Hunan’s first thousand-ton production line for sodium-ion battery cathode materials enters commissioning and installation stage
An important step has been taken in the construction of Changsha’s “Sodium and Electricity Capital”
Changsha Evening News on November 13 (all-media reporter Zhou Bin) From the establishment of the Changsha Sodium-ion Battery Innovation Consortium in June last year, to the establishment of the province’s first sodium-ion battery research institute in March this year, to the establishment of Hunan’s first sodium-ion battery cathode material The kiloton-level production line has entered the commissioning and installation stage, and Changsha is moving forward step by step to build the world’s “sodium capital”.
Debugging will be basically completed by the end of this year
In the spacious new factory, technicians are installing and debugging the production equipment. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. This is what the reporter saw recently at the construction site of the 1,000-ton production line for sodium-ion battery cathode materials of Hunan Nabang New Energy Co., Ltd. located in Ningxiang High-tech Zone. scene.
“According to the current progress, debugging will be basically completed by the end of this year. In the follow-up process, there are only the introduction of production lines from 100 kilograms to 1,000 tons, and then the debugging and optimization of equipment during the production process.” Professor, School of Metallurgy and Environment, Central South University Zhang Zhian, R&D director of Hunan Nabang New Energy Co., Ltd., said that the first generation of sodium-ion battery cathode materials will be produced here, which also means that the production of sodium-ion battery materials in Changsha has entered the substantive production stage.
It is understood that the “Key Technology for the Preparation of Cathode Materials for Sodium Ion Batteries” project ranks first on the list of major science and technology projects in Changsha City in 2022. It was jointly developed by Zhongwei Co., Ltd., Hunan Nabang, and Central South University.
“The biggest advantage of sodium batteries over lithium batteries is cost.” Tang Yougen, president of the Hunan Battery Industry Association and professor at Central South University, said that in some small power markets, such as two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, and short-range A0-class passenger cars, For electricity, sodium batteries will be the first to get some applications. In addition, sodium batteries will have great potential in energy storage in the future, such as large-scale industrial energy storage applications.
Changsha will usher in the era of lithium and sodium “flying together”
In order to expand the application fields of the advanced energy storage materials industry chain, in June last year, 20 member units including Hunan Battery Industry Association, Central South University, Changsha Mining and Metallurgy Research Institute, Cubic New Energy, and Nabang New Energy formed the Changsha Sodium-ion Battery Innovation Alliance It is proposed to rely on leading enterprises, university advantages, research institutes, funds and other institutions to accelerate the implementation of sodium-ion battery technology research, achievement transformation, and industrialization projects through upstream and downstream linkage, enterprise-enterprise cooperation, and school-enterprise cooperation, and help Changsha Strive for a new chapter and start a new chapter in the field of sodium ion materials and batteries, and build Changsha into the world’s “sodium electricity capital”.
In March this year, Hunan’s first sodium-electricity research institute was unveiled at Meite New Material Technology Co., Ltd. in Wangcheng Economic Development Zone, marking Hunan’s new material energy storage research and achievement transformation rising to a new level.
At the second sodium-ion battery industry chain and standards development forum held in July this year, Changsha was named one of the “Top Ten Innovative Cities for Sodium-Ion Batteries in 2023.”
As Hunan Nabang New Energy Co., Ltd.’s 1,000-ton production line for sodium-ion battery cathode materials is about to be put into operation, this also means that Changsha’s advanced energy storage materials industry will usher in an era of “flying together” between lithium and sodium, which reflects Changsha’s advanced energy storage industry. The brilliant picture of the emerging energy storage materials industry cluster.
