Recently, Tailan New Energy Company completed a pre-B round of financing of hundreds of millions of yuan, and is expected to mass-produce the world's first solid-state lithium battery by the end of the year.
Since its establishment, Chongqing Tailan New Energy Co., Ltd. has focused on the development of new solid-state lithium batteries and related technologies, and is committed to the industrialization of solid-state lithium batteries.
Up to now, Tailan New Energy has the first domestic 0.2GWh semi-solid power battery production line in Chongqing, the second phase of the Chongqing manufacturing base with a capacity of 2GWh is under construction, and the 10GWh Anhui Huainan plant expected to be delivered next year is under construction. By next year, after the delivery of all projects of Tailan New Energy, the production line with a total capacity of 12.2GWh will lay the foundation for the industrialization of Tailan solid-state lithium batteries.
Tailan New Energy is so eager to complete the industrialization of solid-state lithium batteries, in addition to its own identity as a "solid-state battery popularizer", it is also related to the continuous development of new energy vehicles and other industries, and the gradual increase in market and enterprise demand for new energy batteries. According to reliable data, in 2022, the global market size of all-solid-state batteries will be 6.344 billion yuan, and the market size of mainland all-solid-state batteries will account for 35% of the global market. Moreover, according to reliable forecasts, by 2028, the global solid-state battery market will reach 100.225 billion yuan. It can be seen that the all-solid-state battery market at home and abroad has great development potential.
Compared with liquid electrolyte batteries, solid-state batteries are significantly better. For example, solid-state batteries have higher energy density, less leakage risk, are safer, have longer cycle life, and so on. Therefore, solid-state batteries are considered the future development direction of lithium batteries.
Tailan New Energy has always been committed to the research and development of solid-state battery technology. At present, Tailan New Energy uses mature solid-state battery product technology to launch the second generation of quasi-solid-state batteries, and its liquid electrolyte content has dropped to less than 5%. As for the third-generation all-solid-state battery, which is still developing a commercialization route, the liquid electrolyte content will be reduced to 0%. It is reported that Tailan New Energy's second-generation quasi-solid-state batteries will achieve large-scale production by the end of 2023.
Behind the high performance and high output is the continuous investment of Tailan New Energy in talent and technology research and development. It is reported that the core R&D team of Tailan New Energy has senior lithium battery experts at home and abroad, and the key personnel have participated in many important lithium battery projects such as the US Department of Energy and Toyota of Japan, and have rich practical experience. In addition, the funds obtained by Tailan New Energy from the pre-B round of financing will be mainly used for production line construction, product research and development and talent construction.
The successful completion of Tailan New Energy's financing will greatly promote the technology research and development process of its solid-state batteries, and the commercialization process of Tailan solid-state battery products will also accelerate.
