Litai New Energy, a firm specializing in fire safety solutions for batteries, bags tens of millions of yuan in angel investments.
Litai New Energy Raises Funding for Lithium Battery Fire Suppressant Development
Nanjing Litai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese startup specializing in battery fire safety solutions, has recently completed an angel round of financing that raised tens of millions of yuan. The investor for this round was CASSTAR.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate the industrialization of Litai New Energy's proprietary lithium battery fire suppressants. The solution, which is particularly effective in mitigating battery fire risks in diverse application scenarios, combines a nanoparticle-based flame-retardant cooling film, dispersed radical scavengers, and targeted metal chelators.
Upon activation, the suppressant rapidly produces dense and fine foam that effectively smothers flames, adsorbs electrolyte and flammable gases, and halts the chain reaction of combustion. Its clean, efficient extinguishing performance and strong re-ignition resistance set it apart from conventional fire agents.
The rapid growth of the NEV industry has led to concerns over thermal runaway and fire incidents in lithium batteries. These incidents pose serious safety risks and hinder the development of the industry. Litai New Energy's solution tackles these challenges through its independently developed fire suppression agents and intelligent fire protection systems designed specifically for lithium batteries.
The new capital raised by Litai New Energy will also be used to upgrade core technologies and expand market presence, particularly in energy storage and new energy vehicle (NEV) sectors. The products are currently targeted at energy storage containers and cabinets, NEV charging and battery-swap stations, telecom base stations, residential and commercial energy storage systems.
Litai New Energy's water-based formulation demonstrates superior performance in low-temperature tolerance, corrosion resistance, vapor pressure, spray pressure, and extinguishing efficiency.
However, when it comes to Litai New Energy's market expansion plans or technological advancements following their recent funding, there are no search results providing direct information. The available data primarily focuses on other companies’ projects, such as EnergyX's application of LiTAS® DLE technology for lithium extraction. It is plausible that Litai New Energy is developing or commercializing similar technologies, but no explicit expansion or advancement plan is publicly detailed in the given results.
For precise, up-to-date details on Litai New Energy's market expansion or technology development post-funding, further direct company communications or industry reports may be required for comprehensive insight.
