A section of Batteries (ISSN 2313-0105).
Section Information
Electrification is a crucial choice for the technological transformation of modern transportation and the achievement of the dual carbon goals worldwide. When it comes to this, the key technology is the on-board energy storage system, which is related to the cruising range and power performance of vehicles. Improving energy density and safety is a persistent goal in the technological iteration of energy storage systems. For lithium-ion power batteries, the technological routes focus on three aspects: innovation in cathode, anode and electrolyte at the material level, compressing redundant space through integrated technology at the structural level, and synchronous upgrading at the process and supporting levels, forming a multi-dimensional breakthrough system. Solid-state batteries take electrolyte material innovation as the core, combined with interface engineering optimization and structural process upgrading, forming a multi-path breakthrough system, with semi-solid-state and all-solid-state technologies advancing in parallel. Intelligent batteries take the "perception–algorithm–architecture" trinity technology as the core, constructing a full-lifecycle intelligent management system that runs through the entire process of battery design, operation and maintenance, solving the industry problems of short cycle life and high safety risks of high-energy-density power batteries.
