The industrialization of solid-state battery anodes follows a clear technological progression, closely linked to the maturity of the electrolyte system: first, compatibility and improvement—silicon-based/composite anodes; second, upgrading and breakthroughs—pre-lithiation/composite lithium metal anodes; and third, the ultimate goal—pure lithium metal anode capacity deployment.

Easpring Technology (300073.SZ) announced that the company and ProLogium Technology signed the "Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement" on February 6. The two parties intend to strengthen cooperation in the fields of solid-state batteries and the new energy industry, fully leverage their respective technical advantages, and establish a comprehensive strategic partnership in areas such as equity investment, cooperation on battery materials, mass production, and supply.

Select Water Solutions and LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners have announced that they have reached a definitive agreement to develop commercial lithium carbonate production facilities in the Midland Basin, Texas, USA. The project will be implemented in three stages, with LibertyStream responsible for funding, design, construction, and operation. The first facility will have an annual production capacity of approximately 1,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate and is expected to be commissioned by the end of December 2026. The first commercial lithium carbonate facility will be located at Select’s existing operating site in Howard County, north of Midland, Texas, serving as the anchor installation for further expansion of lithium projects in the Midland Basin.
