Lithium-ion Battery Materials (Cathodes, Anodes, Silicon-Carbon Anodes, Separators)
NNitrogen purging creates an oxygen-free environment during roll-pressing, coating, and baking processes, preventing material oxidation and failure. Since silicon-based anodes are particularly prone to oxidation, nitrogen isolates them from oxygen to stabilize their crystal structure.
- Electrolyte and Powder Storage: Nitrogen blanketing prevents moisture absorption and decomposition, while eliminating the risk of spontaneous combustion.
- Furnace Sintering: Protective nitrogen atmospheres enhance electrical conductivity and cycle life.
Photovoltaic Silicon Wafers, Semiconductor Wafers, and New Semiconductor Materials:
- Silicon Purification, Crystal Growth, Diffusion, and Etching: Protected by high-purity nitrogen.
- Oxidation Prevention: Prevents high-temperature oxidation of silicon wafers, minimizing impurities and defects to boost conversion efficiency.
- Chamber Purging and Wafer Processing: Provides an inert atmosphere—clean, dust-free, and oxygen-free—within processing chambers.
Ceramics, Hard Alloys, Powder Metallurgy, and High-Temperature Sintering:
Includes metal powders, alumina, silicon carbide, and structural ceramics.
- Nitrogen Protection: Prevents decarburization and oxidation.
- Material Enhancement: Refines grain structure, increases material density, and significantly boosts hardness and strength.
- Essential for Cermets: A nitrogen atmosphere is indispensable for the production of cermet cutting tools and structural components.
