[Large-scale Production of 46-Series Cylindrical Batteries Imminent] Recently, during Tesla's Q2 2024 financial results conference, Tesla announced the mass production of the dual-dry process 4680 large cylindrical batteries, which will be the first to be applied in the Cybertruck. However, due to unresolved technical issues, the current mass production of Tesla's dual-dry process 4680 large cylindrical batteries can hardly be considered large-scale, and is still in the small-scale production phase. Another battery enterprise, LG Energy Solution, recently stated that its 4680 battery production line at its Ochang factory in South Korea is ready, and large-scale production is expected to commence by the end of Q3 or Q4 of 2024. Additionally, the domestic leading cylindrical battery manufacturer, Bak Battery, also announced earlier this year that the company has established a new-generation digital factory, Bak Battery's Second Zhengzhou Factory, primarily focused on the industrialization of large cylindrical batteries.

1 Billion m²/Year Dry-Process Separator Project For Lithium/Sodium Batteries Lands In Nanning

Recently, Nanning Urban Construction Investment Group and Huahui New Material Technology Co., Ltd. signed an agreement for the lithium/sodium battery dry-process separator intelligent manufacturing project. The total investment for the project is approximately 500 million yuan. It plans to build a new production line with an annual capacity of 1 billion square meters of dry-process separators for lithium/sodium batteries. The project will introduce Guangxi's first new-generation dry-process uniaxial stretching and 4.2-meter-wide biaxial stretching battery separator production line. It is expected that upon reaching full capacity, the annual output value will be approximately 800 million yuan, creating 170 jobs, and establishing the first battery base film production base in Guangxi.

Shandong Binhe Hybrid Energy Storage Station Commences Operation

Recently, the Binhe Haoyu 100MW/200MWh independent energy storage station in Zhucheng completed acceptance and entered commercial operation. The project was invested in by an energy storage industry fund jointly initiated by Corun, CALB, and Kaibo Capital. It was jointly developed by members of the large energy storage ecosystem consortium, including Corun, CALC, Goxia Technology, Duanrui Technology, and Star Energy New Energy. The station adopts a hybrid energy storage technology route combining "lithium iron phosphate + all-vanadium redox flow batteries," which can meet the grid's full-time-scale regulation needs while significantly reducing the lifecycle levelized cost of energy, enhancing overall system economy and safety, and maximizing operational efficiency and economic benefits.
