Chongqing Tailan New Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tailan New Energy") announced that it has recently completed hundreds of millions of yuan in Series B strategic financing. This round of financing was jointly funded by Changan Automobile's Anhe Fund and several funds under the Ordnance Equipment Group. Finish.
Previously, Tailan New Energy has completed 5 rounds of financing. Investors include Legend Capital, Liangjiang Capital, CICC Capital, China Merchants Venture Capital, Zhengqi Holdings, Guoding Capital, etc.
In this financing, Changan Automobile’s investment in shares deserves attention. This is also the third case of in-depth strategic cooperation between a large domestic car company and a solid-state battery company after SAIC and Qingtao Energy, NIO and Weilan New Energy. It not only means that car companies and capital are optimistic about the solid-state battery industry chain. The increase also marks that the industrial application of solid-state battery technology in the domestic automobile industry is accelerating.
As an important future upgrade direction of lithium-ion battery technology, solid-state batteries have received great attention from capital, industry and policy in recent years. Entering 2024, the industrialization of semi-solid and all-solid-state batteries has already begun. CITIC Construction Investment predicts that by 2025, the global market for various solid-state batteries may reach tens to hundreds of GWh and hundreds of billions of yuan.
Tailan New Energy is one of the representative solid-state battery companies in China. The company was officially established in 2018. It focuses on the development and industrialization of new solid-state lithium batteries and key lithium battery materials. It has key solid-state battery materials-cell design-process equipment-systems. Integrate the development capabilities of the entire industry chain. According to reports, its core R&D team has been focusing on the development of key solid-state battery technologies since 2011. It has more than 10 years of technology accumulation and layout in the fields of key solid-state battery materials, advanced batteries, core processes and thermal management, and has accumulated nearly 500 patents. item.
At present, Tailan New Energy has independently developed a series of advanced solid-state battery key technologies such as "high-conductivity lithium-oxygen composite material technology", "in-situ sub-micron industrial film formation (ISFD) technology", and "interface softening technology". It has successfully solved technical problems such as the low conductivity of lithium oxides and solid-solid interface coupling within a cost-controllable range, while improving the intrinsic safety of the battery.
In addition, Tailan New Energy has also achieved the development and production of advanced solid-state batteries in various systems, including 4C ultra-fast charging semi-solid-state batteries. Officials said that in April this year, it successfully prepared the world's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery with an ultra-high energy density of 720Wh/kg and a single capacity of 120Ah, setting a new record for the highest energy density and largest single capacity of a compact lithium battery.
