On August 7, 2024, the 2024 Gaogong New Energy and New Materials Industry Conference with the theme of "New Batteries, New Materials, New Directions" hosted by Gaogong Lithium Battery was successfully held in the Semiconductor Materials Industry Functional Zone of Tianfu New District, Qionglai City, Sichuan Province.
This conference is a top industry event for the lithium battery material supply chain under Gaogong Lithium Battery. It attracted more than 100 heavyweight companies in the subdivided fields and more than 300 senior executives from the lithium battery industry chain. Upstream and downstream companies in the industry chain conducted technical exchanges and new product demonstrations on site. The Gaogong Industry Research Institute (GGII) New Energy Materials Industry Report was also released here simultaneously. Senior executives gathered in Qionglai to discuss industrial development.
Zhu Kaixing, deputy general manager and secretary of the board of directors of KOTA Technology, attended the conference on behalf of the company and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Vacuum Coating Convergence and Progress".
Zhu Kaixing pointed out that with the high cost of copper materials and the trend of reducing costs and improving efficiency of power batteries, composite copper foil has obvious advantages and can open up a cost reduction channel for the industry. Comparing the three current preparation methods of composite copper foil, in terms of yield, the one-step method is better than the two-step method, and the two-step method is better than the three-step method; in terms of cost, the one-step method also has significant advantages.
As the company to master and adopt the "one-step all-dry method" process route, KOTA Technology has a complete product matrix. Its main products include: vacuum magnetron sputtering coating machine (can coat metal materials on both sides), vacuum evaporation coating machine (can coat aluminum on both sides), vacuum magnetron sputtering evaporation composite coating machine (can coat copper and aluminum on both sides).
The advantages of KOTA Technology's vacuum coating equipment are: 1. A breakthrough in core key technologies. 2. Physical anti-oxidation treatment, no water treatment costs. 3. It can achieve double-sided 1-micron coating at the same time, without the need to transport the film between multiple devices, and the process is simple. 4. The modular design in the country, the number of coating modules can be increased or decreased according to site and production capacity requirements. 5. Higher sputtering efficiency, 32 targets, extremely high sputtering efficiency. 6. All operate in a vacuum environment, no need to operate in chemical solvents, more environmentally friendly.
KOTA Technology will also continue to increase R&D investment in the field of vacuum coating, and provide customers with vacuum coating equipment with stronger performance advantages and lower costs. We will work together with our peers to share open opportunities, create a better future, and promote the high-quality development of the new energy battery materials industry!
