Driven by the global energy structure transformation and the "dual carbon" goals, battery technology is evolving from a traditional power storage medium into a core engine reshaping transportation, consumer electronics, and even the energy internet. From fundamental breakthroughs in materials science to the industrialisation of cutting-edge technologies such as solid-state and sodium-ion batteries, the battery industry is in a period of technological explosion with intense competition. This conference brings together the world's top scholars, industry chain leaders, and capital forces, aiming to break down barriers between industry, academia, research, and application. We will delve into key topics including high energy density, ultimate safety, ultra-fast charging technology, and recycling, jointly charting a new blueprint for green, efficient, and sustainable energy.
Nayuan New Materials Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. will attend this grand event to discuss industry development trends with industry peers and jointly drive battery technology to new heights. form to sign up immediately, witness and participate in this significant and far-reaching industry event, and create a brilliant new chapter together!
Nayuan New Materials Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. was established in March 2022, headquartered in Xinwu District, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. It is a national-level high-tech enterprise specialising in the R&D, production, and sales of cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.
Core Products and Technological Advantages
The company's core product is the modified polyanion sodium iron sulphate (NFS) cathode material system (main material + dedicated additive), making it currently the only enterprise in China capable of providing NFS core "hard" additives at scale. Nayuan New Materials pioneered the "scaffold-building" additive technology, successfully overcoming three major industry-wide challenges of NFS materials — low compaction density, cell swelling and gassing, and rapid degradation during high-temperature cycling. Meanwhile, the Nayuan NFS system material achieves an electrode compaction density of 2.7 g/cm³, combined with a high average voltage of 3.7 V, as well as good moisture resistance, enabling broad compatibility with existing LFP and ternary lithium battery cell production lines for mass production.
Based on the same platform technology, the next-generation anode-free sodium-ion battery can be developed with an energy density of 220 Wh/kg, and the anode-free all-solid-state sodium-ion battery can achieve an energy density of 320 Wh/kg, surpassing mainstream LFP levels while reducing material costs by 70%–80% compared to LFP, featuring a 3.7 V high-voltage platform and water-soluble easy-to-recycle characteristics.
Team and R&D
The company was founded by a doctoral team with extensive German industrial and research backgrounds. Founder and Chairman Dr. Liu Zhongqing holds a doctoral degree from Germany. He conducted postdoctoral research at the Jülich Research Centre (in the team of Chinese Academy of Engineering member Martin Winter), and subsequently worked in product development at SCHOTT Group in Germany and energy research at the University of Oxford, combining academic depth with industrial experience.
Over 40% of the company's employees are R&D personnel. The company has established an R&D centre and an engineering technology centre at its Wuxi headquarters, as well as an R&D centre and a lab-scale/pre-pilot line in Suzhou. It has assembled more than 30 high-end sci-tech talents, including PhDs and master's degree holders, filed 25 invention patents (9 granted), and participated in formulating 3 industry standards for sodium-ion batteries.
Capacity Layout and Industrialisation
Nayuan New Materials has completed a leapfrog development of NFS materials from R&D to mass production: the 5 kt NFS mass production line in Jiangxi has achieved full capacity, while the 10 kt-level production line in Lu'an, Anhui is being accelerated. The company has sent samples to over 100 clients for testing and secured kt-level orders. Its products precisely cover scenarios including light-duty power (two-wheelers/three-wheelers), start-stop power supply, and UPS, while proactively expanding into high-end applications such as aircraft, robotics, energy storage, and AIDC backup power.
Honours and Recognition
In 2024, the company was recognised as a National High-tech Enterprise. At the 2nd China Sodium-ion Battery Conference, it won two awards (Technology Innovation Breakthrough Enterprise and Young Talent Award). Dr. Liu Zhongqing was honoured with the 20th Jiangsu May Fourth Youth Medal in 2026.
Product application scenarios encompass light-duty power batteries, start-stop batteries, household ESS, and distributed ESS, meeting users' core demands for safety, long lifespan, and low cost.
