Towards 2030: World Conference on Power Batteries Outlines Three Major Trends for Next-Generation Battery Technology, Manufacturing, and Recycling

News Summary
At the recently held 2025 World Conference on Power Batteries, industry authorities, experts, and leading enterprises systematically envisioned the development path for the coming years. A consensus emerged that the battery industry will undergo profound transformations across three dimensions: technology form, production mode, and circular system. Solid-liquid hybrid batteries, as a balanced and efficient solution, will be the first to achieve marketization; Artificial Intelligence (AI) will deeply empower the entire manufacturing process, driving the industry towards intelligence; and battery recycling models will evolve from decentralized handling towards a "full-chain collaborative" ecosystem.

Core Trend 1: Solid-Liquid Hybrid Batteries Enter the Fast Track to Marketization
Seen as the "outpost" for all-solid-state batteries, solid-liquid hybrid batteries (also known as semi-solid-state batteries), with their advantages of balancing high safety, high energy density, and relatively controllable manufacturing costs, have become the next-generation battery technology most likely to achieve large-scale commercialization in the near term. Experts predict that in the coming years, this technology will complete the leap from vehicle model verification to scaled installation, gaining initial prevalence in the high-end electric vehicle sector before gradually permeating the mainstream market, becoming a significant incremental force in the power battery market before 2030.

Core Trend 2: AI Empowers Battery Manufacturing, Ushering in a New Era of "Intelligent Manufacturing"
Artificial Intelligence is transitioning from a supportive R&D tool to a core driver reshaping production models. The outlook highlights that AI will play a key role in the following areas:

Process Optimization and Control: Through machine learning, AI analyzes vast amounts of production data in real-time, enabling autonomous optimization of process parameters and millisecond-level monitoring of product quality, significantly enhancing consistency and yield rates.
Intelligent Predictive Maintenance: By monitoring and predicting equipment status, it shifts maintenance from "post-failure repair" to "preventive maintenance," greatly reducing unplanned downtime.
Battery Full-Lifecycle Management: Utilizing digital twin technology to create a "digital file" for each battery, enabling precise traceability and value maximization from production and use to recycling.

Core Trend 3: Recycling Models Upgrade, Building a "Full-Chain Collaborative" Green Ecosystem
As early power batteries enter retirement in batches, the recycling industry will upgrade from its current "small, scattered, and disorderly" state towards scale and standardization. The future recycling model will be characterized by:

Industry Chain Collaboration: Vehicle manufacturers, battery producers, material suppliers, and recycling companies will form a closed-loop collaborative network through data sharing and shared responsibility.
Technology-Driven Refinement: Intelligent disassembly based on AI and automation, along with efficient material regeneration technologies, will become standard, improving recycling economics and resource utilization rates.
Policy and Standard Improvement: The global implementation of regulations such as the "battery passport" will mandate and enable a fully traceable recycling management system.

Our Observations
These trends clearly outline a future for the battery industry moving from "single-product competition" to a comprehensive "technology-manufacturing-ecology" system competition. Solid-liquid hybrid batteries represent a visible technological step, AI is the core tool for improving quality and efficiency, and a green circular ecosystem is the ultimate safeguard for the industry's sustainable development. As a member of the industry, we are actively deploying related technologies and capacity building to seize opportunities in the upcoming industrial transformation. We aim to collaborate with partners to advance the energy storage industry towards a smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable direction.
