[Seven departments: Improve the application level of new batteries such as flexible batteries and special-shaped batteries in smart wearable devices and other fields] On September 28, seven departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of New Battery Industry", which proposed to promote innovative applications in multiple fields. Improve the application level of new batteries such as flexible batteries and special-shaped batteries in the fields of smart wearable devices, smart homes, and mobile medical equipment, consolidate and expand the application scale of new energy vehicles and consumer electronics, and expand application scenarios in "sand desert" and alpine regions. Actively promote the electrification of public transportation, heavy trucks, aviation, inland water vessels, agricultural machinery and other fields, and carry out the application of new energy storage in innovative scenarios such as intelligent computing centers and industrial green microgrids. Explore innovations in application models such as green power direct connection, virtual power plants, and computing and power collaboration. Explore application scenarios such as deep space, deep sea, deep earth and polar exploration, brain-computer interface, intelligent bionics, intelligent robots, and special equipment to serve the country’s major strategies and cutting-edge technology development needs.
