Recently, the Anhui Province New Energy Vehicle Industry Cluster Construction Promotion Conference was held in Hefei. The meeting proposed that to accelerate the construction of an internationally competitive new energy vehicle industry cluster, provincial enterprises should give full play to their resource advantages, demonstrate the responsibilities of state-owned enterprises, actively serve Anhui Province's major strategies, and contribute "Jianghuai Pillars" to accelerating the construction of a strong new energy vehicle province.
Relying on the copper industry chain advantages of Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group, Anhui Tongguan Copper Foil Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Tongguan Copper Foil ) has learned advanced technology and strengthened technical research, and has formed a production capacity of 20,000 tons of copper foil for lithium batteries. The technology and equipment levels are among the best in the domestic industry and internationally advanced, and can fully meet the needs of lithium battery customers. The company's 6-micron ultra-thin double-sided optoelectronic copper foil product for lithium batteries was selected into the first batch of new materials in Anhui Province, and has established long-term cooperative relationships with leading domestic lithium battery suppliers such as CATL, BYD, and Guoxuan Hi-Tech.
Lithium batteries are widely used in new energy vehicles, consumer electronics, energy storage batteries and other fields. As their market size continues to expand, the demand for copper foil for lithium batteries continues to grow. Copper foil for lithium batteries has a smooth surface, uniform thickness, good conductivity and corrosion resistance, and is one of the important basic materials for manufacturing lithium batteries.
In order to seize the favorable opportunities arising from the rapid development of the new energy industry, Tongguan Copper Foil has successively invested in the construction of lithium battery copper foil projects in Tongling City and Chizhou City Development Zone. It is expected to increase the annual production capacity of 25,000 tons and consolidate and expand the company's Industry leading position to better meet customer needs.
In June this year, Tongguan Copper Foil started construction of a high-performance electronic copper foil technology center, aiming to comprehensively enhance the company's independent innovation capabilities and core product competitiveness. The center will build a national-level high-performance electronic copper foil research and development base through industry-university-research cooperation with universities at home and abroad engaged in non-ferrous metal research, focusing on breaking through common technical difficulties and "stuck neck" problems in the industry, and developing a batch of internationally advanced products.
