On the morning of November 6, 2025, witnessed by leaders including Zheng Guangquan, Secretary of the Xinyu Municipal Party Committee, and Yi Hong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Central South University, Zheng Guozhong, General Manager of Sinomine (Jiangxi) Lithium Industry Co., Ltd., and Professor He Lihua's team from the School of Metallurgy and Environment, Central South University, signed an intentional cooperation agreement on the "Key Technology Research Project for High-Purity Lithium Phosphate Preparation" at the special event of "Secretaries and Ministers Entering Campuses" held at Central South University. With university-enterprise collaborative innovation as the link, this cooperation opens a new chapter of in-depth integration of the industrial chain, talent chain and innovation chain.
As an important enterprise in China's lithium battery industry chain, Sinomine Lithium has always focused on the technological frontier of lithium battery materials. This cooperation accurately targets key issues in the field of solid-state batteries. The project is expected to take lithium sulfate solution produced by ore lithium extraction as the core lithium source, overcome the technical bottlenecks in the preparation of high-purity lithium phosphate. The product can be directly used as an additive for solid-state battery electrolytes, achieving the dual breakthrough of "cost reduction and efficiency improvement" and "purity upgrading", and providing core support for the performance iteration of new energy batteries. This technological innovation not only aligns with Xinyu City's development layout of supplementing and strengthening the lithium battery industry chain, but also fills the gap in the industry in large-scale production of low-cost and high-purity lithium phosphate, demonstrating the enterprise's responsibility to drive industrial upgrading through technological innovation.
This signing is an important milestone for Sinomine Lithium to deepen university-enterprise cooperation. As a top university in the field of metallurgy and materials in China, Central South University has strong scientific research strength and talent reserves. Professor He Lihua's team has profound accumulation in the field of efficient utilization of lithium resources, forming a strong complementarity with the enterprise's industrial advantages. By establishing a collaborative mechanism of "university scientific research + enterprise transformation", it not only builds an industrialization platform for university scientific research achievements, but also injects cutting-edge technology and high-end talent momentum into the enterprise, interpreting the development logic of "attracting talents through industry and promoting industry through talents".
Looking forward to the future, taking this cooperation as an opportunity, Sinomine Lithium will continue to deepen the construction of a government-university-enterprise collaborative innovation ecosystem. Relying on Xinyu City's policy dividends of "intelligent transformation and digital transformation" and industrial cluster advantages, it will focus on tackling key core technologies of new lithium battery materials, strive to build a modern industrial benchmark with leading technology, green and low carbon, and write a win-win answer sheet for university-enterprise cooperation in the wave of new energy industry transformation.
