Abstract

Abstract:

Lithium-ion batteries serve as the core carrier of new energy storage technology，and the innovative development of their material systems holds strategic significance for the new energy industry.The current industrial status and technological trends of lithium-ion battery cathodes in China was systematically reviewed，focusing on aspects such as material shipments，production capacity，and technological routes，revealing the development patterns and directions for innovation breakthroughs in the industry chain.As the end market evolved towards core demands of high energy density，long cycle life，and adaptability to extreme operating conditions，material technology exhibited an evolutionary path of performance breakthroughs and multi-dimensional collaborative optimization：cathodes would break through traditional theoretical capacity limits through element doping and structural design.At the same time，the intensified market competition triggered by overcapacity was forcing lithium battery material enterprises to break through into high value-added technology fields，driving the industry to shift from extensive scale expansion to refined technological innovation.It was recommended to overcome common challenges such as the stability of new key material technologies and large-scale preparation processes through collaborative innovation in the industry chain，proactively plan for solid-state battery material systems，and build a sustainable development ecosystem.

Key words: lithium-ion battery, battery materials, upstream and downstream industrial chain, manufacturing and research & development
