Summary: As of May 2023, several TiO2 enterprises like LB Group and CNNC TD have revealed the progress of relevant new energy projects.
In recent years, many titanium dioxide (TiO2) enterprises including LB Group Co., Ltd. (LB Group), CNNC Hua Yuan Titanium Dioxide Co., Ltd. (CNNC TD), Yibin Tianyuan Group Co., Ltd. (Yibin Tianyuan), Guangdong Huiyun Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. (Huiyun Titanium), Gpro Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. (Gpro Titanium), and Anhui Annada Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. (Anhui Annada) have stepped into new energy sector by utilising their own advantages. The process of producing TiO2 can generate the by-product ferrous sulphate (FeSO4), the raw material for ferric phosphate (FePO4), which can be further used to produce lithium ferrous phosphate (LiFePO4). As one kind of cathode materials, LiFePO4 is applied to various fields, such as automobiles, energy storage, and marine vessels, and has become one of the most promising cathode materials these days. As of May 2023, several TiO2 enterprises have disclosed the progress of relevant new energy projects.
