According to a release from the "Chengdu Eastern New Area," on October 15, Sichuan Huatuo New Material Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Huatuo New Material) commenced construction of its lithium-ion battery separator project in Jianzhou New City, Chengdu Eastern New Area, Sichuan. It is reported that the Huatuo New Material lithium-ion battery separator project has a total investment of 4.5 billion yuan and will focus on core businesses such as new-type lithium battery separator materials and battery components, producing wet-process lithium battery separators, including two major product categories: base film and coated separator. These products will be applied in power batteries, ESS batteries, and some 3C electronics fields. The project will be constructed in two phases, with an overall plan of 16 production lines. It is expected that full production will be achieved in the third year after the first phase begins operation, at which point annual operating revenue is expected to be no less than 1.25 billion yuan.

It is expected to reach full production in the third year after the first phase becomes operational, at which point it is expected to achieve annual operating revenue of no less than 1.25 billion yuan.

Leveraging the location advantage of Chengdu Eastern New Area along the Chengdu-Chongqing development axis, the project can directly supply leading battery enterprises in south-west China, such as the CATL Yibin base and the CALB Chengdu base, while also providing nearby services to chain-leading enterprises like the SVOLT Chengdu base in the new area, significantly reducing logistics costs, shortening supply chain coordination cycles, and quickly entering the core lithium battery materials market in south-west China.

According to available information, Shaanxi Huatuo Enterprise Management Holding Co., Ltd. (referred to as Huatuo Holding) was established in 2019 and serves as the core holding platform of a diversified industrial group, with multiple core subsidiaries across the country. In April 2026, Huatuo Holding registered and established Sichuan Huatuo New Material Technology Co., Ltd. in Chengdu Eastern New Area, and in July, the lithium-ion battery separator project was officially signed and settled in Jianzhou New City.

300,000 mt/year! Anode material project in Dongying, Shandong obtains EIA approval

Recently, the Dongying Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau of Shandong Province approved the environmental impact report for Dongying Donghua Chemical Technology Co., Ltd.'s 300,000 mt/year NEV power battery anode coating new material processing project. According to the project information, the project is located in Dongying District Chemical Industry Park, east of Shihua Avenue and south of Xinghua Road. Using ethylene tar as raw material, the project will produce 118,500 mt/year of high, medium, and low temperature power coating materials through distillation, granulation, packaging, and other processes (including 50,000 mt/year of low-temperature power battery anode coating material, 40,000 mt/year of medium-temperature power battery anode coating material, and 28,500 mt/year of high-temperature power battery anode coating material), as well as 181,350 mt/year of high, medium, and low temperature resin raw materials (including 49,800 mt/year of low-temperature indene resin material, 69,000 mt/year of medium-temperature indene resin material, and 62,550 mt/year of high-temperature indene resin material). The total project investment is 470 million yuan, including 5.24 million yuan for environmental protection. The project has obtained the Shandong Province construction project filing certificate (project code: 2510-370502-89-01-512087).

Japan’s GSA Opens Battery Direct Regeneration Lab in Switzerland

【Japan’s GSA Opens Battery Direct Regeneration Laboratory in Switzerland】Japanese green technology company Green Science Alliance and the Swiss Battery Technology Center have opened a battery direct regeneration laboratory at the Swiss Innovation Park in Biel/Bienne, Canton of Bern. The technology directly regenerates cathode active materials from mechanically processed black mass without acid-base leaching for individual metal extraction, covering both NMC and LFP chemistries. Published laboratory results indicate that batteries made with regenerated cathode materials achieve over 90% of the initial capacity of equivalent commercial-material batteries. Under the collaboration, Green Science Alliance provides the technology while the Swiss Battery Technology Center contributes research capability, infrastructure, and laboratory facilities; the two parties jointly conduct materials assessment, electrode and cell manufacturing, performance testing, and industrialization and scalability evaluation. The first phase of the collaboration is supported by an Innosuisse Innovation Cheque.
