[Solid-state Battery: Hundred-tonne Production Lines Begin Centralized Commissioning in Q3, Sulphide Market Encounters a “Tonne-level” Inflection Point for Volume Ramp-up in H2] July 14, 2026 news. In H1 2026, the sulphide solid-state battery industry chain focused primarily on “line construction, commissioning, and sampling,” with actual procurement volumes being minimal — only 37 mt of lithium sulphide and 49 mt of sulphide electrolytes. Entering H2, with multiple enterprises starting centralized commissioning of hundred-tonne-level and above production lines in Q3–Q4, the industry is set to transition from “kilogram-level transactions” to “tonne-level transactions,” as the sulphide market sees substantial volume ramp-up to align with the solid-state battery vehicle integration period in 2027.
