A research report released by CITIC Securities indicates that, commencing from 2025, battery manufacturers including Solid Power and Gotion High-Tech are set to progressively initiate on-road vehicle testing for all-solid-state batteries. The peak period for these road tests is anticipated to occur between 2025 and 2026. The primary obstacles hindering the widespread adoption of all-solid-state batteries in automotive applications are their susceptibility to swelling and the resultant degradation in cycle life. In response, automotive makers and battery producers have forged a consensus to address these challenges by enhancing solid-solid interfaces and implementing in-vehicle pressurization techniques. It is advisable to focus on advancements in conductive agents, functional additives, solid-state electrolytes, as well as doping and material surface coating technologies within the realm of cell materials. In the cell manufacturing sector, attention should be directed towards isostatic pressing, indentation insulation, high-voltage formation and grading processes, and aluminum-plastic film technologies. Additionally, in the PACK (battery pack assembly) segment, emphasis should be placed on PACK production equipment and pneumatic actuators.
