Abstract generation in progress

At today’s 2026 “Super Technology Day” press conference, CATL’s Chief Scientist Gao Huan introduced that the company rolled out condensed-matter technology in April 2023 for electrified aviation scenarios for manned aircraft, with an energy density of 500 watt-hours per kilogram. Currently, this technology has already completed its first flight on a 4-ton-class commercial aircraft, and it will soon expand validation work on commercial aircraft of more than 8 tons. In the next phase, dedicated technology release events will be held—so you can follow CATL’s progress in the aviation sector. He said today that the company plans to apply this aviation-grade validated condensed-matter technology to passenger vehicles, launching the Kirin condensed-matter battery. The energy density of the cells is as high as 350 watt-hours per kilogram, and the volumetric energy density reaches 760 watt-hours per liter. (Cailian Press)
