The world’s most powerful battery competition leader is also inseparable from NMP solvent supply! | ZOLSEM

Although NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) solvent is small and light in weight, it is an indispensable “screw” in the production of lithium-ion batteries. In 2022, both domestic and overseas battery manufacturing companies are all vying for the leading position of the world’s most powerful battery manufacturing companies! So can we leave NMP aside to manufacture energy storage batteries and power batteries? Scientists have studied several solvents, and finally agreed that NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) solvent and lithium-ion battery are the best partners! So obviously, no matter where the brand wants to produce energy storage batteries and power batteries, it needs to purchase electronic-grade NMP solvents for battery manufacturing when there is no other more suitable solvent. WIT FENGZE & ZESHENG, which has been specializing in the production and supplying of NMP solvents for more than 10 years, just meets the market demand and looks forward to cooperating with more battery brands to contribute our value to the new energy industry.

As follow I collect some information about it, which are the leaders who have the strength to compete for the leading position of the world’s powerful battery manufacturing companies, and they will have a new action in the near future to shine in their respective fields.

[One of the outstanding leaders: Porsche, which is acquiring a stake in Group14 Technologies in the United States]

Porsche sports cars are the “beautiful girls” in many men’s heart, and most of them want to own it. And Porsche is also one of the leaders that has the strength to compete for the leadership of the world’s most powerful battery manufacturing companies. Porsche is now advancing its ambitions to develop and manufacture high-performance batteries, one of which is the acquisition of a stake in Woodinville, Washington-based Group14 Technologies, a maker of advanced silicon-carbon technology for lithium-ion batteries.

With the blessing of capital, Group14 hopes to accelerate the global production and supply of its lithium-ion battery anode materials. This goal coincides with WIT FENGZE & ZESHENG. All our energy is devoted to the production and supply of NMP solvent and NMP waste gas recovery system, and we look forward to providing industry solutions for global NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) demanders.

It is understood that Group14 will also supply the Cellforce Group in Tübingen in the future, and Cellforce was founded by Porsche and Customcells Holding in 2021. “From 2024, the joint venture hopes to produce self-developed high-performance silicon anode cells in Germany for use in low-volume, racing and high-performance vehicles. Cellforce cells are expected to be used in electric Porsche cars with high-performance powertrains.” Group14 and The combination of Cellforce means that the next set of battery cells in the future will be more powerful than existing lithium-ion batteries. So it’s clear that Porsche will be the leader in the competition for the leadership of the world’s most powerful battery-manufacturing company.

【Volvo Trucks are leading the market both in Europe and North America and will open a battery factory in Belgium】

Unlike Porsche’s sports car segment, Volvo specialises in the truck range. After the rise of the new energy industry holding the banner of environmental protection, major automobile companies have opened energy storage battery or power battery factories, and the production line has also changed from specializing in fuel vehicles to electric vehicles + fuel vehicles, and some companies directly cancel the fuel production line.  Volvo, the leader in trucks, also has this plan. “By 2030, at least 50% of all trucks we sell globally will be electric and by 2040, we will be a carbon-neutral company.”

On May 17, 2022, Volvo Trucks opened a battery factory in Ghent, Belgium, with plans to supply ready-to-use batteries for Volvo’s all-electric heavy-duty trucks. It is understood that Volvo truck batteries are specially designed to be remanufactured, refurbished and reused. The factory itself is also powered by 100% renewable energy, which is in line with the environmental protection standards of the new energy industry. This recycling design of Volvo Trucks is the same design concept as WIT FENGZE & ZESHENG’s NMP waste gas recovery system, and then refine to electronic grade NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) solvent for use in battery plants. Resource recycling, environmental protection and conservation are the consistent goals of our new energy industry.

The editor believes that not only Porsche, Volvo, BYD and other brands are competing for the leading position of the world’s powerful battery manufacturing companies, but more companies are quietly making arrangements. We will wait and see who will be the most powerful leading company in battery manufacturing. The editor will continue to pay attention to and comprehensively organize new information for you. However, the production of lithium-ion batteries by major battery factories is inseparable from the procurement of “screw” NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) solvents. WIT FENGZE & ZESHENG have strong production capacity, and there are big stock for NMP for you. We are looking forward to your  participation.
