I wonder what chemical composition it is.

CATL chief scientist Wu Kai says the condensed battery integrates a range of innovative technologies, including the ultra-high energy density cathode materials, innovative anode materials, separators, and manufacturing processes, offering excellent charge and discharge performance as well as good safety performance.

"Good" safety performance... makes me think it isn't as good as LFP.

No mention of life cycles, or cost.
