Construction of China Chemical Engineering’s Demonstration Project for Carbon-Based High-Performance Materials Industry Begins

Thread Content

Recently, the groundbreaking ceremony for China’s Chemical Engineering Carbon-Based High-Performance Materials Industry Demonstration Project was held in Hefei. As one of the first projects on the initial list for the Central Enterprise Science and Technology Achievements Application and Expansion Project, this initiative represents the first industrial application in China of the graphene continuous vapor-phase synthesis technology developed by the affiliated Donghua Company. The project is located in the Xinzhan Chemical Industry Park in Hefei, covering an area of 49.43 mu. The first phase of the project includes the construction of an industrial demonstration production line for the gas-phase synthesis of graphene powder at a capacity of 200 tons per year, along with the production of 4,000 tons per year of graphene-functionalized slurries. Additional facilities such as a comprehensive building, warehouses for finished products and raw materials, and various supporting infrastructure are also included. As the \"king of new materials,\" graphene exhibits excellent properties in various aspects such as electricity, mechanics, thermology, and optics, and it holds great potential for application in fields such as new energy, electronic information, biomedicine, and building materials. Donghua’s continuous vapor-phase synthesis technology for graphene has successfully solved the challenges faced by this industry, enabling the mass production of graphene in a manner that ensures \"high quality, low cost, and large-scale production.\" It will serve as a key technology to drive transformation in China’s graphene industry. Currently, Donghua Company is focused on building an industrial ecosystem characterized by coordinated development across upstream and downstream sectors. Its case study titled \"Led by Chain Leaders, Built Together through Collaboration: Innovative Practices in the Graphene Industry Ecosystem Developed via Vapor Synthesis\" was selected as an outstanding example of innovation in central state-owned enterprise supply chains for the year 2025. The \"graphene-based anti-corrosion coating produced through vapor synthesis\" was included in the list of scientific and technological innovation achievements recommended by central state-owned enterprises. Next, China Chemical Engineering will accelerate the development of downstream application areas for graphene materials, and make every effort to build an internationally competitive industrial base for carbon-based new materials, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of China’s new materials industry.
