From November 18th to 20th, 2024, the 9th International Summit on Power Battery Applications (CBIS2024) was grandly held in Shanghai. This summit focused on the forefront of the industry, constructing a platform for in-depth communication and cooperation in the global power battery field. The theme of this summit was "Innovation and Integration - Ushering in a New Era of Industrial Cooperation". Centering on this theme, numerous industry elites gathered together to jointly explore the new trends, opportunities, and challenges in the application of power batteries.

Wang Zuocheng, Assistant Director of the Cell R&D Department in Far East Battery Research Institute, was invited to attend this summit as a company representative and delivered a keynote speech titled "High-Energy-Density and High-Rate Cylindrical Batteries Empowering the Take-off of the Low-Altitude Economy" on the afternoon of November 18th.

He conducted an in-depth analysis of the special requirements for battery technology in the emerging field of the low-altitude economy. The low-altitude economy is a comprehensive economic form that drives the integrated development of related industries with the low-altitude flight activities of manned and unmanned civil aircraft as the leading factor, showing a vigorous development momentum. It imposes extremely stringent requirements on battery cells, demanding that batteries possess key performance characteristics such as high energy density, high rate, and low-temperature resistance.

Having been deeply engaged in the lithium battery field for many years, Far East has accumulated substantial R&D strength in the field of cylindrical batteries, which endows it with greater advantages in the R&D and mass production of advanced battery materials and enables it to conduct research and development on high-performance power batteries for low-altitude applications more swiftly. In his speech, Wang Zuocheng mainly shared Far East's product and technology layout in the low-altitude track of cylindrical batteries.

Far East Battery has continuously invested in the R&D of cylindrical battery technology and achieved remarkable results. The self-developed composite silicon-based anode technology can increase the anode capacity by 50%. This breakthrough has significantly enhanced the energy density of batteries, meeting the requirement of high energy density for low-altitude flight. Meanwhile, by constructing a high-strength composite conductive network, the conductivity of the positive and negative electrodes has been increased by 50%, effectively ensuring the stable performance of batteries during high-rate charging and discharging processes and guaranteeing the reliable operation of batteries under the complex working conditions of low-altitude flight. In addition, the low-temperature composite electrolyte technology developed by Far East is a remarkable highlight. This technology enables batteries to function normally even in a low-temperature environment of -40°C, overcoming the limitations of low temperature on battery performance and providing a solid guarantee for the safe operation of low-altitude flight in cold climate conditions.

Dr. Wang also introduced the short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals of Far East's cylindrical battery product planning. It will continue to bring innovative achievements such as high-energy-density products and full-tab products to the market. Moreover, having been deeply involved in the battery field for many years, Far East Battery possesses the ability to provide vertical integrated solutions from battery cells to modules to systems. This advantage of the industrial chain enables us to offer customers comprehensive and high-quality products and services, ensuring excellent performance and reliable quality of battery products in the application scenarios of the low-altitude economy.

Far East Battery will continue to uphold the spirit of innovation, intensify R&D efforts, continuously optimize battery technology and product performance, further strengthen cooperation and communication with industry partners, take safety and reliability as the foundation, build a more efficient product and service system, contribute to the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy and the entire power battery industry, and offer Far East's wisdom and strength to usher in a new era of industrial cooperation.
