Sunrise New Energy, a company based in ZIBO, China, has recently unveiled a groundbreaking anode material for solid-state batteries. This new material, a porous silicon-carbon compound, is set to revolutionize electric vehicle (EV) battery technology by extending the driving range of EVs to over 1000 kilometers on a single charge.
The material boasts an impressive first charging capacity of nearly 1800mAh/g with a first coulomb efficiency of about 91%. Additionally, it demonstrates exceptional durability, capable of enduring between 1500 to 2000 charge-discharge cycles. According to Mr. Haiping Hu, the CEO of Sunrise New Energy, this development marks a significant milestone for the company and could potentially lead to longer battery life or smaller, lighter battery packs for EVs.
Sunrise New Energy operates through a joint venture and recently completed a manufacturing facility in Guizhou Province with a 50,000-ton capacity. The plant benefits from low-cost and renewable energy sources, positioning the company as a competitive producer of graphite anode material while maintaining a reduced environmental footprint.
Mr. Hu, a key figure in China’s graphite anode industry, leads a management team with extensive experience in the sector. Apart from manufacturing, Sunrise New Energy also provides a knowledge-sharing platform within China.
In recent news, the company secured a $13.76 million loan from China Construction Bank to enhance liquidity and fulfill high-demand orders quickly. Sunrise New Energy also completed a significant delivery of 5,800 tons of energy storage material to Xiamen HiTHIUM Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd., as part of a larger 25,000-ton order.
Moreover, the company launched a 24/7 live broadcast of its production operations on its website, allowing real-time monitoring of activities. The visit of Guizhou Province Governor Li Bingjun highlighted Sunrise New Energy’s commitment to innovation, cost reduction, and competitive enhancement.
With 27 granted patents out of 61 applications, Sunrise New Energy continues to innovate with advanced equipment and proprietary technologies. However, investors should be aware of the financial challenges the company faces, including a rapid depletion of cash reserves and difficulties in meeting short-term obligations with available liquid assets.
