Global Internet of People, Inc. (SDH), today announced that its subsidiary Sunrise (Guizhou) New Energy Material Co., Ltd., a lithium-ion battery anode producer based in Guizhou Province, China, has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Graphite One Inc., a Vancouver based company that produces graphite materials.

The companies intend to negotiate a definitive agreement to form an alliance for the purpose of establishing a graphite material manufacturing facility in Washington State. Graphite One plans to build a supply chain of graphite materials in the US, which is proposed to consist of a manufacturing facility producing anode and other graphite-based products using natural graphite from a graphite deposit site near Nome, Alaska. Sunrise will assist in the design, construction and operation of the proposed manufacturing facility.

Sunrise was founded by SDH and several industry peers to produce lithium-ion anode materials.
