According to a report from Sinochem New Network on May 6, the inter-regional R&D cooperation project funded by central government funds aimed at promoting local scientific and technological development, titled “Development and Industrialization of New Lithium-rich Manganese-based Cathode Materials,” which was led by Youyan New Energy Materials (Jiangxi) Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Youyan New Energy”), passed the comprehensive performance evaluation conducted by the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology and was rated as excellent. According to expert evaluation, the main achievements of this project are reflected in four aspects: First, a production line capable of manufacturing 3,000 tons per year of lithium-enriched manganese-based materials, along with a \"piped-type\" automated pilot-scale synthesis line, was established. By innovatively applying \"piped-type synthesis\" technology, controlled nucleation and growth of multi-element manganese-based hydroxide precursors were achieved. A complete set of preparation technologies covering material design, in-situ doping modification, surface modification, and the synthesis of lithium-enriched manganese-based materials was developed. Two products were designed, and small-scale production, sales, as well as demonstration and promotion were carried out ； Second, establish a **Joint Laboratory for New Battery Materials at the Power Battery Innovation Center** ； Thirdly, it helped the company’s “Project for Producing 10,000 tons per year of new types of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries” be selected as one of Jiangxi Province’s top 10 typical cases of technology transfer achievements in 2025 ； Fourth, fiscal funds are deposited in a timely manner, used for their designated purposes, with reasonable expenditures and standardized usage, ensuring strict compliance with the requirements for fund management. According to Xu Jingjie, deputy general manager of Youyan New Energy, in June 2024, Youyan New Energy was appointed as the leading entity to undertake this project, with support from organizations such as the United Nations Research Institute on Automotive Battery Technologies, Jiangxi Ganfeng Recycling Technology, and Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Battery Technology, all of which contributed to the research efforts. Next, Yoyan New Energy will continue to strengthen collaboration between the central and local governments, focus on the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, establish a proof-of-concept platform for key industry-wide technologies, accelerate the industrialization of lithium-rich materials, and strive to achieve an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons by 2027, thereby promoting the market application of lithium-rich manganese-based materials in small power batteries and automotive power batteries.
