November 16-17, 2026, Gucheng, Xiangyang, Hubei.

When the Yifu Intelligent Hubei New Industrial Park was officially put into operation, the topic of the forum also shifted from single material innovation to the synergistic efficiency of the three chains of "phosphorus-lithium-iron". When lithium iron phosphate returns to the dual main lines of power and energy storage, and high-pressure products begin to command high-end premiums, what the industry really lacks is not production capacity, but a clear judgment on the bottom of the cycle, process windows, and the pace of overseas expansion.

At this point, we invited a practical manager who has been on the front line of the phosphorus cycle all year round and is in charge of both the supply chain and the operating cost - Luo Dan, executive deputy general manager of the operating department of the Phosphorus Business Department of Zhongwei New Materials Co., Ltd.Officially confirmed to attend the 2026 New Energy and New Materials Industry Development Forum and Yifu Intelligent Hubei New Industrial Park Relocation Celebration, and will bring a keynote report"Phosphate-lithium synergy, breakthrough and advancement: iron phosphate and lithium iron phosphate industry supply and demand, technology iteration and medium- and long-term prospects". From the tight balance of iron phosphate precursors to the measurement and testing rhythm of fourth/fifth generation high-pressure iron lithium, he brought a "living method" in the asset-heavy and strong cycle track to the Gucheng site.

The operator who sees through the phosphorus cycle and breaks through the cost of iron and lithium

Luo Dan is currently the executive deputy general manager of the operation department of Zhongwei New Materials Phosphorus Business Unit. He has long been deeply involved in the entire chain of phosphorus chemicals and new energy materials, and coordinates the phosphorus business supply chain, marketing and cross-base collaboration.With his participation and promotion, Zhongwei Phosphorus Department completed the integrated layout of "phosphate rock - phosphoric acid - iron phosphate - lithium iron phosphate": the Kaiyang base in Guizhou has built a production capacity of nearly 200,000 tons of iron phosphate and 50,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate. The export shipment volume of iron phosphate ranks among the top in the industry.

He has served as a keynote speaker at the SMM Lithium Battery Raw Materials Conference and the High-Condensation Lithium Iron Phosphate Industry Summit for many times. The topics covered "High-quality Development of Lithium Iron Phosphate and New Opportunities for Going Global", "Cycle Research and Response of the Iron Phosphate/Lithium Iron Phosphate Industry" and "Sulfur Quantity Code of New Energy". He has a systematic judgment on the four-stage cycle of "recovery-prosperity-excess-clearance". Its business perspective emphasizes three points: using the iron method/iron red method route to reduce the cost per ton, using high-pressure and grading technology to eat up high-end premiums, and using overseas bases and long-term order mechanisms to hedge domestic involution.

In-depth echo with the theme of the forum "New Energy and New Materials"

Luo Dan's report"Phosphate-lithium synergy, breakthrough and advancement: iron phosphate and lithium iron phosphate industry supply and demand, technology iteration and medium- and long-term prospects", just catches the main axis of this forum "Materials-Equipment-Systems".

The report focuses on three real issues: First, the mismatch between supply and demand - demand fluctuates on a weekly basis, and supply is released on a yearly basis. Why does each round of production expansion go too far? The second is technology iteration - from conventional compaction to four generations of products above 2.6g/cm³, and then to 2.7 g/cm³ The fifth generation pilot test, the difference is not in the formula but in the precursor morphology, sintering temperature control and particle gradation; the third is the medium and long-term variables - energy storage and AI computing power backup power demand, but the price of lithium carbonate, environmental constraints on phosphorus resources and export tariffs will simultaneously rewrite the cost curve.

For material factories, it gives the survival rule of "prioritizing cash flow and doing R&D counter-cyclically"; for battery cell factories, it reminds that the yield ceiling of high-pressure compacted iron lithium is determined by the consistency of the precursor; for equipment companies such as Yifu, it means that sanding particle size distribution, dispersion stability and atmosphere sintering uniformity are no longer auxiliary processes, but a hard threshold for whether high-pressure compacted products can be mass-produced. The last hundred meters of phosphorus-lithium synergy lies in the process reproducibility of each piece of equipment.

In the golden autumn of November, Gucheng’s new garden opens

From November 16th to 17th, the new park and forum opened simultaneously in Gucheng, Xiangyang, Hubei. This time, I heard Mr. Luo Dan make a clear account of the cycle, supply and demand, and technical routes, and also saw how Yifu's new production line uses continuous grinding and intelligent dispersion to catch the mass production pace of the fourth and fifth generations of high-pressure compacted powders. Moving is the starting point. Yifu is willing to work with hard-working people like Zhongwei toGrind the iron-lithium track thinner and run more steadily.
