On January 29, Gaole Co., Ltd. announced that the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaole New Energy Technology (Zhejiang) ** referred to as "Gaole New Energy") and Chongqing Nikola Science and Technology Industry Research Institute *** referred to as "Nikola Research Institute") signed on January 28"Technical R&D Cooperation Agreement for Nano Solid-State Sodium-ion Battery Complete Technology Development and Research Project".Gaole New Energy commissioned the Nikola Research Institute to research and develop the "Nano Solid-State Sodium-ion Battery Complete Technology Development and Research Project".
1) Develop complete sets of equipment and processes for solid-state sodium-ion batteries.
2) Develop a 160 Wh kg-1 solid-state sodium-ion battery, and obtain the equipment and process for the preparation of positive and negative electrode materials. (3) Develop the in-situ curing electrolyte technology and curing process for solid-state sodium-ion batteries.
1) Develop a complete set of equipment and cell assembly process for solid-state sodium-ion cells, study the interface modification process to determine the process package of the cell, and finally obtain a 160 wh kg-1 solid-state sodium-ion battery and process.
2) Develop complete sets of equipment and processes for co-precipitation of layered oxide cathodes for sodium-ion batteries, as well as complete sets of equipment and preparation processes for coal-based hard carbon anodes.
3) Develop the in-situ curing electrolyte formula and curing process parameters of solid-state sodium-ion batteries.
1) By selecting appropriate additives, regulating the battery slurry, using nanotechnology to construct a coated electrode piece with a suitable pore size, combined with the polymerization process of solid-state sodium-ion battery, a low-impedance electrode electrolyte interface is constructed.
2) Preparation of high-entropy layered oxide cathode based on co-precipitation method, and development of corresponding equipment and processes. At the same time, anthracite coal is used as raw material to develop equipment and preparation process for hard carbon anode.
3) Select suitable polymerization monomers and polymerization initiators, and develop in-situ curing process packages for electrolytes for sodium-ion batteries.
(1) R&D expenses in the first stage: 30 million yuan.
The first payment: After the effective date of this agreement, Party A shall pay Party B 10 million yuan for R&D expenses;
The second payment: After the construction of the 2GW production line is completed, meets the technical parameters and runs normally, Party A will pay Party B 10 million yuan;
The third payment: After the 2GW production line reaches the mass production conditions, Party A pays Party B 10 million yuan.
(2) Back-end revenue sharing: Party B participates in the back-end revenue sharing of the project, which shall be determined by both parties through negotiation.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Wang Xiangyu, the legal representative of Chongqing Nikola Science and Technology Industry Research Institute, is a shareholder of more than 5% of Gaole shares.
It is reported that on January 28, the first large-capacity and high-energy density nano-solid-state sodium-ion battery pilot product rolled off the assembly line on the nano-scale solid-state battery pilot production line of Nikola Science and Technology Industry Research Institute in Tongnan High-tech Zone, Chongqing. Based on the high-performance positive and negative electrode materials independently developed by Nikola Science and Technology Industry Research Institute, combined with advanced technologies such as nano-modification of the anode surface, low-temperature electrolyte formulation and in-situ curing of electrolyte, the energy density of the battery reaches 160-180 Wh kg, which is equivalent to that of lithium iron phosphate batteries and is at the leading level in China.
The large-capacity, high-energy-density nano-solid-state sodium-ion battery we developed is the first choice for energy storage batteries and low-speed electric vehicle power batteries in alpine and high-latitude areas, with low cost, high safety, long cycle life and good low-temperature performance. ”Tang Yongfu, chief scientist of Nikola Science and Technology Industry Research Institute and professor of Yanshan University, introducedCompared with the lithium-ion batteries that are currently widely used, the raw materials of sodium-ion batteries are abundant, and after large-scale productionThe cost will be reduced to less than 50% of that of lithium-ion batteriesIt also shows significant advantages in terms of safety and has good application prospects in new energy storage.
