[Engaged in lithium battery anode materials business! YOUNGY plans to invest 100 million yuan to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary] On the evening of November 19, YOUNGY announced that, according to its strategic planning and operational development needs, and to further integrate the upstream and downstream industry chain of lithium battery materials and fully leverage the synergistic advantages of the industry chain, the company plans to invest 100 million yuan to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, Lanzhou Youngy Materials Technology Co., Ltd., to engage in lithium-ion battery anode materials business.

YOUNGY stated that in recent years, the anode materials industry has been in a rapid development stage, with an accelerated pace of capacity expansion, and the market share of artificial graphite has significantly increased. Although the anode materials industry has accumulated a certain capacity in the short term, from a structural perspective, based on the rapid development of the lithium-ion battery industry, there is still a gap in high-capacity, high-power, high-safety, and high-stability anode materials. Currently, high-end artificial graphite products all use ultra-high temperature modification, and high-temperature modification processing is a scarce resource.

[The World's First GWh-Level New Solid-State Battery Production Line Lands in Wuhu, Anhui] On the morning of November 18, several container trucks loaded with equipment slowly entered the factory area of Anhui Anwa New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., located in the Wuhu Economic Development Zone. These pieces of equipment will be installed, debugged, and put into production, marking the official establishment of the new solid-state battery production line in Wuhu and the comprehensive push towards mass production of new solid-state batteries. Anwa New Energy Company and the Wuhu Economic Development Zone jointly created a new solid-state battery industrial park, with the first phase covering approximately 150 mu, planning a 5GWh solid-state next-generation battery R&D center and a highly integrated automated production line. The first production line, with a designed capacity of 1.25GWh, is the world's first GWh-level new solid-state battery production line.

[SMM Daily Review: Lithium Carbonate Prices Rise on November 20]

SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate index price was 78,829 yuan/mt, up 316 yuan/mt from the previous working day; battery-grade lithium carbonate was 77,500-80,600 yuan/mt, with an average price of 79,050 yuan/mt, up 300 yuan/mt from the previous working day; industrial-grade lithium carbonate was 75,150-76,150 yuan/mt, with an average price of 75,650 yuan/mt, up 400 yuan/mt from the previous working day. Prices continued to fluctuate, and with subsequent actual order conditions still unclear, downstream material plants currently have low purchase willingness and are adopting a cautious wait-and-see attitude. Upstream lithium chemical smelters have a strong sentiment to stand firm on quotes at this period. Overall, the actual transaction situation in the market is relatively quiet. It is expected that the spot prices of lithium carbonate will continue to show sideways movement in the future.

SMM Daily: Lithium Carbonate Prices Rise Amid Cautious Market Sentiment

In October, China imported 23,196 mt of lithium carbonate, up 43% MoM and up 116% YoY, according to customs data. From January to October, the cumulative import volume was 187,687 mt. Among these, imports from Chile were 17,861 mt (77%), and imports from Argentina were 4,791 mt (21%). In October, China exported 300 mt of lithium carbonate, up 81% MoM and down 6% YoY.
