CATL eyes lithium-air EV batteries with theoretical 12,000 Wh/kg limit
A major shift in the long-term direction of global energy storage has been established as Chinese battery giant CATL has formally selected its next-generation development path. Recently, speaking at the 2026 Equipment Power Forum, Wu Kai, the company’s Chief Scientist and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, identified lithium-air battery technology as the primary focus for the company’s future research. The shift toward a lith…
The world's largest battery manufacturer has just redefined its long-term roadmap. Forget everything you thought you knew about the next step, because the real target is no longer the solid battery, but a technology that "breathes" the ambient air.
CATL claims its lithium-air battery has energy density similar to gasoline
The global race to build better batteries for electric cars has a new target. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited, known as CATL, announced a major change in its long-term research plans. The Chinese battery manufacturer is now focusing on lithium-air technology with a theoretical maximum energy density that matches the energy density of gasoline. The announcement came from Wu Kai, the Chief Scientist at CATL, during the 2026 Powering th…
For the first time, CATL has publicly announced that it is working on the technology to enable the "ultimative battery".
The promise of revolutionary lithium-air batteries, much better than solid-state batteries. So many years talking about solid-state batteries as the future that will revolutionize electric cars, and CATL arrives to launch a new warning: its new development for the long term will be the still more promising lithium-air batteries.The battery technology in electric cars continues to evolve and, although the current proposals based on lithium and li…
