On April 22, 2023, the People's Government of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Battery. It is reported that the construction content of the contracted project includes an annual output of 20GWh lithium battery production workshop, pack workshop, system integration workshop, lithium battery analysis and testing center, lithium battery module and safety testing center, lithium battery research and development center and other supporting auxiliary industrial facilities, The total investment is expected to be 10 billion yuan.

According to reports, Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Battery Technology Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Industry Group Co., Ltd., and it is the lithium battery business segment that Ganfeng Lithium focuses on. The company has a full range of lithium battery products, covering more than 20 products in five categories, including wearable device batteries, consumer batteries, power and energy storage batteries, solid-state lithium batteries and battery management systems, to meet the needs of electric heavy trucks, power vehicles, photovoltaic wind power, High-quality lithium batteries and system integration solutions that are urgently needed for source-network-load-storage and wind-solar integration projects.

In the field of solid-state batteries, Ganfeng Lithium Industry introduced that the company's current solid-liquid hybrid battery technology has matured, so it has gradually moved towards industrialization. From a technical point of view, solid-liquid hybrid batteries are not necessarily a transitional technology for all-solid-state batteries, because solid-liquid hybrid batteries also have many unique advantages, such as more convenient industrialization, more controllable costs, and can also do Considering the higher energy density and excellent safety performance compared with ordinary liquid batteries, it is believed that solid-liquid hybrid batteries can also meet the increasingly diversified needs and scenarios of electric vehicles/energy storage. Ganfeng Lithium Industry said that Ganfeng solid-state batteries have now formed a series of products with ternary carbon anodes. It is expected that if the shipment volume reaches 10GWh, the cost is expected to be comparable to that of liquid ternary batteries.

In 2023, the market demand for new energy vehicles will still be strong, the superimposed energy storage market will rise, tens of billions of projects will gather together, and the battery industry will welcome the expansion of production. Since 2023, enterprises such as Yiwei Lithium Energy, Ganfeng Lithium Industry, BAK Battery, Funeng Technology, Ruipu Lanjun Energy and other companies have signed tens of billions of projects and started construction. According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of the year, there have been 15 projects with a total investment of over 10 billion, with the highest reaching 60GWh. Editor/He Yuting
