Large-space disinfection, medical cosmetology, consumer electronic atomizers... As application scenarios become increasingly abundant, the electronic atomization industry is gradually emerging as a new trillion-yuan market. As the most core component of electronic atomizers, the atomizing core has long been a "strategically contested area" in China's electronic atomization industry, driving round after round of technological innovation and industrial transformation. Iteration has always been happening in atomizing core technology. From the earliest glass fiber cores to resistance wire cotton cores and then to ceramic atomizing cores, the atomizing core has undergone several iterations, with increasing requirements for heating uniformity, ceramic strength, and ceramic atomization energy efficiency. However, the mainstream ceramic atomizing cores on the market currently generally face a series of problems: First, sufficient oil guiding capacity requires high porosity and small ceramic fiber pore size, but this will affect the strength of the ceramic atomizing core; on the other hand, to ensure the taste, a sufficiently small ceramic fiber pore size is needed, and existing ceramic materials are difficult to achieve this balance. In addition, ceramic sintering and surface metallization methods also face many technical challenges in the implementation process... Faced with these pain points, new entrants to the industry are constantly making determined efforts to innovate and seek breakthroughs. The world's first aerogel intelligent atomizing core In recent years, the rapid iteration of new materials has driven an unprecedented wave of innovation in atomization technology. It is understood that aerogel is the solid with the smallest density in the world and is known as a multifunctional new material that can change the world. On March 28, the "Global First Aerogel Intelligent Atomizing Core Launch Conference and Atomization Industry Development Forum" hosted by Bauhinia Future Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Bauhinia Future") and Shenzhen BetterPower Battery Co., Ltd. was held at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. The conference revealed the new intelligent application of aerogel materials in the field of electronic atomization, discussed the future development direction of the atomization industry, and promoted the integration and development of the global atomization technology industry, attracting much attention from the atomizing core industry. It is understood that the world's first aerogel intelligent atomizing core is one of the important technological achievements completed by Bauhinia Future in conjunction with the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Xi'an Jiaotong University. Through its original aerogel fiber growth technology, the product solves the five key links of the atomizing core - "gas, mist, oil, temperature, and electricity" in one step. It not only has excellent oil guiding performance, stability, and durability but also has an excellent temperature control effect, which can effectively improve the user experience of electronic atomization equipment and will bring disruptive technological iterations to fields such as electronic atomization, medical atomization, and air management. "Traditional atomization technology requires the use of wax for pore formation. The pores of traditional ceramic cores after sintering are curved like earthworms, which leads to problems such as oil leakage and easy precipitation of powder. However, the aerogel functional ceramic technology mastered by Bauhinia Future Technology has in-line pores after sintering, with a porosity as high as 85%." According to Wu Haiming, founder and chairman of Bauhinia Future, he made a simple analogy: the intelligent atomizing core made using aerogel technology is like changing the previous three-lane road into an eight-lane road, with significantly improved circulation. Full of "newness"! Driving the iteration and upgrading of the atomization industry "From the 1.0 version of cotton cores to the 2.0 version of ceramic cores and now to the 3.0 version of aerogel intelligent atomizing cores, we have witnessed the unremitting innovation of scientific researchers and the vigorous development of the atomizing core industry." Weng Duan, former vice chairman of the Chinese Materials Research Society and a well-known professor at Tsinghua University, believes that the release of this new product not only shows substantial progress in aerogel material research and atomizing core development but also provides a new research direction for the future development of the global atomization industry. Wang Hongjie, vice dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Xi'an Jiaotong University, believes that as the core component of the global atomization industry, the atomizing core is an important focus of technological innovation. The birth of the world's first aerogel intelligent atomizing core not only injects new impetus into the research of the atomization industry but also will have a wide and far-reaching impact on the progress of the new material industry. In addition to the world's first aerogel intelligent atomizing core released this time, Bauhinia Future Technology, which adheres to "technology + products" as its core competitiveness, is actively expanding its diversified layout. It has currently developed aerogel felt/block/board, super heat-insulating SiC aerogel, and Si3N4 aerogel felt products, while actively exploring more possibilities of aerogel graphite atomizing cores in the future. During the event, Bauhinia Future also appointed Wang Hongjie and Weng Duan as the company's "Chief Scientist" and "Strategic General Advisor" respectively. In addition, Bauhinia Future and Shenzhen BetterPower Battery Co., Ltd. jointly signed an important strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will strengthen cooperation in technical research and development, market promotion, talent training, etc., to promote the optimization and upgrading of the entire atomization industry ecosystem. Turning stone into gold! Targeting the trillion-yuan market of the atomization industry Large-space disinfection, medical cosmetology, consumer electronic atomizers... As application scenarios become more and more abundant, the electronic atomization industry is gradually becoming a new trillion-yuan market. Although the market is huge, how to stand out in the fiercely competitive market? Wu Haiming believes that technological innovation is a breakthrough. Currently, promoting industrial technological innovation and developing new productive forces is a strategic and long-term measure in Guangdong. As a major industrial district in Shenzhen, Bao'an has strong regional innovation capabilities and a solid and complete industrial foundation in the country. According to the newly released list of Top 100 Innovative Districts by CCID (2024), Bao'an's innovation strength ranks second in the country, and its strong industrial innovation capability is a plus. Industries set the questions, and science and technology provide the answers. According to data, Bao'an District has formed an advantage in the electronic atomization industry cluster, covering a complete industrial chain from raw materials, R&D to production, sales, logistics, exhibitions, and services, and is a global hub for the atomization industry. To enhance enterprise strength, leading enterprises in Bao'an's electronic atomization industry have strengthened cooperation with technical institutions, carried out joint research and development, continuously expanded application boundaries, and widely applied technologies in fields such as atomization medical treatment, health, and beauty to continuously expand the market. Bauhinia Future Technology Bauhinia Future Technology's packaging and cutting technology is precisely a clever way to promptly respond to customer needs. Wu Haiming said: "With strong design capabilities, we can quickly customize the thickness of the groove according to specific customer needs and flexibly adjust it through packaging and cutting. For example, the oil groove of the atomizing core can be personalized to adjust the amount of smoke according to customer needs." It is worth mentioning that Bauhinia Future Technology adopts a simulation structure design on the atomizing core. By testing and calculating the respiratory vital capacity of people of different states and ages, simulating digital simulation results, and optimizing the structural parameters of the atomizing core based on this, it is applied to the sensor part to accurately control the number of large and small pores and various data, so as to improve atomization efficiency, reduce the generation of harmful substances, and improve the taste. Through mature and perfect technology, Bauhinia Future Technology's aerogel ceramic atomizing core has reached the international leading level and achieved disruptive results in the atomizer industry: the brittleness of aerogel is reduced, and the problem of "powder falling" is solved; the maximum operating temperature reaches 1500℃, far higher than the upper limit of 650℃ of conventional aerogel; it has significantly higher mechanical strength while still maintaining excellent compressibility/elasticity; under high strength, the porosity is 30% higher than existing products on the market, and the taste is more delicate compared with existing products... Solving the pain points of the five key links of the atomizing core - "gas, mist, oil, temperature, and electricity" in one step, the aerogel ceramic atomizing core further strengthens Bauhinia Future Technology's leading position in atomizing core technology. "One key lab, two colleges, two institutes" build strong industry-university-research strength The successful development of the aerogel ceramic atomizer is inseparable from the support and contribution of top universities and leading research institutes.
