R&D Strength

Defining a new future for batteries and leading the solid-state technology system

Enpower’s technical innovation takes "Defining the Future of Batteries" as its mission and is committed to the industrialization of high-energy-density solid-state battery. The company has built a global R&D network spanning China, Japan, and the United States, bringing together a team of top experts from the fields of materials science, electrochemistry, and engineering. Taking sulfide electrolytes as a core technology route as a breakthrough, the company has achieved independent research and development across the entire chain, from material innovation and interface optimization to manufacturing equipment, and possesses a complete intellectual property system from high-quality materials and cells to systems. Our R&D goals not only focus on achieving leading high energy density, charge/discharge rate and wide temperature range adaptability, but also always prioritize intrinsic safety. Through continuous deep integration of industry, academia, and research, and forward-looking planning, Enpower is leading solid-state battery technology from the laboratory to large-scale production, providing core power for global energy transformation.

International cooperation

Domestic cooperation

Internationally, we are collaborating with the Tokyo Institute of Technology to develop sulfide solid electrolyte materials and all-solid-state batteries; and with the University of Texas to develop lithium metal anode all-solid-state batteries and various lithium metal anode interface protection technologies, and have invented a novel solid electrolyte separator material that has been granted an international patent. We have also jointly launched HAPS (High-End Lithium Metal Solid-State Battery) for high-end drones with SoftBank; semi-solid-state batteries have achieved mass production, and all-solid-state batteries are in small-batch trial production.

Domestically, we have carried out technical cooperation with Tsinghua University in the field of new all-solid-state batteries for drones, and have established a research and development center at the Tsinghua University (Gu'an) pilot-scale incubation base; we have carried out research and development cooperation with the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on key materials and battery devices for high-energy-density solid-state batteries; we have cooperated with the Guangdong Greater Bay Area Aerospace Information Research Institute to promote the application of high-performance solid-state batteries in the aerospace field; and we have cooperated with ten universities including Fudan University, as well as the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Electric Power Research Institute to undertake the research project on sodium-based energy storage batteries under the National "13th Five-Year Plan" Major Project.
