state battery technology into their national strategic plans, increasing policy support and scientific research investment. China has achieved a series of significant breakthroughs in the field of solid-state batteries, accumulating extensive technical experience in material system innovation, cell structure design, and manufacturing process optimization. Some enterprises have already achieved the preparation and testing verification of solid-state battery samples and are gradually advancing the industrialization process. According to statistics from ICCSINO, China's production of solid-state/semi-solid-state batteries reached 5.2 GWh in 2024. However, the commercial application of solid-state battery technology still faces numerous challenges, such as the need to overcome critical technical issues including the improvement of ionic conductivity in solid electrolytes, the optimization of electrode/electrolyte interface stability, and the development of large-scale production processes. Additionally, further efforts are required to expand market application scenarios, improve industrial chain collaboration mechanisms, and formulate policy, regulatory, and standard frameworks.
Against this backdrop, ICCSINO will host the "2025 (3rd) China Solid-State Battery Technology Development and Market Application Summit Forum" from July 8th to 9th, 2025 (registration on the 8th) at the Holiday Inn Pudong in Shanghai. The forum aims to bring together top experts, scholars, corporate leaders, and representatives from investment institutions in the global solid-state battery field to jointly explore the latest research progress, industrialization pathways, market application trends, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing solid-state battery technology. By establishing a high-end platform for exchange and cooperation, the forum seeks to promote deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application, accelerate innovation breakthroughs and the industrialization process of solid-state battery technology, and drive the healthy and sustainable development of the global solid-state battery industry, contributing wisdom and strength to global energy transition and low-carbon development.
