· Green Innovation Model - Continuous Graphitization Technology

Artificial graphite, as the core category of lithium battery anode materials, has always attracted much attention in the industry for its safety, environmental friendliness and efficient production. Due to the problems such as stable operation of equipment under high-temperature conditions and continuous material circulation, the industry usually adopts intermittent production methods. Wanhua Battery Company, relying on its extensive safety management experience in large-scale chemical industries and its technological innovation capabilities, has developed continuous graphitization technology. This technology successfully overcame the bottlenecks of traditional processes, such as long reaction cycles, high energy consumption and low efficiency. The reaction time has been significantly shortened from 20 days to 20 hours. This technology achieves continuous and stable control of graphitization degree through precise coupling of current field, heat field and particle flow field. The product qualification rate is 100% for the first time, and it is also equipped with a complete process for harmless treatment of exhaust gas, reducing pollutant emissions from the source and providing a green innovation model for the industry.

Adhering to the ESG principles and driving sustainable development through diverse practices

The company has fully implemented the sustainable development strategy in terms of environment, society and governance. At the environmental level, it has established an integrated power consumption model of "wind, solar, storage, grid and production", providing low-cost and green energy guarantees for battery material production; relying on advanced technologies such as multi-stage utilization of waste heat, continuous graphitization and tail gas recovery, it improves energy utilization efficiency and achieves emission reduction and carbon reduction as well as resource recycling. At the social level, the company has established a safety management concept, process and analysis method throughout the entire life cycle, aiming for "zero injuries, zero accidents and zero emissions", and building a safety defense line. At the same time, it has improved the procurement control system for mineral raw materials, established a responsible procurement mechanism, and standardized global supply chain management. At the governance level, it adheres to compliant operation and the bottom line of integrity, improves the full-chain risk prevention and control system, complies with regulatory requirements of various regions, and with a complete compliance governance system, guarantees the high-quality, sustainable and stable development of the enterprise.

Wanhua Battery will continue to empower the green transformation through technological innovation, collaborate with all stakeholders to build a sustainable ecosystem, and strive to become the industry's top innovation officer, establishing itself as the global leader in battery materials, allowing humanity to enjoy green energy!
