SMM Daily Review: February 6 Spot Lithium Carbonate Prices Continued to Decline

Published: Feb 6, 2026 17:09
SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate index stood at 136,038 yuan/mt. Battery-grade lithium carbonate was priced at 127,000-142,000 yuan/mt, with an average of 134,500 yuan/mt. Industrial-grade lithium carbonate was priced at 124,000-138,000 yuan/mt, with an average of 131,000 yuan/mt.
Today, the most-traded lithium carbonate futures contract moved sideways, trading mainly between 124,100 yuan/mt and 138,500 yuan/mt. On the trading front, upstream lithium chemical plants showed strong willingness to hold prices firm and limit sales. Downstream material plants adopted a strategy of buying the dip. Currently, stockpiling by downstream material plants ahead of the Chinese New Year in February is nearly complete, and market inquiries and transactions remained relatively stable.

Guansheng Has Technical Reserves For Quasi-Solid-State Ternary Lithium Batteries
Recently, Guansheng disclosed that its solid-liquid hybrid battery electrolyte membrane employs a self-developed polymer solid-state electrolyte membrane. Furthermore, the company's technical focus in the solid-state battery field is primarily on polymer-based solid-liquid hybrid batteries, with a key emphasis on industrial and commercial energy storage applications. This approach offers advantages such as lower costs, high safety, and relatively mature manufacturing processes, making it suitable for mass production. Simultaneously, Guansheng also possesses technical reserves for quasi-solid-state ternary lithium batteries, with its core process involving the use of ultraviolet light cross-linking polymerization technology to achieve in-situ curing of the electrolyte membrane.
