On April 17th, Nissan revealed the planned location for its full solid-state battery pilot production line.
Within its Yokohama factory, where engines and other components are produced, Nissan has allocated approximately 10,000 square meters of space to prepare for equipment installation and construction.
According to Nissan's announced timeline, production of full solid-state batteries is set to commence in March 2025, with the aim of achieving mass production by 2028.
Nissan states that the energy density of full solid-state batteries is about twice that of traditional lithium-ion batteries, significantly reducing charging times.
As the core technology for the next generation of power batteries, solid-state batteries have garnered considerable attention.
Full solid-state batteries offer advantages such as high safety, good stability, and high energy density, addressing issues like short lifespan, flammability, and susceptibility to explosions in traditional organic electrolyte batteries.
Recently, the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Process Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced the successful overcoming of the final challenge in the production process of large-scale vehicle batteries using sulfide solid-state batteries, achieving a key breakthrough in sulfide pouch battery stacking technology.
The institute's Advanced Energy Storage Materials and Technology Research Group has successfully produced multi-layer pouch batteries, which have undergone 300 cycles of testing with almost no capacity degradation.
Meanwhile, the institute is accelerating the research and validation process, aiming to achieve mass production of sulfide solid-state batteries by 2026.
