All-solid-state battery industry development

Overview

The all-solid-state battery (ASSB) industry is transitioning from laboratory breakthroughs to the engineering verification phase. Major manufacturers in Japan, South Korea, and China—including Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Samsung SDI, CATL, and BYD—are leading small-scale pilot production and automotive-grade performance evaluations. Notably, Nissan has demonstrated capacity retention in stacked structure cells that exceeds traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries.

Beyond electric vehicles, the technology is expanding into drones, micro-electronics, and robotics. In the automotive market, solid-state 12V batteries are beginning to appear, offering advantages such as a 10 to 15-year lifespan, faster charging, and reduced weight compared to liquid electrolyte versions. Additionally, battery technology is being applied to the rail sector through the development of battery-powered trains designed to navigate non-electrified tracks.
