Chinese solid-state battery company Talent New Energy has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Narada, a prominent energy storage technology developer. The partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both companies in research and development to accelerate the large-scale adoption of solid-state batteries in energy storage and consumer sectors.
Under the agreement, Talent New Energy and Narada will work together on key projects to demonstrate the benefits and feasibility of solid-state batteries in energy storage applications. This includes exploring the potential of solid-state technology across grid-side, power-side, and user-side markets.
Talent New Energy has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for the mass production of solid-state batteries, incorporating the concept of “material-reduction manufacturing.” The company’s “4-3-2-1” roadmap outlines a step-by-step process to advance its solid-state battery technology. The first step involves producing semi-solid-state batteries by removing the separator and partial electrolyte, building on traditional lithium-ion battery components. The second phase focuses on fully removing the electrolyte, creating fully solid-state batteries suitable for specialized applications such as low-altitude aircraft and portable electronics. The final stage aims to eliminate the cathode, leaving only the anode.
In November 2024, Talent New Energy and Changan Automobile unveiled a separator-free solid-state lithium battery, demonstrating the viability of this technology. This innovation was quickly followed by a partnership with Narada, marking a significant milestone in Talent New Energy’s push into the energy storage market.
The collaboration between Talent New Energy and Narada combines complementary technologies and market expertise. Narada has secured both domestic and international energy storage orders, contributing to the successful grid connection and operation of numerous projects. Meanwhile, Talent New Energy is focused on advancing the R&D and manufacturing of solid-state batteries, leveraging its in-situ submicron film development (ISFD) technology and interfacial softening technology to address challenges in mass production, low yields, and high costs associated with solid-state batteries.
