At　the　critical　juncture　of　a　new　round　of　industrial　revolution　and　scientific　and　technological　revolution,　it　is　vital　for　enterprises　to　rapid　identify　and　deploy　the　potentially　disruptive　technologies　in　order　to　build　sustained　innovation　competitiveness.　Because　technological　innovation　is　by　nature　a　continuous　and　endogenous　selection　and　adoption　process,　the　identification　of　disruptive　technologies　needs　to　be　advanced　in　a　continuous　innovation　process.　Innovation　adoption　theory　holds　that　innovation　is　a　new　idea,　technology　or　practice　that　needs　to　go　through　a　series　of　steps　to　be　successfully　adopted　and　implemented　by　enterprises,　and　emphasizes　that　innovation　is　a　relative　concept　and　whether　it　is　adopted　is　relative.　In　this　regard,　based　on　the　analytical　framework　of　innovation　adoption,　this　study　integrates　the　identification　and　definition　of　disruptive　technologies　from　the　perspective　of　the　relativity　of　innovation,　deconstructs　the　innovation　process　of　disruptive　technologies　and　the　process　of　market　disruption,　and　embodies　the　interplay　between　technological　innovation　and　market　adoption,　so　as　to　identify　disruptive　technologies　with　different　needs.　Firstly,　using　BER-topic　model　and　patent　information　mining　techniques　to　obtain　new　technology　functions　and　discontinuous　technology　standards　in　a　phased　manner　to　identify　the　internal　characteristics　of　innovation　of　disruptive　technologies;　secondly,　using　the　CD　index　to　measure　the　disruptive　potential　of　patents　to　identify　the　external　characteristics　of　innovation　of　disruptive　technologies;　and　finally,　a　method　is　constructed　to　identify　disruptive　technologies　based　on　the　internal　and　external　characteristics　of　innovation,　and　technologies　that　satisfy　both　the　internal　and　external　characteristics　of　innovation　are　considered　disruptive　technologies,　and　disruptive　technologies　are　categorized　into　new　market　disruptive　technologies,　low　-　end　disruptive　technologies,　and　high　-　end　disruptive　technologies.　In　order　to　test　the　feasibility　of　the　identification　method,　this　paper　uses　the　patents　in　the　energy　storage　field　as　an　example.　The　identification　process　of　disruptive　technologies　in　energy　storage　is　analyzed　step　by　step　according　to　the　technical　functions　and　technical　standards　of　the　internal　features　of　the　innovations,　and　the　calculation　of　the　CD　index　of　the　external　features　of　the　innovation.　Examples　are　also　given　to　illustrate　the　identification　process　of　different　disruptive　technologies.　In　addition,　the　technological　advancement　index　and　the　Incopat　value　index　are　used　to　further　verify　the　feasibility　and　effectiveness　of　the　identification　method　proposed　in　this　paper.　Notably,　in　the　energy　storage　industry,　technological　innovation　and　market　application　pay　different　attention　to　technical　standards,　and　technical　standard　innovation　is　easier　to　realize　than　technical　function　innovation.　This　paper　introduces　the　perspective　of　innovation　adoption　and　combines　the　innovation　characteristics　and　market　value　of　disruptive　technology,　which　enriches　the　theory　of　disruptive　technology　identification.　Taking　the　field　of　energy　storage　as　an　example,　this　paper　proposes　a　valuable　method　which　could　distinguish　different　types　of　disruptive　technology,　to　identify　disruptive　technology　through　the　combination　of　technology　innovation　and　market　adoption.　Moreover,　the　identification　method　in　this　paper　advances　the　prediction　of　disruptive　innovation　to　the　stage　of　technology　identification,　achieve　pre　-　analysis　to　a　certain　extent,　and　identify　which　type　of　technology　will　lead　to　changes　in　the　market　in　the　future,　providing　a　reference　for　enterprises　to　determine　whether　a　new　technology　has　a　disruptive　impact.　This　paper　not　only　makes　up　for　the　traditional　deficiency　from　the　single　perspective　to　explore　the　issue　of　disruptive　technology　identification,　but　also　provides　a　new　insight　for　disruptive　technology　emerging　and　diffusion.　The　conclusion　has　also　important　enlightenment　for　the　disruptive　innovation　strategy　of　Chinese　enterprises　and　the　construction　of　scientific　and　technological　powerhouse　of　China.　©　2025　Editorial　Department　of　Studies　in　Science　of　Science.　All　rights　reserved.
