"If new energy alternatives to lithium are not developed, the New energy Fund industry may face a passive situation and even be maliciously constrained." On December 25, 2024, Hubei Rongtong High-tech Advanced Materials Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Rongtong High-tech') held a mass production discussion for Cathode Material of Sodium-ion Batteries, discussing solutions to technical challenges of mass production. In November 2024, Rongtong High-tech was recognized as the phosphate-type Cathode Material Engineering Research Center of Hubei Province, focusing on the research and application of Cathode Material for Sodium-ion Batteries, achieving breakthrough progress in this forward-looking layout. "Currently, most companies engaged in phosphate-type Sodium-ion Batteries Cathode Material are in the pilot program stage, and we will be the first in the country capable of producing Cathode Material for Sodium-ion Batteries at a kiloton level," said He Zhonglin, Chairman of Rongtong High-tech. The products have passed tests from leading domestic energy storage and power companies such as BYD, and mass production of kiloton-level "Sodium-ion Batteries" will begin in January 2025.
