Abstract:

This paper explores the current state, challenges, and future development of the lithium-ion battery industry from an economic perspective. Lithium-ion batteries play a crucial role in addressing the demand for clean energy, particularly in electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. The paper provides an overview of the global lithium-ion battery industry, emphasizing China's technological advantages. Innovations in positive and negative electrode materials and electrolytes are highlighted as contributors to enhancing battery performance. However, the industry faces challenges such as fluctuations in the supply chain of raw materials, technological constraints, and environmental pressures. The paper proposes achieving technological innovation through solid-state battery technology and research on new materials, addressing supply chain instability through diversification and sustainable procurement of raw materials. Through continuous innovation and international cooperation, the lithium-ion battery industry is poised to realize a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future in terms of technology, economy, and ecology.

Key words: lithium-ion battery industry, economy, technological status
