Abstract: The concept and characteristics as well as main research contents, key techniques and correlated scientific problems of intelligent processing of materials (IPM) are discussed. The research and development situation of IPM is reviewed, and the future applications are prospected. The intelligent processing technology of materials should have two important characteristics：materials can be designed according to the demands of practical use, and the designs of property and proc-essing technology should be integrated. During the full process of the design and processing of materials, structure, properties and shape dimension can be controlled accurately.

Key words: Advanced materials, Integrated design, Intelligent processing of materials, Intelligentization, Balancing management, Hybrid energy storage system, State estimation, Ultracapacitor, Electrified vehicles
