01. The popularity of the exhibition reflects the overall trend of the industry. Sodium batteries have entered the era of global demand from the domestic trend
Against the backdrop of the accelerated transformation of energy structure in the post lithium era, the explosive demand for global energy storage market, and the continuous expansion of the new energy replenishment gap in the high-altitude regions of Asia and Europe, sodium ion batteries have quickly overcome the concept hype in the early stages of the industry by virtue of their inherent advantages such as abundant resource reserves, controllable costs, excellent safety performance, and strong low-temperature adaptability. They have officially accelerated from a domestic industry hotspot to an international market demand.

Looking at the exchange of new energy exhibition areas at this year's Asia Europe Expo, it can be clearly seen that the markets along the Asia Europe North Line, such as Russia and Central Asia, rely on the long and cold winter climate, vast energy storage application scenarios, and the huge demand for low-speed electric vehicles and large outdoor energy storage equipment to meet the unique regional characteristics of sodium electricity procurement needs. Among them, the polyanion sodium circuit line, with its excellent low-temperature discharge performance, stable structural safety, and long cycle service life far exceeding other technical routes, accurately matches the core pain points in the high-altitude regions of Asia and Europe, and has become the core business card for China's sodium electricity technology to enter the Asia Europe market.
02. Targeting the pain points of overseas customers with extreme cold performance and a full chain solution becomes a must-have for going global
During face-to-face in-depth consultations at the exhibition site, overseas customers' demands shed conceptual packaging and presented a highly pragmatic and focused on implementation. Consultation and cooperation demands were focused on two core pain points in the industry, directly pointing to the biggest obstacle to the implementation of overseas sodium electricity applications:
The first major pain point:The stability of batteries in extremely low temperature environments is tested throughout Russia and the northern region of Central Asia. Winter lasts for more than half a year, and traditional lithium batteries face conventional low temperatures of -20 ℃ and extreme cold weather of -30 ℃ all year round. Traditional lithium batteries have excellent performance at room temperature, but their capacity drops sharply and discharge efficiency declines significantly at low temperatures.
Sodium Yuan New Material Polyanion Positive Electrode Material, adopting dual technology routes in parallel, NFS system material is uniqueCombining Soft and Hard to Build a SkeletonTechnology has solved the problem of low compaction density and poor cycling stability of a single NFS material. NFPP material is usedUltra melting synthesis technologyFurther optimize material properties.
Solution for Sodium Yuan New Material Polyanion System
Both routes can achieve stable discharge in extremely cold environments, adapt to the extremely cold climate of the Eurasian North Line, and solve the core application problems of overseas customers. They have a wide range of application scenarios in sub fields such as consumer electronics, lightweight power vehicles, future large energy storage, and artificial intelligence AIDC.
The second major pain point:Overseas markets urgently need full chain battery technology support. For overseas markets, what they need is not just low-priced battery raw material suppliers, but also a desire to bind and provide themMaterials+Process+Cell Design+PACK IntegrationA strategic partner for one-stop closed-loop services. It is difficult to leverage the vast overseas market solely through crude export of raw materials.
Regarding the industry's overseas expansion, Dr. Liu Zhongqing, CEO of Na Yuan New Materials, said, "In the early stages of the development of the domestic sodium ion battery industry, industry competition focused on improving material energy density and reducing production costs. However, after industrialization iterations, simple cost advantages are no longer sufficient to support future overseas competition
The core competitiveness of China's sodium electricity industry has completed a transition from a single cost advantage to a comprehensive technological advantage in material research and development, customized cell design, PACK integration and debugging, and later operation and maintenance support. In the future overseas competition, the focus is not on individual product prices, but on localized customized solutions and one-stop landing service capabilities
03. Anchoring Xinjiang's strategic fulcrum, relying on the the Belt and Road portal, and deepening the overseas market
As the core area of the the Belt and Road and the first gateway for China to open to the west, Xinjiang has irreplaceable geographical, logistics and policy advantages, and is the strategic fulcrum for domestic new energy enterprises to layout in the Central Asian and Russian markets. The two-way cooperation bridge built by the 9th Asia Europe Expo provides an excellent opportunity for Nayuan New Materials to deeply cultivate the Asia Europe North Line market.
When it comes to the follow-up global layout plan of the enterprise, Dr. Liu Zhongqing clearly stated, "Xinjiang is an energy and economic hub connecting China and the Eurasian continent, and it is also an important part of our global layout. In the future, Na Yuan New Materials will take this expo as an opportunity to continue to expand its overseas market, focusing on selecting high-quality local partners in Central Asia and Russia, and building a localized joint service network. At the same time, based on the exclusive working conditions of overseas high-altitude scenes, large-scale energy storage, and outdoor engineering machinery, we will selectively iterate and optimize the low-temperature performance, cycle life, and safety properties of polyanion materials, and create a customized sodium electricity product matrix that is truly suitable for the Eurasian market
04. Looking ahead to the future, using China's sodium electric technology to assist in the global zero carbon transformation
The sodium electricity cooperation boom at this year's Asia Europe Expo is just a microcosm of the globalization trend of China's sodium ion battery industry. According to the latest forecast from authoritative new energy industry institutions, the overall global shipment of sodium ion batteries will exceed 50GWh by 2026, and the penetration rate of overseas markets will continue to increase. The proportion of overseas market shipments will exceed 30%, and the Asia Europe high-altitude energy storage and low-speed power battery market for vehicles will become one of the fastest-growing segments of global sodium battery growth.
In the future, Naiyuan New Materials will continue to adhere to the main track of polyanion technology, build strong barriers to extreme cold sodium electricity technology, and continue to promote comprehensive upgrades from material output to technology output and standard output. Based on the hub of the Silk Road, connecting the entire Asia Europe region, with independent and controllable Chinese sodium electric hard core technology and one-stop system solutions, we aim to assist in the low-carbon upgrading of the new energy industry in the Asia Europe continent, and continuously contribute China's intelligent manufacturing strength to the global energy transformation.
