Yaoshi Lithium Battery Secures Nearly 200 Million Yuan in Financing, Leading the Consumer AI Solid-State Battery Market
Recently, Shenzhen Yaoshi Lithium Battery Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yaoshi Lithium Battery") announced the completion of nearly 200 million yuan in Series A financing. This round of financing was led by Wuyuefeng, with follow - on investments from Suikai Investment, Gaoxin Investment, and Nanping Industrial Revitalization Fund. The financing will be mainly used for the R & D of 2.0 ultra - high energy density solid - state batteries (ED > 1000Wh/L) and the market expansion of leading customers, accelerating the commercialization of solid - state battery technology in fields such as consumer electronics AI intelligent terminals, drones, and humanoid robots.
Achieved from 0 to 1 in two years, creating three global exclusives
Founded in February 2023, Yaoshi Lithium Battery completed the full - link breakthrough from technology verification to mass production in just two years. The success of Yaoshi Lithium Battery's first product is due to the pain points of current liquid batteries, which are difficult to balance in terms of battery life, safety, and thinness. The high - energy density solid - state batteries provided by Yaoshi Lithium Battery meet the market demand.
Taking smartphones as an example, in response to the soaring computing power and sharp increase in power consumption of AI phones, as well as the strict requirements of folding screens for ultra - thin battery cells, Yaoshi Lithium Battery launched the first - generation semi - solid - state battery for mobile phones, which was successfully installed in the Honor Magic V5.
This product achieved three global firsts: 1. The world's first to mass - produce 900Wh/L high - energy density battery cells, paired with 4C/100W ultra - fast charging; 2. Created the world's thinnest 2.3mm battery cell; 3. Solved the problem of >25% expansion of high - silicon anodes and became the only company in the world to suppress the expansion rate of battery cells to below 10%, achieving triple breakthroughs in long battery life, ultra - fast charging, and ultra - thin design.
It is worth mentioning that this battery cell was rated as one of the 300 global innovative inventions in 2025 by Time magazine in the United States.
Next goal: Define the next - generation AI consumer electronics energy carrier from the aspects of long battery life, high energy density, and high safety
Yaoshi Lithium Battery focuses on solving the impossible triangle in the high - end consumer electronics battery industry and closely meets the energy improvement needs of AI hardware. The self - developed next - generation O2 - phase lithium cobaltate by Yaoshi Lithium Battery can increase the energy density by about 7%. Paired with low - expansion and high - dynamics silicon anodes and processes such as thermal composite lamination and electrode micro - channel treatment, it can simultaneously improve energy density and fast - charging performance. At the same time, it is also deploying quasi - solid - state and all - solid - state anode - free technologies. The energy density of the quasi - solid - state battery can exceed 1000Wh/L, and the all - solid - state anode - free battery can increase the energy density by 20% and reduce the manufacturing cost by 80% compared with traditional metal lithium batteries.
Product matrix of Yaoshi Lithium Battery's consumer electronics solid - state batteries
In the smart wearable device market, in response to the pain points of short battery life and overheating of wearable devices, the "Iron Man Battery" launched by Yaoshi Lithium Battery not only increases the capacity by 30% but also significantly improves the temperature rise performance of the devices. This solution has been verified and approved by leading customers in the industry and is about to be mass - produced.
In response to the pain points of AI glasses, such as the difficulty of balancing capacity and safety in a small volume, short battery life, and easy overheating, Yaoshi Lithium Battery has developed a dedicated solid - state battery solution. With ultra - high integration, it breaks through the energy storage bottleneck of small - volume devices. Relying on in - situ solidification technology and highly corrosion - resistant micro - encapsulation technology, it improves heat dissipation and structural stability, solving the battery life anxiety.
In the power bank field, the frequent safety accidents in the industry in 2025 prompted the country to introduce stricter safety standards. Yaoshi Lithium Battery quickly launched a special ultra - thin magnetic semi - solid power bank battery cell. Relying on oxide solid - state electrolytes and positive and negative electrode protection technologies, it fully meets the national standards and has passed strict tests such as needle penetration, extrusion, thermal abuse, and lithium plating, solving the pain points of traditional battery cells, such as easy ignition when punctured and the difficulty of balancing magnetic ultra - thin design and high capacity.
No fire or explosion when pierced by a 5mm steel needle
In addition, for industrial - grade AI drones, Yaoshi Lithium Battery has launched a high - power battery series, with an energy density of ≥380Wh/kg and taking into account the rate performance. The temperature rise during continuous 5C discharge is < 20℃. For AIPC, it has launched a high - energy density series, achieving a real battery life of more than 20 hours for 18mm ultra - thin laptops with an energy density of ≥950Wh/L, fully covering the energy needs of core scenarios in AI consumer electronics.
Yaoshi, Shenzhen State - owned Assets, and the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences join hands with top - notch teams to create a benchmark for consumer solid - state batteries
Yaoshi Lithium Battery was jointly founded by the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunpeng Capital, etc., bringing together top - notch scientific research and industrial forces in the field of solid - state batteries. Li Hong, the project initiator of Yaoshi Lithium Battery, is a top - notch scientist in the field of solid - state batteries in China. He studied under Academician Chen Liquan and has successfully incubated benchmark enterprises such as Tianmu Pioneer and Weilan New Energy (which has applied for IPO on the Science and Technology Innovation Board). Yaoshi Lithium Battery is an important layout of Li Hong in the field of consumer electronics solid - state batteries.
