After that, SMM has also conducted a detailed analysis of this hot situation. Specifically, the average price of lithium carbonate has broken through 490000! The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology mentioned three times in two months that power batteries are going to be robbed to recycle old batteries. [SMM special topic] "View the article.
According to the spot price of SMM, as of March 9, the average spot price of domestic battery-grade lithium carbonate was 498000 yuan / ton, up 1000 yuan a day.
