Recently, the Industrial Ecology Conference on New Energy Storage and New Power Systems was grandly held at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Convention Center. It was jointly hosted by the National New Energy Storage Innovation Center and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., co-organized by China Southern Power Grid Technology Co., Ltd., and undertaken by the Guangdong New Energy Storage Industry Technology Innovation Alliance. Guided by the strategic positioning of "Rooted in the Bay Area, Expanding Globally" and themed "Forging a New Power Ecosystem, Charting a Smart Blueprint for Net-Zero", the conference centered on breakthroughs in key technologies, collaborative innovation across the industrial chain, and ecosystem development within the new energy storage and power systems. Its mission is to build an independent, secure, and reliable energy technology ecosystem.

The conference also featured the launch of the new-generation, all-scenario energy storage battery technology and the signing ceremony with ecosystem partners. Addressing the prominent conflict between the diverse global demand for energy storage and the homogenization of available products, the new-generation, all-scenario battery development model will be driven by application-specific needs, using integrated system solutions to precisely define product parameters. This model fosters collaboration across the ecosystem value chain, spurring innovation in core cell technology and achieving highly efficient coordination from the demand side to the product end. As a supporting unit of the conference, Lyric played a key role in the industry exchanges and joined the solid-state battery partnership signing ceremony. Collaborating with upstream and downstream partners across the industrial chain, the company is committed to advancing the technological breakthroughs and industrialization of solid-state batteries, contributing to Guangdong's goal of establishing itself as a world-class innovation hub for the new energy storage industry.

Forward-Looking Strategy: Building Capabilities Across All Technical Roadmaps

Solid-state batteries are widely regarded as a key technology to overcome the energy density limitations and thermal runaway risks of traditional lithium-ion batteries, serving as a core component for future high-safety, long-endurance energy storage systems. However, their industrialization faces multiple challenges, including complex material systems, diverse manufacturing processes, and requirements for extremely clean production environments.

As a leading global player in new energy equipment and a pioneer in smart digital factories, Lyric has long been dedicated to the field of solid-state battery manufacturing. The company has successfully mastered the full-line mass-production processes for all-solid-state batteries and possesses equipment compatibility for all major material systems, including sulfides, oxides, polymers, and halides. It has established a core technological portfolio encompassing high-pressure densification, electrolyte-electrode composite processes, encapsulation techniques, and high-voltage formation. Notably, Lyric has already delivered a complete solid-state battery production line project to a leading automotive manufacturer.

To accelerate technology validation and industrialization, Lyric has established a dedicated clean lab for all-solid-state battery equipment. This lab is equipped with diverse testing capabilities, including dry electrode coating, glue frame printing for electrodes, cell stacking, laser cutting of lithium metal anodes, and lithium-copper lamination. By opening this lab to partners, Lyric collaboratively advances process R&D and application. Simultaneously, the company's integrated solutions combine three core advantages—high efficiency, high intelligence, and high safety—providing robust technical and systemic support for the mass production of all-solid-state batteries.

Inherent Safety: Building a Paradigm for Intrinsically Safe Production Lines

Among various technical routes, sulfide-based solid-state batteries have garnered significant attention due to their high ionic conductivity. However, the sulfide route for all-solid-state batteries poses stringent challenges for the production environment due to material properties, which Lyric addresses through systematic safety design. When exposed to trace amounts of moisture, sulfide electrolytes can readily generate hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), posing serious threats to production safety.

In response, Lyric has released the "Design Specifications for Poison Prevention and Explosion-proofing of Sulfide Solid-state Battery Production Lines." Centered on process hermeticity, the specifications mitigate leakage risks at the source by enhancing the sealing integrity of equipment micro-environments, improving the mechanical seal grades of pipelines, and ensuring airtightness in material transfer. A hydrogen sulfide detection safety instrumented system is deployed, enabling systematic safety design across electrical, mechanical, software, and control dimensions. This multi-layered safety defense is further reinforced with personal protective equipment.

Intelligent-Driven Evolution: Leading the Digital Leap in Manufacturing Systems

The diversified development of all-solid-state battery technology routes imposes higher adaptation requirements on equipment manufacturers. Lyric meets this industry divergence with a "General Practitioner"-level platform capability. Its equipment platform is compatible with all technical routes, including sulfide, halide, oxide, and polymer systems, simultaneously covering both semi-solid-state and all-solid-state battery production, achieving full-process integration from electrode preparation to formation and grading. Leveraging a modular architecture design, the production line can rapidly adapt to customer needs for process iteration, reducing retooling cycles by over 40%. This capability empowers automotive and battery manufacturers to switch technical pathways with greater agility, providing a versatile solution for the industrialization of solid-state batteries.

Lyric leverages intellectual property and AI technology as core pillars of its competitive advantage. As of June 2025, the company has built a global portfolio of 4,180 intellectual property assets, establishing a strong technological moat that spans lithium-ion batteries, photovoltaic, and hydrogen energy sectors. In intelligent manufacturing, Lyric has developed industry-specific large AI models that enable intelligent optimization of process parameters, predictive equipment maintenance, and digital management of production workflows. This has significantly boosted both R&D efficiency and equipment utilization rates.

In the wave of global energy transformation, with "intelligent manufacturing" as the anchor point, Lyric has not only solved the problem of the "last kilometer" in industrialization through process innovation, the construction of a safety system and digital empowerment, but also set a benchmark for Made in China in the global competition in new energy. In the future, as the global green energy transformation advances, Lyric's technological accumulation will unleash greater potential and provide fundamental support for sustainable energy transformation.
