3.How thin is 5 m (microns)? ”
It is equivalent to one-thirty-fifth of an average person's hair. ”
In Gansu Hailiang New Energy Materials, located in Lanzhou New District, hereinafter referred to as "Gansu Hailiang New Materials"), Feng Tao, a researcher at new energy materials, made an analogy.
Copper foil is an important material in the field of electronics, mainly used in the production of integrated circuit boards, lithium battery electrodes and other products, "extremely thin" is an important factor for lithium batteries to improve energy density and reduce battery volume.
Through continuous research and development, in 2023, Gansu Hailiang New Materials will take the lead in producing 3A 5 m ultra-thin copper foil roll sample, setting an industry record.
Walking into the copper foil production workshop of Gansu Hailiang New Materials, rows of brand-new foil machines are running at full capacity, and thin copper foil rolls out along the axle, and then after classification, slitting, packaging and other processes, they are ready to go to the market.
In 2023, there will be a total of 750,000 tonnes of copper foil are produced from here and shipped around the world. Zhang Xiuyuan, administrative manager of the general manager's office, introduced that the enterprise is building and producing, and by 2025, after the project is completed and put into operation, it can reach an annual production capacity of 150,000 tons of high-performance copper foil, which will drive the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain to accelerate the agglomeration and help Lanzhou New Area become a high-performance copper foil R&D and production base.
Back to December 16, 2021, this project was implemented in Lanzhou New Area as a key project for investment promotion in Gansu Province. In the following 700 days, the construction speed here presented a scene of "one thing every day, different every day": it took half a year to successfully put into trial production, which was one year shorter than that of peer companies; It was officially put into production in 9 months, and it was the first to produce 3The 5 m ultra-thin copper foil roll sample makes the "new area speed" and "Hailiang speed" constantly lifted;
From a start-up team of less than 40 people to a construction team with more than 1,200 employees, from knocking on the door of the market to holding hands with heavyweight customers such as CATL and BYD, the top five customer orders in the industry account for more than 70%, and Gansu Hailiang New Materials has gradually entered the top echelon of the industry;
In 2023, it will receive many honors such as "Digital Workshop", "Green Factory" and "Smart Factory", and will be recognized as a provincial "high-tech enterprise", and the first group standard in the copper foil industry that it participated in the preparation will pass the review and release ......Gansu Hailiang New Materials has handed over a dazzling report card.
In the past two years, with the further improvement of the technical performance requirements of power lithium electronic batteries, the "ultra-thinning" of lithium battery copper foil has become an industrial development trend. "In 2023, the company will invest a total of about 40 million yuan as R&D funds to vigorously support scientific and technological research. Feng Tao introduced that the company will continue to face the major needs of the country and the industry, create a source of original technology, and strive to take the lead in producing thinner copper foil, and become a scientific research highland in the field of new energy materials.
Today, Gansu Hailiang New Materials has grown into one of the leading enterprises in the domestic electronic copper foil industry, realizing that the copper foil is getting thinner and thinner, the profits are getting thicker and thicker, and the market is getting bigger and bigger.
Although the company has been established for a short time, it has entered the top ten in the industry. Feng Tao was glad that he had chosen to join an innovative enterprise and set foot on the fertile soil of new energy development in Gansu, catching up with the country's strong support for the development of new energy.
