2023 is the first year of the development of sodium battery industrialization, and the industrialization of sodium ion batteries is the trend. With advantages in performance, cost, and other aspects, sodium batteries can be widely used in energy storage, communication base stations, two/three wheeled vehicles, electric tools, and other fields, with a potential market of over 100 billion yuan. Institutions predict that by 2025, the shipment of sodium ion batteries will exceed 50 gigawatt hours, and by 2030 it will exceed 1000 gigawatt hours. In the coming years, the compound annual growth rate of sodium ion batteries will exceed 82.6%. In the promising future, sodium electricity has become one of the most popular tracks pursued by capital.
Recently, SIMT, a manufacturer of sodium positive electrode materials, has completed tens of millions of yuan in angel round financing.The investors in this round are Jinjue Capital and Xintou Angel Fund. The financing funds will mainly be used for the construction of the pilot line, which is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of this year. At the same time, Na Yuan New Materials has started planning and layout for a thousand ton production line, with plans to start production in 2024.
SIMT Sodium Yuan New Materials was established in March 2022, focusing on the research and development, production, and sales of positive electrode materials for sodium ion batteries. The company has the ability to research and manufacture sodium ion positive electrode materials, design production line equipment, and design full battery cells.
There are three main routes for selecting positive electrode materials for sodium ion batteries: layered oxides, polyanions, and Prussian blue based materials. Na Yuan New Materials mainly focuses on the development of layered oxide and polyanion materials. The company currently has multiple research and development technology platforms such as SIMT Suzhou R&D Center, SIMT Wuxi Engineering Technology Center, and the Southern University of Science and Technology Na Yuan New Materials Energy Storage and Conversion Joint Laboratory, with dozens of doctors, masters, and technical experts.
Currently, Na Yuan New Materials has three main products, namely energy storage type, power type, and capacity type positive electrode materials. The single energy target of the energy storage positive electrode material is 120-140Wh/kg, and the full electric cycle target is 4000 cycles. The single energy target of the power type positive electrode material is 160-180Wh/kg, and the full electric cycle target is 2000 cycles. The single energy target of the capacity type positive electrode material is 200Wh/kg, and the full electric cycle target is 1000-1500 cycles.
On the client side, Na Yuan New Materials has completed hundreds of kilograms of sample delivery and collaborative development, and has developed more than 30 downstream customers for Na Electric. Customers expect product demand to reach batches of over 100 kilograms, with some reaching batch tonnage.
In addition, the company's thousand ton/ten thousand ton production base is currently in preparation, with an annual sales volume of over one billion yuan after commissioning.
From November 9th to 10th, the "2023 China Sodium Battery Industry Annual Conference and the 2nd China Sodium Ion Battery Technology and Industry Development Summit Forum" will be held in Suzhou, China. This conference comprehensively interprets sodium batteries and their material systems, involving sodium batteries, positive and negative electrodes, electrolytes, sodium hexafluorophosphate, and supporting service provider solutions, focusing on the latest developments in sodium battery material system technology and processes. The conference will also invite more than 30 industry experts, 300+upstream and downstream enterprises in battery materials, and 500+practitioners in the new energy battery industry to participate, showcasing the research and progress of China's sodium ion batteries and their material systems in all aspects, and deeply exploring the future development direction of sodium batteries and battery materials.
At this conference, Dr. Liu Zhongqing, CEO of Na Yuan New Materials Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., was specially invited to give a keynote speech on "Design Ideas and Product Applications of Layered Positive Electrode Materials for Sodium Ion Batteries", sharing the design and application of layered positive electrode materials with everyone.
