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

When Yifu Intelligent Hubei New Industrial Park was officially put into operation, the forum topics also extended from "single-point material breakthrough" to full-chain collaboration of "materials-battery cells-scenarios". At a time when two-wheelers, electric motorcycles, and light logistics vehicles are accelerating their electrification, small power batteries are standing at the crossroads of "extreme cost, low-temperature safety, and long life."

This time, we invited a practical manager who has been pursuing the manganese-based route for more than 20 years and turned "self-made precursors" into a small power moat - Senior Engineer Wang Zhengwei, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Phylion Power 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"Deeply cultivate the source innovation of manganese-based materials and build a new solution for small power batteries". From manganese dissolution to the Jiang-Taylor effect, from single crystal Mn₂O₃ to lithium iron manganese phosphate prefabrication technology, he turned the manganese-based chemical formula in the laboratory into the stable operation of tens of millions of light vehicle batteries.

The source innovator who makes manganese-based "invisible champion" of small power

Wang Zhengwei, senior engineer, majored in electrochemical production technology in the Department of Applied Chemistry, Harbin Institute of Technology.With more than 30 years of experience in secondary battery R&D and technical management, he currently serves as senior vice president and chief technology officer of Phylion Power and general manager of the battery cell production research center. He is an expert in the expert database of the Ministry of Science and Technology. He has presided over or participated in a number of national 863 plans and provincial and ministerial projects. He has personally obtained 147 authorized patents (including 4 PCT international patents).

He led the construction of Phylion's "precursor-cathode-battery cell-recycling" closed loop of the entire industry chain: Phylion's subsidiary Phylion Qingyuan built a manganese-based precursor production line, the industry's first low-temperature phase inversion synthesis single crystal Mn₂O₃ route, and launched mass production capacity of manganese iron oxide, prefabricated lithium iron manganese phosphate; driving Phylion's light vehicle lithium batteries to the world for many consecutive years Leading the way in products, supporting electric two-wheelers, electric motorcycles and more than 300,000 passenger cars

Recently, the rare earth high-entropy doped lithium manganate system developed by his team has doubled the high-temperature cycle life. The manganese iron oxide precursor synthesis technology has been patented in China, Japan, South Korea and the United States, pushing China's manganese-based small power solutions to the global intellectual property highland.   

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

Dr. Wang Zhengwei's report "Deeply innovating the source of manganese-based materials and building a new solution for small power batteries" just hits the main axis of this forum of "new materials drive new scenarios".

The report starts from the source precursor design: how to use high-temperature solid phase method to achieve atomic-level uniform mixing of manganese and iron, how to use single crystal manganese trioxide to replace high-priced electrolytic manganese dioxide, and how to use rare earth high-entropy doping to suppress manganese dissolution and Jiang-Taylor distortion. These questions that seem to belong to materials science are essentially answering the same engineering proposition - how can small power batteries achieve lithium-level circulation and safety in the lead-acid price range.

For cathode factories, it provides an inclusive technology path that "does not rely on precious metals and does not take the high-end ternary route"; for battery cell factories, it clarifies front-end indicators such as material particle size distribution, compaction density, and residual alkali control; for equipment companies such as Yifu, it means that grinding and dispersion, atmosphere sintering, and continuous coating must match the process window of "small specific surface, rounded morphology, and stable batches" of manganese-based precursors. Every gram of optimization on the material side will ultimately be undertaken by every micron of precision on the equipment side.

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

From November 16th to 17th, in Gucheng, Xiangyang, Hubei, the new park and the forum opened simultaneously to welcome guests - let’s listen to Mr. Wang Zhengwei’s explanation of “why the optimal solution for small power is still manganese-based”, and also see how a new production line can transform the uniformity of precursor particles into the high-temperature cycle and calendar life of the terminal battery.Gucheng, see you there!
