Jiangsu HSC New Energy Materials (SH:688353) 高工锂电·2025-10-20 13:12Core Viewpoint - The solid-state battery industry is experiencing significant breakthroughs in commercialization, driven by advancements across the entire supply chain, from downstream applications to upstream materials [5][12]. Downstream Applications - Chery Automobile showcased its "Rhino S" solid-state battery module with an energy density of 600Wh/kg, which is over twice that of mainstream liquid lithium batteries. This battery is expected to enable electric vehicles to achieve a range of 1200-1300 kilometers, with potential to exceed 1500 kilometers, addressing consumer range anxiety. Chery plans to conduct trial operations in 2026 and aims for full-scale production by 2027 [6][7][8]. Midstream Manufacturing - Zhengli New Energy announced plans to raise approximately HKD 500 million through the issuance of new H-shares, with 10% allocated for the construction of a solid-state battery pilot production line. This move indicates a strategic shift towards next-generation battery technologies, focusing on sulfide solid electrolytes and all-solid-state batteries [10][11]. Upstream Materials - Honeycomb Energy and Jiangsu Huasheng Lithium Battery Materials Co., Ltd. have formed a strategic partnership to address the challenges in the mass production of sulfide solid electrolytes. The collaboration aims to leverage Huasheng's expertise in high-purity lithium sulfide production to enhance the performance of solid-state batteries [12][13][14][15].
