Raw materials for electrolytes & new functional materials
Smoothway adopts differentiated leading technologies such as a solid catalyst without separation, disproportionation reaction with adjustable by-product proportion, and heat pump distillation with low energy consumption.
Smoothway adopts differentiated leading technologies such as new ionic liquid catalysts, a safety instrument system at the SIL2 level, and heat pump distillation with low energy consumption. The location is rich in raw materials, with a CO2 pipeline supply, and the water transport terminal provides access to rivers and the sea.
Smoothway adopts a mature and reliable process route of the hydrogen fluoride solvent method, and uses the largest single synthesis reactor in China at present to increase the output of a single batch. At the same time, the reaction conditions are milder and easier to control, enabling continuous production, and the final product has a high purity.
Smoothway adopts a mature and reliable process route of the hydrogen fluoride solvent method. The raw materials are easily accessible, the product quality is high, the process route is relatively simple, the process equipment scheme is mature, the generation of the three wastes is relatively small, and the energy demand is not large.
Smoothway adopts the latest process for DTD, which has a high degree of automation and an independent safety instrument system. In the refining process, differentiated refining technology is applied, which can increase the yield, reduce the amount of solvent recovery, and lower the environmental protection risks.
Smoothway’s synthesis process has a high atomic utilization rate. The distillation system features a special design and a high degree of automation, which can effectively improve the product purity and enhance the product consistency.
Smoothway’s LiFSI project adopts a unique sulfuryl fluoride process, which has atomic economy. It can achieve the linkage between the by-product sodium fluoride and sulfuryl fluoride, further reducing costs and environmental hazards. Currently, the project is being promoted at the Hefei base. Once the product reaches its production capacity, it will further increase our company’s self-sufficiency rate of raw materials.
The LiODFB project adopts a domestically original synthesis route. Smoothway is not yet in a position to disclose it during the patent application stage. After the new route is adopted for ODFB, it can increase the comprehensive yield by nearly ten percentage points, effectively reducing costs. At present, it has been recognized by leading global manufacturers.
Through the layout of multiple base laboratories and production lines, Smoothway has completed the entire development process of new additives, ranging from small-scale tests, pilot-scale tests to industrial installations. It can keep track of the latest additive technologies at the forefront of the industry and develop targeted additives according to customer needs. At present, a number of products have entered small-batch commercial supply, covering new additives for high-voltage lithium batteries, high tap density lithium batteries, etc., as well as a variety of new additives widely used in sodium batteries.
Smoothway’s products significantly improve the infiltration speed of thick lithium iron phosphate electrodes (with a surface density greater than 400 g/m²), increase production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance the cycling and storage performance of large-scale energy storage batteries.
