With the accelerated development of the global new energy vehicle industry, the progress of power battery technology has become the key to promoting this change. Ganfeng Lithium, as the world's leading supplier of lithium resources, has demonstrated a technological breakthrough in the field of power batteries with its newly released new generation of Fengxing batteries, which not only improves the performance of batteries, but also sets a new benchmark in industry competition.
Technological breakthroughs: energy density and discharge capacity
Ganfeng Lithium's new generation of soft-pack CTP integrated battery has an energy density of 190Wh/kg, surpassing the current industry average and comparable to the latest products of the world's top battery manufacturers such as BYD. The increase in energy density means that the battery can store more power at the same weight and volume, which is essential for increasing the range of electric vehicles. For example, an electric vehicle equipped with this battery can achieve a longer driving range without increasing the weight of the battery. At the same time, this battery supports a high-rate discharge of more than 10C, which greatly enhances the discharge ability of the battery and provides stronger power output for electric vehicles, especially in instantaneous scenarios that require high power, such as acceleration or climbing.

Safety: Double safety design
In terms of battery safety, Ganfeng Lithium's new generation battery adopts an innovative dual safety design. First of all, the battery cell itself is able to withstand multi-point pinprick testing without fire or smoke, which guarantees the safety of the battery in extreme situations. Secondly, the battery PACK body also realizes the integration of conductivity, insulation and heat reversal through the design of four insulation layers and the combination of new composite materials. This design effectively improves the thermal management ability of the battery, reduces the potential risks such as overheating and short circuit, and further ensures the safety of users. With the popularization of electric vehicles, the safety of batteries is particularly critical, and this innovation of Ganfeng lithium battery provides great safety guarantee for consumers.
Integration efficiency: lightweighting and production efficiency
The new generation of batteries also offers great advantages in terms of integration efficiency. By optimizing R&D and design, the module materials of the battery have been reduced by 50%, and the production efficiency has been increased by 30%. This breakthrough not only makes the battery lighter, but also significantly reduces costs in the production process, increases the production speed, and meets the needs of mass production. The lightweight of the battery not only provides room for vehicle weight reduction, but also brings greater flexibility to the design of electric vehicles, providing consumers with the option of higher range. This innovative move has also greatly promoted the development of the battery industry in the direction of more efficient and low-cost.
Temperature control performance: direct cooling technology and intelligent algorithm
In terms of temperature control, Ganfeng Lithium's new generation battery adopts direct cooling technology, which significantly improves the cooling effect of the battery and ensures the stability of the battery under high load conditions. Combined with the intelligent algorithm of BMS (Battery Management System), the battery can be fully compatible with 500V and 800V voltage platforms, further improving the adaptability and flexibility of the battery. The application of this technology not only shortens the battery development and testing cycle, but also greatly exceeds the industry standard in terms of accuracy and stability, providing a strong guarantee for the high-performance operation of electric vehicles.
Market prospects: forward-looking layout of solid-state batteries
Ganfeng Lithium's layout in solid-state battery technology is also eye-catching. The company plans to put into operation the largest solid-state battery production base in China in 2023, and plans to mass-produce the second-generation solid-liquid hybrid battery, with a target energy density of 400Wh/kg. Solid-state batteries are considered to be the future of battery technology, offering great advantages in terms of energy density, safety, and stability. Ganfeng Lithium's layout in the field of solid-state batteries will pave the way for it to occupy an important position in the development of the new energy industry in the future.
1. Industry trends and market analysis
According to a report by Zhiyan Consulting, it is expected that by 2025, new energy vehicles will account for about 20% of new car sales. This development trend has promoted the rapid growth of the power battery industry, especially in the context of continuous technological breakthroughs and growing market demand. Ganfeng Lithium's technological breakthrough undoubtedly conforms to the direction of industry development and enhances its competitiveness in the global new energy vehicle market.
In addition, with the increasingly stringent requirements for environmental protection and carbon emission reduction in countries around the world, the popularization of electric vehicles has become an important trend in the future development of transportation. Ganfeng Lithium's continuous innovation in the field of power battery technology can not only meet the market demand for high-efficiency batteries, but also promote the development of the global new energy vehicle industry.
2. The industrial agglomeration effect of Jiangning Development Zone
Ganfeng Lithium's next-generation battery production base is located in the Jiangning Development Zone in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China, which has become a hub for new energy vehicles and smart manufacturing industries. At present, Jiangning Development Zone has gathered many power companies and has become an important agglomeration area of the electric vehicle industry chain in China. Ganfeng Lithium's investment will further promote the upgrading of local industries and inject new momentum into the regional economy. In addition, Ganfeng Lithium's local production and R&D investment will also provide employment opportunities for more high-tech talents in the future and help regional economic development.
Conclusion
