Henan KeLaiWei New Material Co., Ltd. Shines at CIBF 2026

At the highly anticipated 16th China International Battery Fair (CIBF 2026) , Henan KeLaiWei New Material Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "KeLaiWei" ) showcased its core products — Whisker Carbon Nanotubes and Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes . The company demonstrated its technological progress and industrial achievements in the field of high-end nanocarbon materials, emerging as a notable battery material supplier at the event.

CIBF is one of the world's largest and most influential professional exhibitions for the battery industry, bringing together global battery industry chain companies, technical experts, and end-user customers. It serves as a vital platform for showcasing cutting-edge technologies, identifying industry trends, and expanding international cooperation.

One of China's First Enterprises to Achieve Mass Production of Whisker Carbon Nanotubes

Mr. Wu Shaojun, General Manager of KeLaiWei, shared during an on-site interview: "KeLaiWei was founded in 2018 as a high-tech enterprise jointly established by the Dengcao Group (Zhengzhou) and the research team of Professor Sun Xiaogang from Nanchang University. We are recognized as a 'Specialized and Sophisticated SME' and an 'Intellectual Property Advantage Enterprise' in Henan Province. We also host the Henan Provincial Engineering Research Center for Carbon Nanotubes and serve as a postgraduate internship base for Zhengzhou University and Zhejiang University."

He further noted: "We are one of the first enterprises in China to achieve large-scale production of whisker carbon nanotubes, with a designed annual capacity of 300 tons. Our core products are widely used in new energy power batteries, energy storage systems, and military electronics, providing high-performance conductive material solutions — particularly for high-power batteries and solid-state batteries. The 'KeLaiWei' brand represents our years of dedication and commitment to high-end nanocarbon materials."

Strong Technological Foundation, Effectively Addressing Industry Challenges

Regarding product advantages, Mr. Wu stated: "KeLaiWei holds proprietary large-scale production technology for whisker carbon nanotubes, with a total of 74 patents, including 36 invention patents and 3 PCT international patents. We have independently developed China’s first domestic set of production equipment for whisker carbon nanotubes. Our products feature high purity, high strength, and excellent dispersibility, effectively solving the common industry problems of agglomeration and difficult slurry preparation associated with conventional carbon nanotubes, while significantly improving battery conductivity."

He added: "Our products currently hold a 70% market share in the sulfide solid-state battery sector. Our single-wall carbon nanotubes under development have achieved performance levels comparable to international advanced standards, with pilot-scale production already reaching the kilogram level, providing critical support for next-generation high-rate and high-energy-density batteries."

Differentiated Positioning and Continuous Innovation as Core Competitiveness

In response to intense market competition, Mr. Wu shared KeLaiWei's development strategy: "We do not engage in price wars for low-end carbon nanotube conductive agents. Instead, we focus on high-end segments such as whisker carbon nanotubes and single-wall carbon nanotubes, strategically positioning ourselves for future directions like solid-state and high-rate power batteries. From R&D initiation in 2017, to securing ton-level orders in 2020, to achieving mass production of single-wall carbon nanotubes in 2023 — every step has followed the technology upgrade rhythm of the battery industry."

He emphasized: "We are committed to a customer-centric approach. Through stable product performance, customized solutions, and responsive service, we have built long-term partnerships with quality upstream and downstream customers. For example, we hold a 70% market share in the solid-state battery sector, and our energy-saving ultra-low magnesia-carbon bricks developed in collaboration with Wuhan University of Science and Technology have successfully replaced imported alternatives."

Brand as a Core Asset and a Business Card on the International Stage

On the importance of branding, Mr. Wu said: "The KeLaiWei brand is built not through advertising, but through the proven performance of every batch of products in real customer applications. We actively respond to the national 'Brand Power' strategy, adhering to the principles of 'building the brand with technology, shaping it with quality, and reinforcing it with culture.' Our goal is to establish a national brand with independent intellectual property rights, strengthen the reputation of 'KeLaiWei' in the field of high-end carbon nanotube conductive materials, and help China's high-end carbon materials brand gain greater recognition on the global battery industry stage."

Looking Forward to CIBF for Global Collaboration and Technological Advancement

As a representative of the battery material industry, Mr. Wu expressed his expectations for CIBF: "We look forward to engaging in in-depth discussions with industry peers and upstream/downstream customers at the fair, exploring technological innovation directions for high-end carbon nanotubes in power batteries and solid-state batteries. We also hope to introduce more domestic and international customers to KeLaiWei's technological achievements, demonstrating the technical confidence of China's high-end carbon material enterprises. We are eager to partner with more industry players to promote the large-scale application of domestically developed high-end carbon nanotubes, contribute to the high-quality development of China's battery industry chain, and support the national 'dual carbon' strategy."
