Dear readers:

Hello !

The book《Advanced Energy Storage Battery Intelligent Manufacturing Technology and Equipment》 has been deeply concerned and expected by colleagues since its pre-sale. At present, the book is officially published by the Chemical Industry Press, and it’s  here to meet the readers!

Energy storage is the basic technology for new energy industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection, clean energy, energy interconnection, and electric vehicles. As an important carrier of energy storage, the high safety, high quality, high efficiency and low cost manufacturing of batteries are the inevitable requirements for the development of the new energy industry.

In 2000, when I was still researching robots and applications, I met Academician Chen Liquan. Academician Chen's green dream about future energy storage attracted me deeply. Since then, I have forged an indissoluble bond with the research and industrialization of lithium battery manufacturing technology and equipment technology.

Although there is no vigorous accomplishments, my team and I have always adhered to this field, actively explored, and never stopped. In the past two decades, we have witnessed the start, rise, growth and expansion of the battery manufacturing industry. We played a fundamental role and actively engaged in the energy supply mode of our country's mobile products, the reduction of pollution emissions, the efficient use of clean energy, and the realization of smart energy.

Status of industry

At present, although the energy storage battery industry technology has been developed for more than 20 years, no breakthrough has been made in its real large-scale manufacturing technology.

The real entry of batteries into the large-scale manufacturing industry began in 2020. China's electric vehicle market has gradually shifted from policy-driven to market-driven, and the application of energy storage batteries has begun to mature. The industry has truly ushered in a period of large-scale and rapid development, and the development of its manufacturing technology has entered the fast lane.

With the advent of the battery manufacturing era in 2020, we are delighted to see that energy storage batteries have become an important pillar of China's energy transformation and one of the paths to achieve our country's goal of "carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060".

The development of energy storage battery technology is changing with each passing day, especially the energy storage industry is on the way to large-scale application and innovation of manufacturing technology. We believe that it is necessary to summarize the progress of the energy storage battery manufacturing industry, understand the past, and think and plan on the manufacturing infrastructure and industrial development trends, so that we can avoid detours in the future development of the battery manufacturing industry.

At this stage, in the process of upgrading energy storage battery manufacturing to high-efficiency, large-scale, and intelligent, our country's existing equipment technical capabilities and production models cannot meet future quality requirements and production capacity development needs. The core problem of upgrading the industrial structure of energy storage battery manufacturing is the upgrading of industrial equipment.

We look forward to taking advantage of the great opportunity for the development of the energy storage battery industry to respond quickly to the market needs, learn from the experience and methods of industrialization in different industries, and combine the features of energy storage battery development to promote the development of manufacturing processes, manufacturing equipment and intelligent innovation, and go on a path of independent innovation and development of China energy storage battery manufacturing.

Yang Rukun determines the overall idea, framework and structure of each chapter, and is responsible for the draft compiling and finalization of the book. The content of each chapter is led and completed by the person in charge, and is reviewed by Guan Jingdang, Wu Xueke, and Zuo Longlong. Thanks to the authors of each chapter of this book for unreservedly sharing their personal experience and wisdom, and for investing time and energy to revise and check repeatedly to make this book possible.

This book is the achievement of many years of the experience of this book‘s writing team as well as the application experience of Geesun intelligent products. I would like to thank all colleagues of Geesun Intelligent. After more than 20 years of persistence and unremitting efforts, we have left our own footprints in the development of energy storage battery manufacturing and equipment in China; in the future, we will follow the pace of the development of the energy storage battery industry, seeking progress with continuous innovation.

I would also like to thank the universities and research institutes engaged in energy storage battery technology research and energy storage manufacturing technology research, as well as energy storage battery manufacturing enterprises and energy storage battery equipment manufacturing enterprises. It is your unremitting efforts that have contributed to the vigorous development of the energy storage industry today.

Special thanks to Academician Chen Liquan, Researcher Li Hong, Researcher Huang Xuejie and their teams from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Their persistent pursuit of the energy storage industry and their indomitable courage have deeply infected us. The noble conduct as our heart desires, we will continue to move forward.

Special thanks to Academician Chen Liquan from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences for the writing the preface of this book.
