On 9 Sept., 2016, Chint Group held a press
conference for its “Grabat” graphene technology application in Hangzhou City,
Zhejiang Province. At the conference, Chint Group and the team from Grabat
Energy, S.L. (Grabat Energy) jointly presented several technology application
resolutions of graphene polymer Li-ion battery, with fields covering aviation,
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), coating, motorcycle, motorboat and cement.

It is known that the graphene polymer Li-ion battery is about 80% lighter in
weight and about 67% smaller in size than the traditional Li-ion battery.
In the meanwhile, Li Yichun, secretary general of the China Innovation Alliance
of the Graphene Industry commented that China boasts a huge market for graphene
application that the bursting point will be anticipated in 2018 and the total
revenue of domestic graphene industry in 2020 may exceed USD14.97 billion
(RMB100 billion).
As a new material for energy storage battery, graphene possesses unique
advantage and huge potential in various applications as super capacitor, Li-ion
battery and solar battery.
As a result, based on its industrial development demand and global economic
trend, Chint Group stepped into the graphene market in 2014, and carried out a
series of activities. It acquired Shanghai Simbatt Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
in Dec. 2014, and established a joint laboratory with the Shanghai Institute of
Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, for the
development of downstream application based on graphene powder.
Deepening the research and development, Chint Group established a business
department of energy storage / power battery, focusing on the technology
development of graphene energy storage / power battery. In early 2016, Chint
Group has forged cooperation with Graphenano Technologies S.L. (Graphenano
Technologies) and took shares in Grabat Energy, part of Graphenano
Technologies, to jointly carry out R&D of high performance graphene
battery.
Chint Group, as a leading enterprise in power equipment manufacturing and
photovoltaic alternative energy industry, has constructed over 200 photovoltaic
power stations globally with a total installed capacity of 2.4 GW. Moreover,
Chint Group has launched its strategic guideline of “leaping development to
energy internet service enterprise”, aiming to build a comprehensive service
platform for energy development, manufacturing, transmission, placement and utilization.
As revealed by Nan Cunhui, the president of Chint Group, energy storage is one
of the critical links in constructing energy internet. The technology of energy
storage battery is critical in tackling the problem of large-scale development
and utilization of alternative energy, and also significant in composing smart
power grids. Consequently, vigorous promotion of graphene application and
R&D can be far-reaching for the company.
