Honeycomb Energy: Developing soft-pack semi-solid-state batteries with an energy density of 360Wh/kg
From September 11th to 14th, the 21st China Automotive Industry Development (TEDA) International Forum was held in Tianjin's Binhai New Area. Yang Hongxin, Chairman and CEO of Honeycomb Energy, delivered a keynote speech at the forum, stating that Honeycomb Energy's proprietary "electrolyte thermal composite transfer process" has successfully overcome multiple technical bottlenecks in mass production of semi-solid-state batteries. Combined with high-nickel cathode materials, this process has become the industry's lowest-cost and most scalable semi-solid-state battery solution. Honeycomb Energy has built a dedicated 2.3GWh semi-solid-state battery production line and completed development of its first-generation 270Wh/kg prismatic battery cell, with plans to begin mass production of C-samples in November 2025. This product has already secured orders for electric vehicles from a renowned European brand and has been selected for a central enterprise's eVTOL project. Honeycomb Energy is also developing a soft-pack semi-solid-state battery with an energy density of 360Wh/kg for mass production. Samples have been officially delivered to a central enterprise developing low-altitude aircraft, and the company plans to conduct its first flight this year.
