"Struggle enables high-quality development" series reports | Geng Chi: Driving development with innovation and opening up the future with hard work

Lead: In order to strengthen the brand, in recent years, Changsha Dayle New Material Technology Co., LTD. (Dayle) firmly implemented the development strategy of "developing innovation-led new material products around new energy (photohydrogen storage), semiconductor and consumer electronics industries", and actively promoted the development of diversified business while based on the basic disk of diamond wire. In this process, the person in charge of each business segment of Dailer New Materials and their team's struggle spirit of "not afraid of difficulties" and "facing difficulties" have jointly created a monument of Dailer, inspiring people to work together to jointly empower Dailer high-quality development.

Under the strategic goal of reaching the peak of carbon and carbon neutrality, the proportion of renewable energy will continue to increase in the future, and how to develop new energy and store new energy power is the key to the high-quality development of new energy.

In the field of hydrogen energy, hydrogen fuel cells are used as power to drive new energy vehicles such as light trucks, heavy trucks and passenger cars on the road. In the field of energy storage, flow batteries, as the basic components of energy storage stations, play an important role in efficiently storing electricity and helping the power grid regulate flow. As an essential component of hydrogen fuel cells and flow batteries, bipolar plates have become a key technology affecting new quality productivity and high-quality development of new energy since their birth.

Hunan Gechi New Energy Technology Co., LTD., founded in 2020, is a national high-tech enterprise with shares of Dailer New Materials. The company focuses on the research and development, production and sales of advanced carbon composite materials and powder molding products, and the main products are high-performance carbon-based composite bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells and flow batteries. As a pioneer in the field of domestic bipolar plate production, the new energy to innovate driven, to work hard to expand the future, since the second half of 2023, the team leader led members in the research and development end, the test end, the system end has made a number of progress, for the acceleration of industrialization landing.

Intellectual property is a magic weapon for the survival of enterprises, as early as the product research and development stage, the new energy team will evaluate the patentability of technology and market application prospects, adhering to the "patent first, advance layout" thinking, has applied for a number of product technology patents. In recent years, with the improvement of the research and development management system, the new energy has applied for more than 20 invention patents and utility model patents, and gradually built a perfect intellectual property system, with the system to build a "firewall", significantly reduce the risk of infringement, to ensure that their own innovation results get due return.

In the product development and market development process, pilot testing is a key step in the transition from sample vector production, and its core mission is to bring new products to market. Since last year, Cultivchi New Energy has successfully promoted more than 30 pilot projects by docking customer needs and analyzing customer demand parameters, providing product testing for dozens of customers, and a number of projects have been in stable supply. It is expected that in early 2025, an annual output of 4 million sets of bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells and 200,000 square meters of bipolar plates for flow batteries will be formed, accelerating the realization of industrialization goals.

In terms of quality system construction, the team has initially formed a complete pre-planning process, in which the hydrogen fuel cell bipolar plate has successfully passed the certification of international IATF16949 quality management system, the highest technical specification and quality management standard in the global automotive industry. At the same time, the team has introduced the standard into the production process of bipolar plate for flow batteries. Further improve product quality.

Since the implementation of the new material diversification strategy, Dayle has created a new development situation by tackling new technologies and developing new products. In the context of the rising proportion of new energy applications, the new energy will drive development with innovation, open up the future with hard work, and contribute to the high-quality development of Xiangjiang New Area with the brilliance of a region and a place for the high-quality development of new energy in Hunan Province.
