KELAIWEI company has invested 0.55 billion yuan to carry out deep cooperation with the research and development team led by Professor Sun Xiaogang of Nanchang University in China for a long time. And invested 0.45 billion yuan successively in Henan to build the first phase of whisker carbon nano-tube powder project and the second phase of whisker carbon nano-tube powder project, which made the production capacity of whisker carbon nano-tube powder of Henan KELAIWEI nano-Carbon Material Co., Ltd achieve qualitative improvement, up to 300 tons/year.
What is nano carbon fiber? Carbon nanofibers are a new type of nanomaterials. Nanometer carbon fiber has rich characteristics: light mass low density, large aspect ratio (100 nm -500 nm), diameter 50 nm -200 nm, stable and strong electrical conductivity, etc, moreover, the production cost is much lower than that of carbon nanotube materials, which is easier to be manufactured in batches and has higher output.
In 2018, Henan KELAIWEI Nano Carbon Material Co., Ltd. was successfully established in Dengfeng with a registered capital of 60 million RMB. Henan KELAIWEI has an independent factory area of 13,000 square meters, planning dozens of production lines. By virtue of the 6S lean management law, all functional departments of our company are guaranteed to work scientifically and orderly and innovate actively. As of March 2020, our company has applied for 60 patents.
The Engineering Project Department of Henan KELAIWEI Nano Carbon Material Co., Ltd. started "big things" again ". KELAIWEI company is expected to allocate 0.45 billion yuan to carry out large-scale capacity expansion construction of Dengfeng production base. According to the engineering design, this construction will increase the production capacity of KELAIWEI whisker carbon nanotube powder project at double speed, rapidly reaching the scale of annual production capacity of 500 tons.
Improving energy density is the current difficulty and pain point of lithium ion battery. Compared with granular conductive agent, whisker carbon nanotubes is a kind of fibrous conductive agent, which can reduce the addition amount of conductive agent. Due to the flexibility of whisker carbon nanotubes, it can reduce the additive amount of the adhesive. Compared with the complete use of granular conductive agent, the amount of the adhesive can be reduced by 0.5~1.0% by whisker carbon nanotubes. By reducing the adhesive, the proportion of the positive electrode material can be increased, the energy density of the battery is improved.
A far-infrared insole manufacturing enterprise in Guangdong has a small scale and doesn't have much research and development of new products. It has long relied on a single product of far-infrared insole to survive, and has accumulated a large number of far-infrared insole customers. In order to improve the competitiveness of its products, we started to improve the material performance of the products, and the far infrared paper of our KELAIWEI company just met the current needs of customers, and finally it saved other raw materials and classified carbon nanotubes.
According to the classification of carbon nanotubes, the purity of the ultra-high purity whisker carbon nanotubes produced by Henan KELAIWEI nano-Carbon Material Co., Ltd. can reach nearly 99.99% without impurities, and its aperture can be controlled between 1 nanometer and 5 nanometer, its length can be controlled between 1 nm and 15 nm, and whisker carbon nanotubes are very suitable additives for lithium ion battery manufacturing and application.
