Is battery technology a multipurpose technology?

Battery technology is a multipurpose technology (Malhotra et al., 2019), and its development is becoming increasingly important for decarbonisation of multiple sectors, including transport (Malhotra et al., 2021). Fig. 1. Coevolution of TIS development and policies: an analytical framework.

What is a system engineering-based technology system architecture for battery electric vehicles?

To systematically solve the key problems of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) such as “driving range anxiety, long battery charging time, and driving safety hazards”, China took the lead in putting forward a “system engineering-based technology system architecture for BEVs” and clarifying its connotation.

Why is battery safety research important?

The implementation of battery fault diagnosis, safety risk prediction, and early warning and timely maintenance of the battery system before accidents are of great significance for improving the safety management level of the battery system, and they have become a hotspot and front in battery safety research.

Is China's new energy vehicle battery industry coevolutionary?

Empirically, we study the new energy vehicle battery (NEVB) industry in China since the early 2000s. In the case of China's NEVB industry, an increasingly strong and complicated coevolutionary relationship between the focal TIS and relevant policies at different levels of abstraction can be observed.

Why is China developing lithium-ion batteries?

China has been incorporating the development of advanced battery technologies, particularly lithium-ion battery technologies, in the Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development (from 6th to 14th), and the continuous investments have enabled China to become the leading country to produce Li-ion batteries.

Which universities and research institutes have made important achievements in solid-state batteries?

Many universities and research institutes have made important achievements in the field of solid-state batteries , including Nankai University, Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology of China, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy & Bioprocess Technology, Institute of Chemistry and Institute of Physics.
