In April 2024, Anhui Semi-Aeon Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Semi-Aeon") was established in the Chizhou Economic Development Zone and quickly gained prominence in the industry.
Semian Energy's ability to "quickly take off" stems from over a decade of technological accumulation by its team. Before the company's establishment, the core members of this team had been dedicated to the research, development, and application of nano-metal materials, securing more than ten invention patents, which laid a solid technical foundation for mass production. "We didn’t start from scratch but transformed years of technological accumulation into scalable production capacity," said Liao Yongzhi, Chairman of Semian Energy. After the company was founded, it bridged the critical links between "technology—mass production—market," enabling mature technologies to better meet the demands of larger clients.
The rapid start of Semian Energy cannot be achieved without the comprehensive empowerment of its parent company, Shenzhen Semian Energy Technology Co., Ltd. As the company's technology research and development center and overseas high-end resource docking window, Shenzhen Semian Energy Technology Co., Ltd. provides three core supports: continuous technological iteration to ensure that production processes are always leading; The introduction of high-end talents continuously enriches the strength of the R&D team; Stable financial support to facilitate the rapid implementation of production lines. With the support of our parent company, we don't have to 'explore from scratch' in technology research and resource docking. We can directly focus on production and market, which saves us a lot of detours, "said Liao Yongzhi.
Recently, the reporter walked into the production workshop of Semian Energy and saw that the production line with an annual output of 600 tons of nano metal powder was operating in an orderly manner, and core products such as nano copper, nano silver, and nano nickel were continuously produced. The outstanding feature of these products comes from the company's unique wet preparation technology - compared to the common physical methods in the industry, the wet process produces nano metal powders with higher activity, lower production costs, and significantly reduced energy consumption. More importantly, its compatibility with downstream metal pastes, electronic components, and other processes has been significantly improved.
In the field of conductive paste for electronic components, the copper paste prepared from the nano copper powder we produce has a more uniform metal color, higher brightness, lower oxygen content, and better conductivity and adhesion than the industry level after sintering. Liao Yongzhi introduced that currently, multiple electronic component manufacturing enterprises and integrated circuit packaging paste suppliers have given positive feedback, and some customers have expressed long-term cooperation intentions. It is reported that in the field of biomedical sterilization, the nano silver materials produced by the company have also entered the verification stage of multiple research institutions due to their excellent antibacterial performance.
At the R&D center of Semian Energy, a team composed of master's and doctoral talents is working towards the two major goals of "further reducing costs and improving performance". At present, products such as nano copper and nano nickel have achieved wet production and are in the first tier in China, but we are not satisfied with this, "said Li Junjie, R&D director of Semian Energy. The team is further reducing product costs and improving the stability of mass production batches through optimizing reaction parameters and improving purification processes. These two breakthroughs can significantly enhance the market competitiveness of the products.
More forward-looking is that Semian Energy is transforming from a "material supplier" to a "solution provider". The company has established a high viscosity cooperative development model with downstream customers, customizing material properties according to their application scenarios and participating in downstream product technology research and development. A flexible printed circuit company has customized nano silver coated copper powder. We not only provide materials, but also assist the other party in optimizing the paste system and dispersion, greatly improving the overall conductivity and adhesion performance, "said Li Junjie.
When it comes to future planning, Semian Energy's development path is very clear: in the short term, it will focus on small and medium-sized customers, accumulate stable orders and cash flow, and lay the foundation for capacity release; Gradually expanding single powder materials into composite frame materials in the mid-term; Long term focus on "solving industry pain points", through breakthroughs in material technology, helping downstream industries reduce costs and improve performance. Nanotechnology is the cornerstone of future manufacturing, and what we need to do is become one of the most reliable suppliers on this cornerstone, "said Liao Yongzhi.
