Driven by global energy transition and environmental protection concepts, the development of next-generation power battery technology is urgent. At present, consumers still have high demands for the range and energy replenishment of new energy vehicles, and the problem of range degradation of new energy vehicles is prominent in cold weather. At the same time, policy requirements are becoming stricter, and the European Union has put forward higher emission requirements for Chinese power battery companies through carbon border taxes and new battery regulations. Within the industry, there is a severe overcapacity, declining raw material prices, high battery replacement costs, and some key technologies have not yet been broken through, such as the production process of cylindrical battery full pole ears and the industrial chain challenges of all solid state batteries, all of which are restricting the development of the industry.

Faced with numerous challenges, the next generation of power battery technology has also shown many development trends. At the high-performance level, emerging material systems continue to emerge, and rich lithium manganese based materials are expected to be mixed in positive electrode materials in the future. Silicon negative electrode materials have been used in vehicles, and sodium ion batteries have also been applied in energy storage and passenger car fields; The full pole ear technology for large cylindrical batteries is gradually maturing and is expected to be mass-produced around 2026; CTB/CTC and other battery integration technologies have been applied in mainstream automotive companies; In terms of solid-state batteries, the sulfide route has become mainstream, and multiple companies have already laid out their plans. Mass production and installation will be carried out around 2027. Low cost direction, dry process technology has significant cost advantages and is suitable for new battery technologies, but still needs to solve problems such as adhesive matching; The standardization process of batteries is advancing, and mainstream enterprises have launched standard battery cell products; AI technology assists in battery research and production, reducing full cycle costs; Power batteries are also penetrating into new fields such as flying cars. In the field of high safety, intelligent BMS strengthens the full life cycle control, expands the usage scenarios of wide temperature range batteries, and can be charged and discharged in an environment with a minimum temperature of -40 ℃. In terms of low carbonization, the battery recycling system is gradually improving, the construction of zero carbon factories is accelerating, and enterprises such as CATL are actively laying out to save energy and reduce emissions through various means.
