First-class enterprises make standards. Formulated domestic and foreign carbon nanotube slurry industry standards, the largest domestic carbon nanotube production enterprise, has more than 20 invention patents...... These shining aura make Jiangsu tiannai Science and Technology Co., Ltd. a well-deserved "first-class" in the industry ". As the first enterprise listed on the scientific innovation board in our city, tiannai won the "Mengxi award" of scientific and technological innovation at the recent conference of the city's strong industrial market ".
Entering the laboratory and workshop of tiannai technology gives people the most intuitive feeling of "technological innovation". As an enterprise mainly engaged in research and development, production and sales of nanoscale carbon materials and related products, the carbon nanotubes independently developed by tiannai technology are called "The King of nanomaterials", "Because it has a more unique structure and excellent performance." Cai yonglue, deputy general manager and chief financial officer of Jiangsu tiannai Technology Co., Ltd, introduced.
As early as 29 years ago, Japanese scientists first discovered carbon nanotubes. Due to the failure to find the appropriate industrialization technology and path, the breakthrough in the practical application field of materials has not been effectively commercialized. "We cooperated with colleges and universities to form a research and development team. After numerous experiments, we finally mastered the preparation technology of carbon nanotubes." Cai yonglue said that the diameter, length and purity of carbon nanotubes are the three core indexes to control the technology. After overcoming the three major problems, the Enterprise finally realized the mass production of carbon nanotubes, therefore, it has the carbon content purification patent and proprietary technology of carbon nanotubes. And all this, tiannai technology only took 10 years.
Nowadays, carbon nano-tube powder, carbon nano-tube conductive paste, graphene composite conductive paste, carbon nano-tube conductive masterbatch and so on are the main products of Tenet Technology. Cai yonglue introduced that last year, the enterprise produced 10,000 tons of carbon nanotube conductive paste with revenue of 0.38 billion yuan and net profit of about 0.11 billion yuan. "90% of the products of tiannai technology are applied in the field of lithium batteries. In the field of conductive plastics, conductive plastic masterbatches have entered the stage of actual sales and supply." In addition, tiannai technology also extends its products to the chip field, and the company's high-purity carbon nanotube products have begun sample testing. "We continue to explore prospective research and update our products every two years."
Talent reserve, technology research and development, laboratory construction and so on are necessary for Enterprise's scientific and technological innovation, and are also the magic weapon for tiannai's scientific and technological success. However, the road of research and development is not smooth sailing. "The initial stage of research and development is still very difficult." Zhong Guoxing, the R & D engineer of tiannai technology, introduced that the process of products from scratch requires countless explorations and experiments, and experience should be summed up from failures. What is tested is not only technology but also effort.
The municipal science and technology department has always accompanied the growth of tiannai science and technology. The Municipal Science and Technology Bureau provides enterprises with all-round and "hands-on" services in terms of high-tech enterprise identification, scientific research platform construction and scientific and technological project declaration. In 2012, tiannai science and technology received 8 million yuan from the provincial Special Fund project for scientific and technological achievements transformation; In 2016, Jiangsu carbon nanomaterials engineering technology research center was established; In 2019, another 12 million yuan was supported by the provincial special fund for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. At the critical moment of scientific and technological research and development of enterprises, policy and financial support have been brought in, further injecting new vitality into the development of enterprises.
Phoenix Nirvana. With the in-depth research on carbon nanotubes by researchers, the product has finally come out and been mass produced, and its application fields are becoming wider and wider. "The market has higher and higher requirements for product performance. Today, we have developed the third generation of products." Zhong Guoxing introduced that on the basis of the second generation, the third generation of products further improved the aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes to improve their conductivity. That is to say, the diameter of carbon nanotubes is finer, the purity is higher, and the electrical conductivity is better.
"The third generation of products are more in line with the requirements of high energy density of lithium batteries in the future, and can be applied to new energy vehicles in the future to realize fast charging and discharge, thus enabling lithium batteries to have a high cycle service life." Zhong Guoxing introduced that foreign media reported recently that Tesla had successfully applied for 4,000 charge and discharge patents and set the life target of the battery pack as 1.6 million kilometers. In this way, the battery pack can be used for at least 10 years. Calculated by charging and discharging once a day, 365 times a year, 3650 times in 10 years. If this goal can be achieved, the service life of new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles will be almost the same. "Even if the subsidy policy of new energy vehicles is canceled in the future, there will be enough cost performance and traditional fuel vehicles divided into markets."
Cai yonglue said frankly that nowadays, all countries in the world are vigorously developing the new energy automobile industry. The demand for terminals such as 5G mobile phones, smart wearable devices and unmanned aerial vehicles is also increasing, and the market of carbon nanotube conductive paste is huge. As antistatic and electromagnetic shielding materials, conductive plastics have a promising market prospect. "The company will be deeply engaged in the field of lithium battery, increasing market share while continuously increasing research and development investment, carrying out technological innovation, continuously exploring the application of carbon nanotube products in other fields, and serving the national new material strategy, the acceleration of running out of the strong industrial market."
