Solid-State Battery Weekly ：Li2S Production Line Construction Accelerates While Cost Contradiction Remains Unresolved

This week, SMM solid-state battery material prices remained weak. Dowstone’s silicon-carbon anode shipped in batches; Ion Energy’s 51Ah automotive-grade solid-state battery went into production; Dongfeng’s solid-state battery mass production was postponed to Q4. Overseas, Factorial partnered with Mitsui Kinzoku, and WeLion’s 150MWh semi-solid-state energy storage project went overseas. The equipment segment has the highest certainty.

Polymer Solid-State Battery Layout at “Wuhan Speed”: A Comprehensive Analysis of Ion Energy’s Layout

All-solid-state batteries have entered an intensive GWh pilot production period, with 2027–2030 as the key window for small-batch vehicle installation. Planned capacity is expected to exceed 1,119 GWh by 2035, but the utilization rate from 2026 to 2030 will be only 1%–15%, indicating a severe demand mismatch, with volume ramp-up only gradually beginning after 2032.

Phosphate Ore Imports and Exports Surge in August: Is the Demand Peak Season Arriving?

In August, China’s phosphate ore imports surged month-on-month (MoM), and the price center shifted upward. Total imports for the month were 116,000 mt, up 563.2% MoM, largely recovering from the extremely low base in July caused by the export ban. The average import price rebounded to US$94.6/mt, up 12.0% MoM. Egypt and Jordan together accounted for 98.3%, further intensifying source concentration. Meanwhile, after consecutive zero transactions, exports suddenly rose to 61,000 mt in August.
