In August last year, CATL officially launched the “Shenxing Superchargeable Battery”, which is claimed to be the world’s first 4C superchargeable battery using lithium iron phosphate material and capable of mass production. It can replenish 400 kilometers of battery life in 10 minutes.
CATL stated that the “Shenxing Super Charge Battery” has been widely recognized by domestic and foreign markets since its launch. It has already confirmed cooperation with many car companies such as GAC, Chery, Avita, Hozon, Jihu, Voyah, etc.; it is expected to It will be installed on trucks in the first half of 2024.
CATL also stated that the company is Huawei’s first preferred partner for smart selection models, and it also provides market-competitive product solutions for other Huawei smart models, fully ensuring the safety, long battery life and speed of high-end smart driving models. Full experience. Smart electric vehicles that have attracted widespread market attention recently, such as Wenjie M7, M9, Avita 12, Zhijie S7, etc., all use the company’s high-quality battery products.
In addition, Ningde Times also mentioned that the company’s condensed matter battery is currently co-developing a civilian electric manned aircraft project, implementing aviation-grade standards and testing, and meeting aviation-grade safety and quality requirements; it will also launch condensed matter battery vehicles. Standard application version.
According to reports, the Shenxing superchargeable battery supports 10 minutes of charging and has a range of 400 kilometers. Even in a low temperature environment of -10°C, it can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes.
The battery is equipped with ultra-electronic network cathode technology, graphite fast ion ring anode technology, ultra-thin SEI membrane, ultra-high conductive electrolyte formula, and high-porosity isolation membrane, with a total battery life of up to 700 kilometers.
Ningde Times stated that Shenxing super-chargeable batteries will be mass-produced by the end of 2023 and will be launched in the first quarter of 2024. By then, cars equipped with Shenxing super-chargeable batteries will be available for purchase.

On April 19 last year, CATL officially released the condensed matter battery at the Shanghai Auto Show. Wu Kai, chief scientist of CATL, revealed that CATL’s condensed matter battery is being jointly developed for the civilian electric manned aircraft project. The energy density of a condensed matter battery cell can reach up to 500 Wh/kg, which can achieve both high specific energy and high safety. For comparison, the current energy density of mainstream ternary lithium batteries is about 250 Wh/kg; the energy density of lithium iron phosphate batteries is basically 180 Wh/kg.
According to the official statement, the condensed matter battery uses a high-power bionic condensed matter electrolyte, which can build a micron-level adaptive network structure, adjust the interaction force between chains, enhance the stability of the microstructure, improve the dynamic performance of the battery, and enhance the lithium Ion transport efficiency. Condensed matter batteries also aggregate material systems such as high-specific-energy positive electrodes, new negative electrodes, and isolation films.
At the performance exchange meeting in March 2023, Zeng Yuqun said: “The application range of new energy batteries is very broad, including those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, run on the ground and those that do not run (energy storage). The market space is huge. Big.” He also pointed out that in addition to the penetration rate of new passenger cars, there is still room for more than ten times the potential for battery applications in other fields in the future.
