In his speech, Dr. Liu Zhongqing systematically disclosed the company's new breakthroughs and strategic layout in NFS, NFPP core material system, cutting-edge technology without negative electrodes, and AIDC applications, based on industry development trends and enterprise research and development practices. At the critical juncture of transitioning from "technological exploration" to "scale implementation" in the industry, Na Yuan New Materials has solved industrialization problems through engineering innovation, providing a mature and feasible technological path for empowering core scenarios such as AI computing power, energy storage, and industrial backup for Na Electric.
01. The turning point of industrial iteration is emerging: Sodium electricity is moving from "optional substitution" to "landing on essential needs"
The current global sodium ion battery industry continues to heat up, with policies, capital, and industry chain resources gathering towards the track. But behind the rapid development of the industry, the pain points of industrialization are still prominent:
Most enterprises are still stuck in the laboratory technology research and development stage, and there is still a scarcity of enterprises that truly possess the ability to conduct material bottom layer research and development, process stability control, mass production of tens of thousands of tons, and precise scene implementation throughout the entire chain.
Dr. Liu Zhongqing from Na Yuan New Materials
With the acceleration of industry reshuffle, the sodium electricity technology route is gradually bidding farewell to the exploratory stage of diverse development and ushering in a clear trend of technological convergence. Among the three mainstream positive electrode routes of layered oxides, Prussian blue, and polyanions, polyanion materials have gradually become the core preferred direction for industrial scale implementation due to their comprehensive advantages of structural stability, high safety, long cycle life, wide adaptability, and strong cost controllability.
Industry awareness has also undergone a fundamental upgrade:Sodium ion batteries are no longer an alternative solution to lithium price fluctuations, but a new electrochemical system with independent technological value, scenario value, and industrial value.
Relying on core characteristics such as high resource abundance, supply chain security, green recyclability, and wide temperature range adaptation, the essential attributes of sodium power in segmented scenarios such as industrial backup, energy storage, and computational energy continue to be highlighted, officially entering the golden window period for large-scale implementation.
02. Implementation of dual product matrix: NFS+NFPP accurately matches all scenario requirements
asLeader of Solution for Polyanion Positive Electrode Material SystemNa Yuan New Materials has abandoned the concept of homogeneous research and development, and based on the core demands of different application scenarios, has created two differentiated product systems, NFS and NFPP. It has also laid out the industry's first 10000 ton NFS/NFPP dual system compatible production line in Lu'an, with precise product positioning and mature engineering capabilities, to solve the industry's landing problems.
NFS: "Main materials+additives" create high stability performance and ultimate cost
NFS is a self-developed polyanionic positive electrode material of sodium iron sulfate based on the core of Sodium Yuan New Materials, relying on its unique characteristicsCombining Soft and Hard to Build a SkeletonTechnology has achieved multiple breakthroughs in safety, recyclability, and cost-effectiveness from the root, with a core focus on lead-acid battery replacement and consumer electronics scenarios.
NFS system material
Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, the NFS system has significant material advantages, with a cycle life that can reach 2-3 times that of lead-acid products. It also has better thermal and chemical stability. At the same time, the company relies on mature process scaling capabilities, and with the continuous increase in mass production scale, the cost of NFS products will continue to decline, possessing core competitiveness for large-scale marketization.
More importantly, Na Yuan New Materials has built a complete material lifecycle system, connecting multi-level resource utilization paths such as battery grade, food grade, and recycling grade, achieving efficient material recycling and reuse.
This advantage is perfectly suited for use scenarios such as consumer electronics, lightweight power vehicles, commercial UPS, etc., which require low cost, green environmental protection, safety and stability throughout the entire lifecycle.

Technological innovation breakthrough: resolving the shortcomings of main materials through additive engineering
Different from the industry's research and development approach of simply optimizing the main materials, Na Yuan New Materials adheres to an industrial engineering mindset and uses its uniqueCombining Soft and Hard to Build a SkeletonOptimization of additive system, combined with electrode configuration upgrade, accurately compensates for the inherent shortcomings of NFS main material such as low compaction density, poor high-temperature cycling, and easy gas bubble generation, comprehensively improving the comprehensive performance of battery cells.
Through self-developed exclusive additive system, the company successfully increased the compaction density of NFS material from 2.2-2.3 g/cm ³ to 2.7-2.8 g/cm³。
NFPP: Simplified and adjustable process, creating a dual adaptation solution of high magnification and large energy storage
For the segmented scenarios of medium to high power and steady-state energy storage, Na Yuan New Materials has launched NFPP polyanion cathode material.
The company deeply cultivates the core process barriers of NFPP and innovatesUltra melting synthesis technologyOvercoming the common problem of particle size control in the industry. By precisely regulating the uniformity of precursor particle size, optimizing synthesis kinetics and thermodynamic processes, effectively avoiding mass production problems such as impurity generation, crystal defects, and batch instability, the material possesses core characteristics of high pressure compaction, high rate, excellent low-temperature performance, and high batch consistency.
Sodium Far New Materials NFPP material,The compaction density can reach 2.2-2.3 g/cm ³，Capacity retention rate exceeds 85% under high magnification conditions of 10C。
Based on the differentiated needs of different scenarios, Na Yuan New Materials has created two major NFPP segmented products:
High magnification version: suitable for car start stop, high-frequency switching UPS, etc

In the future, with technological iteration, the two major products will achieve performance integration, forming an integrated high-quality solution that adapts to all scenarios, better empowering large energy storage and AIDC computing infrastructure.
03. Frontier technology breakthrough: Non negative NFS achieves a leapfrog upgrade in energy density
Based on the long-term development of the industry, Na Yuan New Materials has taken the lead in laying out cutting-edge technology for non negative electrode sodium electricity, breaking the bottleneck of traditional sodium electricity energy density, achieving a dual leap in performance and cost, and laying a technological foundation for high-end scenario applications.
The energy density of traditional NFS cells is about 120 Wh/kg, but with the introduction of negative electrode free technology, the energy density of the cells has been significantly increased 220 Wh/kg，Reduce battery cell costs by 40%。
In terms of preface layout, Na Yuan New Materials has reached a cooperation agreement with Schott from Germany to promote the integration and research and development of solid-state/semi-solid technology and non negative NFS system. It is expected that the energy density of battery cells can break through in the future 250-320Wh/kgIt is expected to reshape the high-end sodium electricity application market pattern.
