[Z1/][Guotai Haitong Securities: Solid-State Battery Industry Iteration Begins Long-Term Prospects for Solid-State Batteries Look Promising][Z2/] A research report by Guotai Haitong Securities stated that solid-state batteries, with their high energy density and safety, can meet the special needs of the automotive, low-altitude, and humanoid robot sectors. Currently, semi-solid-state batteries have already been installed in vehicles, with industrialization preceding that of all-solid-state batteries. In areas such as humanoid robots and low-altitude applications, where cost sensitivity is relatively lower, the application of solid-state batteries precedes that in the automotive sector. The acceleration of the solid-state battery industry's industrialization process has officially begun, moving from zero to one at an accelerated pace. As the performance of solid-state batteries continues to improve and industrialization accelerates, long-term prospects for solid-state batteries look promising.
