In the era of new energy, Yiliu Lithium Energy has chosen to develop "hydrogen, lithium, and sodium" in a coordinated manner, establishing a tripartit

On July 14th, at the 19th High-tech Lithium Battery Industry Summit 2026, Liu Jianhua, the co-founder and president of Yiliu Lithium Energy, delivered a speech titled "In the Era of New Energy, Yiliu Lithium Energy's Choices", systematically elaborating on the strategic thinking and business practices of enterprises in the context of the new energy era based on China's lithium battery industry development stages, technical route layouts, and business structure choices.

From the perspectives of the country, the industry, and the enterprise, it examines the upward development of China's lithium battery industry.

After years of development, the Chinese lithium battery industry has formed a complete industrial system covering electrochemistry, materials, equipment, manufacturing, and end applications. With the continuous deepening of policy guidance, market regulation, and industry competition, the industry is gradually shifting from a high-speed expansion stage to a more emphasis on technology, quality, and long-term value high-quality development stage.

Liu Jianhua believes that the development of leading enterprises has promoted the continuous improvement of industry technical standards, customer trust, and global competitiveness, and has set benchmarks for Chinese new energy enterprises to reach world-class levels. Facing the new industrial cycle, Yiliu Lithium Energy will combine its own technical accumulation and business foundation, adhere to differentiated development, and continuously enhance product, manufacturing, and global delivery capabilities.

Hydrogen, lithium, and sodium are being laid out to build a diversified electrochemical energy system.

In response to the diversification of future energy demands, Yiliu Lithium Energy has continuously advanced the construction of hydrogen, lithium, and sodium electrochemical systems, and simultaneously promoted the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as solid-state batteries.

In the lithium battery field, Yiliu Lithium Energy focuses on the large cylindrical and large square technology routes. In the field of power batteries, the company continues to promote the industrialization of 46 series large cylindrical batteries; in the field of energy storage batteries, the company launched the 628Ah Mr.Big energy storage cell in 2022 and has continuously iterated to larger capacity products such as 702Ah, corresponding to an increase in energy storage system capacity from 5MWh to 6.9MWh.

In the hydrogen field, the company has continuously advanced the research and development and industrialization of AEM electrolysis water production hydrogen technology, and its self-developed AEM electrolyzers have achieved applications from kilowatt-level to megawatt-level.

In the sodium battery field, Yiliu Lithium Energy has already established product layouts of 155Ah, 175Ah, and 355Ah, focusing on high-rate, long-cycle, and long-duration energy storage scenarios for industrialization. Currently, the company's sodium-ion batteries have completed delivery of hundreds of megawatts of projects overseas, and will continue to increase investment in sodium battery technology and industry.

Consumption, power, and energy storage are in a tripartite balance, enhancing the resilience of enterprise development.

Relying on diverse technical reserves, Yiliu Lithium Energy has formed a business structure of consumption batteries, power batteries, and energy storage batteries in a tripartite balance.

In the field of consumption batteries, Yiliu Lithium Energy focuses on the Internet of Things and close-energy scenarios, with products targeting AI terminals, medical equipment, smart wearables, brain-computer interfaces, Internet of Things, and urban perception applications.

In the field of power batteries, the brand "Open Source Battery" for commercial vehicles has continued to gain recognition, with the expected annual growth rate of commercial vehicle battery shipments exceeding 100%. The continuous promotion of 46 series large cylindrical battery large-scale application has led to the company's products entering the supply system of global high-end automakers and being equipped with new-generation BMW models.

In the field of energy storage batteries, Yiliu Lithium Energy continues to promote technological innovation and large-scale application in response to the Mr.Big Family large battery. The shipment volume of 628Ah cells is expected to exceed 10GWh this year, and the on-hand orders for next year have exceeded 30GWh. Currently, Yiliu Lithium Energy's cumulative global energy storage battery shipment volume has exceeded 200GWh.

In collaboration with the industry chain, from scale leadership to capability leadership

Yiliu Lithium Energy will continue to maintain open cooperation, adhere to long-term technological investment, and rely on the multi-tech system of hydrogen, lithium, and sodium as well as the business structure of consumption, power, and energy storage in a tripartite balance, to work with industry partners towards world-class levels.
