进入2025年以来，Williamhill威廉希尔能源先后获得超1.4万吨硫酸铁钠正极材料订单，成为业内推动钠离子电池产业化进程的中坚力量。位于镇江的里钠能源正极材料量产基地，正持续稳定地向包括派能科技、懋略、海四达钠星在内的多家客户批量出货。在这一产业化突破的关键节点，我们与镇江里钠核心团队展开深度对话，探寻其订单爆发背后的技术逻辑与产业密码。

Inside a 300-meter enclosed pipeline, industrial waste transforms into high-performance battery cathode material. Outside, over 14,000 tons of NFS cathode material orders accelerate sodium-ion battery industrialization.

Since 2025, Zoolnasm has secured NFS cathode material orders exceeding 14,000 tons, driving sodium-ion battery industrialization. At its Zhenjiang facility, Liolnasm's production base steadily supplies bulk shipments to clients like Pylontech, Morlus, and Highstar. In this context, we interviewed Liolnasm's core team to uncover the technological and industry insights behind the order surge.

Chen Yu, Technical Director of Liolnasm: Focus on the NFS Pathway to Build First-Mover Advantage

"We were the earliest company to advance the industrialization of  NFS batteries in the industry. As far back as January 2021 when Zoolnasm was founded, we committed to the NFS pathway—then considered highly niche. By 2024, driven by lithium carbonate costs, lithium battery capacity, and market conditions, Polyanion pathway like NFS and NFPP gained industry focus for their low cost and long-cycle advantages. In the industrialization of  NFS batteries, we possess solid technical accumulation and first-mover advantage."

Ran Buxuan, Production Director of Liolnasm: Innovating Mass Production for Sustainable Development

"Our core raw materials are ferrous sulfate (FeSO₄) and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) – recycled solid waste. As the industry’s sole company achieving 3,000-ton annual capacity for NFS cathode material, Liolnasm’s engineering team integrates full-solid-state premixing and low-temperature sintering. This slashes energy consumption to below 70% in key processes of the industry average and enables zero-waste discharge with near-100% material utilization. In the full production flow, once raw materials enter the mixing tank, all subsequent processes operate automatically within enclosed pipelines. The sequence includes mixing, sintering, drying, packaging, and requires approximately three days, after which finished cathode material becomes shipment-ready. The waste-to-value transformation of raw materials, combined with our low-carbon, eco-friendly production, delivers significant cost advantages and ongoing cost-reduction potential for NFS batteries."

Wang Zhennan, Quality Manager of Liolnasm: Full-Life-Cycle Quality Management Ensures Stability

" In early 2024, we obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification from Huaxia Certification Center. We now demonstrate effectiveness in key areas including process control, risk management, continuous improvement and customer satisfaction metrics. Concurrently, through proprietary equipment development iterations, product performance continuously elevates while maintaining stable quality.Our quality control spans the entire life-cycle includes: raw material inspection, in-process monitoring, semi-finished testing, finished product validation and post-sale customer tracking. This ensures end-to-end quality control from source to terminal, establishing a solid foundation for delivering superior products to the market and sustaining our industry-leading quality position."

Zhao Jiuling, General Manager of Liolnasm: East-West Capacity Synergy Ensures Delivery

"Responding to surging market demand, we launched the Meishan Liolnasm cathode material production base in April 2025. Phase 1 trial production will commence by December 2025 as scheduled. The site will deliver 30,000-ton annual NFS cathode material capacity when fully constructed. This synergizes with our existing Zhenjiang base – creating complementary east-west operations that establish a nationwide supply network which will significantly shorten current supply radii and accelerate response times.

At Liolnasm’s Zhenjiang production line, over 300 meters of enclosed pipelines operate in sync with construction cranes at the Meishan site. In last four years, Zoolnasm’s team has evolved from a lone-warrior in sodium battery technology to the standard-bearer driving sodium-ion battery industrialization. The NFS route, once met with skepticism, has now gained definitive market validation through multi-thousand-ton customer orders.Moving forward, Zoolnasm will continue executing its strategy with "Focus on NFS Pathway, Advance on Four Fronts" by deepening NFS technological development, and building full-stack expertise, establishing full-chain production, validating full-range scenarios, expanding global market exploration. Through partnerships with premium industry players, we will contribute China's sodium-ion battery solution to the global energy transition.
