China’s solid-state battery development is entering a "crucial phase" ahead of commercialization, signalling progress towards mass production, according to an industry expert, as companies in China and Korea race to gain an edge in next-generation technologies. The remarks were made by Lian Yubo, chief scientist of Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant BYD, at an auto industry seminar that brought together industry insiders, analysts and government officials, China’s state media Beijing News reported last week. Solid-state batteries are widely seen as a next-generation technology, offering a safer and more energy-dense alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries, but remain difficult to commercialize due to challenges in price, manufacturing and stability. “It is important to clearly recognize that from pilot-scale rollout to large-scale vehicle integration and eventually stable application, there remain numerous challenges in engineering, cost and yield,” Lian said. He talked about key hurdles, including stabilising solid-solid interfaces and suppressing lithium dendrite gro
