Batteries China Network believes that in the face of the powerful competition from the mighty Japanese and German teams, the defending of the next World Cup will not be smooth. The Chinese team will only recognize the situation, step up training, and create an 'iron wall' defense. And to learn the length of others, 'the stone of the mountain can be attacked jade' in order to defend their honor.
Ever since the Ningde era led the Chinese team to beat Japan’s Matsushita-led Japan team in the power battery World Cup finals, the Japan team has been very confident about its own lithium battery technology since winning the “Herculean Cup”. Must win the trophy in the next All-Solid Battery 'World Cup'.

It is reported that Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Matsushita and other 23 automotive, battery and materials companies, and Kyoto University, Japan Institute of Applied Chemistry and other 15 academic institutions will participate in the study, plans to fully grasp the all-solid-state battery-related technologies by 2022.
According to Battery China.com, the strength of the Japanese team should not be underestimated. Toyota, Panasonic, etc. in the starting lineup are all world-class 'superstars', and Hosokawa Hiraka, project manager of Japan's New Energy Industry Technology Development Agency, said that 'all solid-state' Half of the patents for batteries come from Japan's, where Toyota's all-solid-state battery patent applications rank first in the world. In addition, Japan leads the world in the development of electrolyte materials.
How did the Chinese team deal with the Japanese team that wanted to win? In recent days, Battery China.com has investigated the 'training' of the current members of the Chinese team.
