National People's Congress Representative Hu Chengzhong: Accelerate the Development and Implementation of a Series of National Standards for Solid-State Vehicle Batteries

The National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference are about to convene. Hu Chengzhong, a deputy to the National People’s Congress and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Delixi Group, is paying close attention to the development of the solid-state battery industry. Addressing current issues such as the shortcomings in the standard system and insufficient coordination, the bottlenecks in core technology engineering, weak industry chain collaboration and autonomy, and the constraints of cost and certification on large-scale promotion, Hu Chengzhong recommends accelerating the formulation and implementation of national standards for automotive solid-state batteries. This includes quickly establishing performance, safety, and lifespan standards, and clarifying product technical requirements and testing methods. Focusing on core technologies such as solid electrolyte materials, interface modification, and dry electrode, he supports enterprises and research institutions in forming innovation alliances to conduct collaborative research and development, with a key focus on breakthroughs in scalable production technology for high-conductivity, high-stability solid electrolytes to reduce key material costs. Hu Chengzhong also suggests nurturing and strengthening leading enterprises in the industry chain, supporting battery, material, and equipment companies, as well as vehicle manufacturers, to establish long-term strategic partnerships and form a collaborative development ecosystem.
