position in the domestic market. The energy storage sector has become a key growth driver for LFP, with
energy storage battery shipments increasing by more than 70% year-on-year.
The LFP industry exhibited clear polarization in 2025. Driven by both power and energy storage
demand, the demand side remained robust, and leading companies maintained high capacity utilization
rates. However, the industry as a whole faced margin pressure. This divergence has driven the industry to
shift from “scale competition” to comprehensive competition encompassing product technology, process,
and ecosystem collaboration. In the energy storage sector, LFP has become the mainstream technological
route due to its advantages in cost, cycle life, and safety, further consolidating its dominant position in the
lithium battery materials market. In the medium to long term, sodium-ion batteries, with advantages such
as abundant raw material resources and superior low-temperature performance, demonstrate significant
cost-reduction potential. They are expected to form a complementary relationship with LFP batteries and
gradually achieve industrial-scale application in specific scenarios such as long-duration energy storage
and remote-area energy storage. In addition, LMFP, as an upgraded technology route of LFP, has already
been adopted in certain vehicle models. With its higher voltage platform and resulting energy density
advantages, LMFP is expected to develop differentiated competitiveness in commercial vehicles and mid-
range passenger vehicle markets.
In the ternary materials segment, following the enactment of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, the
early termination of the federal tax credit for new energy vehicles under Section 30D of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code has led to near stagnation in the growth of the U.S. New energy vehicle market. Combined
Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 2025 Annual Report Summary
with a slowdown in China’s new energy vehicle market growth and further penetration of LFP batteries in
mid- to low-end vehicle segments, the growth rate of the global ternary materials market declined in 2025.
Despite this, Chinese enterprises continued to increase their share in the global ternary supply chain,
supported by advantages in technology R&D and cost control. According to ICCSINO, global ternary
material production reached 1.033 million tons in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.4%, of
which China accounted for 769,000 tons. The global market share of Chinese enterprises increased from
continue to follow the high-nickel technology route, while demand for mid-nickel products remains strong
in China. Although the share of high-nickel ternary materials declined slightly in 2025, it remained at a
high level, exceeding 50%. Looking ahead, with the large-scale adoption of 4680 cylindrical batteries, the
acceleration of solid-state battery industrialization, and the gradual emergence of demand for high-energy-
density batteries in emerging fields such as humanoid robotics and the low-altitude economy, high-nickel
ternary materials are expected to maintain clear growth potential.
Mid-nickel high-voltage products have demonstrated strong performance driven by cost-
effectiveness. In 2025, the market share of 6-series ternary materials increased significantly, primarily
benefiting from low lithium salt prices, which narrowed the cost gap between ternary and LFP materials.
Leveraging a balanced combination of performance and cost, mid-nickel high-voltage products achieved
rapid penetration in China’s mainstream best-selling vehicle models, further consolidating the position of
ternary materials in the mid- to high-end passenger vehicle market.
In summary, in 2025, LFP is evolving toward differentiated competition in technology and process
innovation; high-nickel ternary materials remain an irreplaceable technological route for high energy
density applications, with long-term growth potential in high-end power batteries, eVTOL, and solid-state
batteries; and mid-nickel high-voltage materials are rapidly penetrating the mid- to high-end market due
to their cost-performance advantages. Leveraging its platform-based multi-technology strategy, the
Company has not only established strong technological barriers in high-nickel ternary materials but also
simultaneously advanced in mid-nickel high-voltage ternary materials, LFP, LMFP, and sodium-ion
materials. Its product portfolio demonstrates comprehensive competitiveness, supported by technological
depth and mass production capabilities to meet diversified market demands, thereby completing its
transformation into a platform-based enterprise.

(3) Major Technical Barriers
The development and manufacturing of high-nickel cathode materials involve significant technical
barriers, requiring companies to have deep technical expertise. These barriers are mainly reflected in three
aspects: product development, production technology, and quality certification. From a development
perspective, companies must achieve a multi-dimensional performance balance tailored to customer
requirements, including high capacity, long cycle life, excellent rate performance, wide temperature
adaptability, low gas generation, and high thermal safety. This places high demands on production line
design, customized development capabilities, and technical service capabilities. From a production
perspective, stringent environmental control, equipment corrosion resistance, and high levels of
automation pose challenges to achieving stable, large-scale, and cost-effective mass production. From a
quality certification perspective, automakers and battery manufacturers typically require more than 1.5
years of long-term testing and comprehensive evaluation, covering raw material management, mass
production process control, delivery management, and system operation. As a result, market entry cycles
are lengthy. Building on this foundation, the industrialization of solid-state batteries imposes even higher
requirements on high-nickel ternary cathode materials. The two are closely linked in technological
evolution: high-nickel ternary cathodes are a key option for achieving high energy density in solid-state
batteries. However, challenges remain in ensuring interfacial stability between the cathode and electrolyte,
maintaining structural integrity during cycling, and ensuring the safety of composite cathodes when
combined with electrolytes. In addition, compatibility between solid-state cathode processes and existing
production lines must be maintained, further increasing the barriers to development and manufacturing.
In the LFP materials segment, significant technical barriers also exist. High compaction density has
become a core competitive factor, with fourth- and fifth-generation products imposing higher requirements
on production processes and raw material control. In terms of production processes, among current
mainstream routes, the iron phosphate method accounts for approximately 83% of the market share. While
technologically mature, it features long precursor production cycles, wastewater generation, and high
energy consumption. The ferrous oxalate method accounts for approximately 7% of the market share;
although it involves a longer process flow, it delivers superior performance. The Company’s “one-step”
process differs from these traditional routes by significantly shortening the production process,
substantially reducing capital expenditure per ton and energy consumption, while offering stronger
Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 2025 Annual Report Summary
automation potential and eliminating the generation of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste. This provides a
new direction for technological development in the industry. In addition, for energy storage applications,
LFP materials face increasingly stringent requirements in technical indicators such as cycle life, iron
phosphide content, iron dissolution levels, and magnetic impurities, further raising the industry’s
technological entry barriers.
LMFP, as an upgraded product of LFP, offers higher voltage and energy density (approximately 15%-
However, it still faces relatively high technical barriers in material modification, blending with ternary
materials, optimization for standalone applications, and mass production processes. Furthermore,
developing LMFP products tailored to emerging application scenarios, such as energy storage, humanoid
robotics, and the low-altitude economy, also presents substantial technical challenges.
For sodium-ion battery cathode materials, technical barriers are primarily associated with three
technical routes: layered oxides are prone to structural degradation and interfacial side reactions under
high voltage; polyanion compounds have inherently low electrical conductivity, requiring complex
modification processes; prussian blue analogs are susceptible to the introduction of crystal water and
vacancy defects during synthesis, affecting performance and safety. To address these challenges, the
Company has implemented a comprehensive technology roadmap and sustained R&D investment. Its
polyanion materials have achieved a cycle life exceeding 15,000 cycles and a compaction density greater
than 2.40 g/cm?. In addition, the Company has moved away from the industry’s conventional production
line compatibility approach and developed a fully integrated process tailored to sodium-ion battery
characteristics. This enables the Company to achieve leading product performance while reducing
processing costs.
In 2025, the competitive landscape of the global cathode materials industry continued to evolve. The
Company has achieved full coverage across all major technology routes, including ternary materials,
LMFP, sodium-ion materials, and LFP. It has successfully transformed from a leading ternary materials
manufacturer into a platform-based provider of integrated cathode material solutions, with distinctive
advantages in multi-technology coordination, full-market coverage, and the ability to deliver customized
Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 2025 Annual Report Summary
solutions to customers.
During the reporting period, the Company’s ternary materials business was in a phase of product
upgrading and iteration, with accelerated development of next-generation mid-nickel high-voltage and
high-nickel products. Its overseas expansion progressed steadily. At the Chungju, South Korea base, the
Company adjusted its qualified supply entity in response to the requirements of the “One Big Beautiful
Bill Act”. Upon completion, this adjustment is expected to revitalize production capacity in South Korea,
improve capital recovery, and enable the Company to benefit from the long-term growth of the North
American market. With respect to the European market, the project for ternary cathode materials, with an
annual capacity of 25,000 tons, at the Polish factory is expected to complete construction in the second
half of 2026 and enter the stages of product commissioning and customer certification, thereby enhancing
localized supply capabilities in Europe.
The Company has also achieved breakthrough progress in its strategically emerging businesses, with
LFP and sodium-ion materials becoming new growth drivers. In the LFP segment, the Company has
entered the market with brand-new production process featuring low cost and high performance and has
made significant progress in key customer onboarding and capacity expansion through acquisitions. At
the same time, the Company has taken the lead in expanding into overseas markets. Leveraging its existing
footprint in Poland, it is advancing production line construction to provide localized supply solutions for
European automakers and battery manufacturers, further consolidating its first-mover advantage in
globalization. In the sodium-ion segment, the Company entered into a strategic cooperation agreement
with CATL in November 2025, under which CATL has designated the Company as its primary supplier of
sodium-ion cathode powder. The LMFP business has maintained full production and full sales, achieving
quarterly profitability since the third quarter. Customer development across multiple application fields has
exceeded expectations, and shipment volume in the power battery segment continues to rank first in the
industry.
Patterns, and New Models During the Reporting Period
During the reporting period, performance requirements for power and energy storage batteries
continued to increase. The industrialization of solid-state batteries accelerated, sodium-ion batteries
entered their first year of commercialization, and significant changes occurred in both technological
Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 2025 Annual Report Summary
evolution and competitive dynamics of LFP. The following is the development status and future trends of
new technologies and new business patterns during the reporting period:
(1) Solid-state Batteries: Semi-solid-state Entering Large-scale Application, Clearer Timeline
for All-solid-state Mass Production
In 2025, the solid-state battery industry transitioned from “proof of concept” to a critical stage of
“industrial implementation”.
For semi-solid-state batteries, technological maturity has improved significantly. These batteries are
no longer limited to high-end vehicle applications but are gradually penetrating the mainstream market.
During the year, large-scale vehicle deployment was achieved, with multiple automakers launching mass-
produced models equipped with semi-solid-state batteries across mid- to high-end and premium segments.
Semi-solid-state batteries have achieved a balanced trade-off among energy density, safety, and cost,
making them an ideal transitional solution from liquid batteries to all-solid-state batteries. Currently, the
energy density of semi-solid-state cells generally reaches 300-350 Wh/kg, meeting the range requirements
of mid- to high-end vehicles.
For all-solid-state batteries, leading global battery manufacturers and complete vehicle manufacturers
have largely reached a consensus, with mass production generally targeted for 2027-2028. The sulfide
electrolyte route, due to its high ionic conductivity, has become a commonly chosen technical direction
by mainstream manufacturers. Several companies have completed pilot production lines and successfully
produced Ah-level all-solid-state pouch cells, demonstrating excellent energy density performance. High-
nickel ternary and lithium-rich manganese-based cathodes are the primary development directions for
cathode materials, while silicon-carbon anodes are the mainstream choice for anode materials.
According to the analysis of industry research institution EVTank, the acceleration of solid-state
battery industrialization will drive upstream cathode materials toward higher energy density. As a
comprehensive supplier of cathode materials covering all major technology routes, the Company
maintains industry-leading R&D capabilities in high-nickel and ultra-high-nickel product series, which
are adaptable to solid-state battery systems and provide a first-mover advantage in the solid-state cathode
materials segment.
(2) LFP: Technological Iteration Driving Competitive Upgrading
In 2025, LFP materials further consolidated their dominant position in China’s power battery market
Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 2025 Annual Report Summary
while maintaining a monopolistic share in the energy storage sector. According to EVTank data, in 2025,
China’s LFP cathode material shipments increased by more than 60% year-on-year, accounting for nearly
accounted for over 99%.
In terms of technological iteration, performance indicators such as high compaction density, high rate
capability, and long cycle life have become core competitive factors in the LFP material segment. As
market demand for volumetric energy density of LFP cells continues to increase, the upper limit of
compaction density is being continuously pushed higher. Meanwhile, fast-charging requirements are
driving improvements in rate performance, while energy storage applications demand longer cycle life.
The future trend toward integrated power and energy storage applications further requires LFP materials
to simultaneously achieve high compaction density, high rate capability, and long cycle life. This
necessitates technological upgrades across precursor preparation, sintering processes, element doping,
carbon coating, and particle size distribution on the basis of existing processes, creating substantial
technical barriers.
From a competitive landscape perspective, the industry is shifting from “scale expansion” to
“structural optimization”. Integrated deployment across the value chain has become a consensus among
leading players to reduce costs, with full-chain layouts encompassing “resources-precursors-cathode
materials-recycling” gradually taking shape.
Globally, the LFP supply chain remains highly concentrated in China, with more than 90% of
shipments originating from Chinese companies. As domestic battery manufacturers' LFP cell factories in
Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions are successively put into operation, the localization of overseas
LFP supply chains is expected to accelerate. LFP is evolving toward a “high-performance all-round”
solution characterized by higher specific energy, higher power density, higher efficiency, and lower cost,
with system-level innovation becoming an inevitable path for industry evolution.
(3) Sodium-ion Batteries: Entering the First Year of Commercialization
In 2025, the sodium-ion battery industry achieved a critical transition from technology validation to
large-scale delivery. Technological maturity has improved significantly, the supporting industry chain has
gradually developed, and application scenarios have continued to expand.
In terms of technological breakthroughs, leading companies have achieved mass-produced products
Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 2025 Annual Report Summary
with energy density exceeding 170 Wh/kg. The low-temperature performance advantage has been further
strengthened, maintaining high usable capacity even under extreme conditions of -30°C to -40°C,
effectively addressing key application challenges in northern regions.
From a cost perspective, as core materials have entered mass production at the scale of tens of
thousands of tons, some companies have reduced cell costs to below RMB 0.45/Wh, making sodium-ion
batteries economically competitive with lithium-ion batteries in certain application scenarios.
In terms of application scenarios, sodium-ion batteries are no longer limited to substituting lithium
batteries. They are rapidly penetrating markets such as low-speed electric vehicles, electric two-wheelers,
residential energy storage, and backup power for communication base stations. In large-scale energy
storage, “hybrid lithium-sodium” systems are beginning to be explored, leveraging the high-power
characteristics of sodium-ion batteries to manage transient power fluctuations.
According to EVTank data, global sodium-ion battery shipments doubled year-on-year in 2025. The
industry widely expects that with continued technological advancement and further cost reductions,
sodium-ion batteries will achieve large-scale applications in energy storage, two-wheelers, and low-speed
EVs, and may reach a hundred-GWh-level industry scale by 2030.
Since its establishment in 2014, the Company has been deeply involved in the R&D and
manufacturing of lithium/sodium-ion battery cathode materials and precursors. Leveraging its outstanding
capabilities in technological innovation and industrial mergers and acquisitions, the Company has
successfully secured multiple industry-leading core technologies.
