A |     Fighting was reported in the town of Kanyabusoro in Rutshuru Territory on Thursday between M23 and DR Congo armed forces (FARDC), according to Agence France-Presse. The city that sits on the border with Rwanda and was seized by M23 last week,A day prior, a “ceasefire” had been announced by Angolan President Joao Lourenco after he invited his Congolese and Rwandan counterparts to Luanda for peace talks. The previous six weeks have seen both nations threaten war and accuse each other of sponsoring proxy forces in Congo’s North Kivu Province.,"We are Congolese, not Rwandans. If there is a ceasefire, it can only be between us and the Congolese government," Willy Ngoma, spokesman for the M23, told AFP on Thursday. He denied the M23 was responsible for the firefight, claiming FARDC had fired on them first.,Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi has accused Rwandan President Paul Kagame, a Tutsi, of sponsoring the predominantly Tutsi M23 group - accusations somewhat supported by a United Nations report but which Kagame’s government has long denied.,The Wednesday agreement overseen by Lourenco established a new “roadmap” to stabilizing Congo-Rwanda relations as well as the North Kivu area, including reviving a long-dormant Congo-Rwanda commission in Luanda, which had been created in the early 21st century to end the fighting of the previous war.,According to the text of the roadmap printed by the Rwanda New Times on Thursday, the deal requires the M23 to cease hostilities and withdraw immediately “from occupied positions.” It also requires both governments to “defeat” the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) and its many splinter groups “which are at the origin of tensions between Rwanda and DRC and play a major role in the insecurity of the DRC.”,The FDLR militia is a Hutu Power group in North Kivu descended from those responsible for the 1994 genocide of Rwandan Tutsis and Twa, and Kigali has accused Kinshasa of cooperating with it.The Project on Violent Conflict, a US Department of Homeland Security-funded project, has substantiated some of those allegations, writing that “the relationship between the FARDC and the FDLR oscillates between open conflict and covert cooperation.”,"This roadmap does not commit the M23," Ngoma told AFP in Goma, a city on the border with Rwanda. "We are Congolese, we have nothing to do with Rwanda. We are asked to leave here, but to go where? It is impossible.”,The M23 also originated in the Congo Wars, but demobilized in 2013 following a deal with Kinshasa. However, the group once again took up arms late last year, claiming the government had not kept its end of the deal.,Speaking to the state-owned France24 on Monday, two days before the Luanda deal was reached, Ben Shepherd, a leading specialist on DR Congo and the Great Lakes Region from the London-based Chatham House, said it was unlikely the present situation would actually result in open warfare between Kinshasa and Kigali.,“But the stakes are high. Beyond the tragic consequences for the people of eastern DR Congo, which should never be underestimated, there are real possibilities for inadvertent escalation. The last round of violence between the M23 and DR Congo was ended by a SADC [Southern African Development Community]-led intervention; this time round, the EAC [East African Community] is proposing an intervention force, despite Rwanda itself being an EAC member state, and southern Africa’s heavyweights, notably Angola and South Africa, still having significant stakes in the game,” he said.,“It is imperative that DR Congo does not become once again a battleground for competing geo-political aspirations, but this will take careful diplomacy,” he added.。

IT之家 8 月 23 日消息，据外媒 insideevs 当地时间 22 日报道，LG 新能源（LGES）认为，固态电池在大规模进入汽车市场前，可能会先在智能手机、无人机等非汽车领域实现商业化。LGES 指出，虽然当前人们认为固态电池能够带来更长续航、更高安全性和更快充电速度，但最大的挑战仍然是大规模量产。LGES 北美总裁罗伯特 · 李指出，大规模制造是固态电池商业化面临的主要障碍：“固态电池的问题在于大规模生产。如果制造小尺寸电池，应该能够实现。但如果需要制造非常大的电池，大多数企业仍然面临困难。”他认为，智能手机等小型设备可能会比汽车更早采用固态电池。“在智能手机中看到这项技术，可能要比在汽车中看到它早大约 10 年。在将其应用于汽车甚至储能系统之前，我预计它会首先进入一些特定应用场景。”具体来看，“早期应用”有望包括智能手机、无人机以及高性能汽车。据IT之家了解，去年，梅赛德斯-奔驰搭载 Factorial Energy 半固态电池的原型 EQS 轿车实现单次充电行驶接近 1207 公里。

C | 宝马 i7 原型车也用上了 Solid Power 提供的全固态电池，Stellantis 也开始测试搭载半固态电池包的道奇 Charger Daytona 汽车。

D | 中国企业推进固态电池的速度更快。比亚迪、宁德时代、吉利等企业正在展开竞争，计划于 2027 年启动试点，并在本世纪 20 年代末推动更广泛应用。不过，LGES 认为，现有锂离子电池技术仍将继续推动汽车续航和充电能力提升。目前，LGES 正在与通用汽车合作开发富锂锰（LMR）电池。这种电池将减少镍和钴的使用，更多依赖锰。由于镍和钴价格较高，且开采过程存在环境影响，LMR 电池有望降低成本。此外，除固态电池和 LMR 电池外，LGES 也在推进更先进的锂离子电池、钠离子电池等下一代技术。
