Gotion High-Tech to Mass Produce 360Wh/kg Semisolid-State Battery in 2022
On Friday, Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion Hi-Tech hosted the 11th Sci-Tech Conference in Hefei, Anhui Province. The company announced that it begins to mass produce a 360Wh/kg semisolid-state battery it developed earlier this year. The company says it is also working on prototype samples of a 400Wh/kg ternary semisolid-state battery in the lab.
In addition, the first generation of ternary and lithium-iron standard battery jointly developed by Gotion Hi-Tech and Volkswagen have both entered into mass production. Gotion Hi-Tech is now working with Volkswagen’s German team to develop standard batteries for Europe. The company said the energy density of the mass-produced ternary battery cells is 635Wh/L, and that of lithium-iron batteries is 435Wh/L.
Gotion Hi-Tech will release two new products at this conference lasting two days. One is a next generation battery product with an ultra-high energy ratio, and the other is its first product for the consumer market.
Gotion Hi-Tech was established in 2006. It recently released its 2021 financial report and that of Q1, 2022.

In 2021, Gotion began the mass production of a 210Wh/kg ferrous lithium phosphate battery cell as well as that of a 302Wh/kg ternary battery cell. The company succeeded in designing and finalizing a 230Wh/kg ferrous lithium phosphate battery cell. The company was also successful in passing the new national standard safety test for the 360Wh/kg high energy density semisolid-state batteries.
