[Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: energy storage battery output exceeds 9GWh new energy vehicle power battery loading about 30GWh] data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that from January to February 2022, China's lithium-ion battery industry maintained a trend of rapid growth. According to the industry standard announcement, enterprise information and research institutions estimated that the total output of lithium battery in China exceeded 82GWh from January to February. In the lithium-ion battery link, the output of energy storage battery exceeds that of 9GWh, and the installed capacity of power battery of new energy vehicle is about 30GWh. Export trade increased steadily, with the total export volume of lithium electricity reaching 35.7 billion yuan from January to February. In the first-order material link of direct use of lithium electricity, the output of related products increased by more than 65% year-on-year, and the output of cathode materials, negative electrode materials, diaphragms and electrolytes reached 235000 tons, 140000 tons, 1.75 billion square meters and 105000 tons respectively. As for the second-order materials used indirectly in lithium electricity, the output of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide reached 37000 tons and 29000 tons respectively from January to February, and the market price showed a high level and continued to rise. at the end of February, the price exceeded 480000 yuan / ton and 440000 yuan / ton respectively.

[researchers develop a new nano-coating to extend the service life of lithium batteries] researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia have developed a new nano-coating that can extend the life of lithium batteries and reduce the environmental hazards of waste batteries. The relevant papers have been published in the British journal Nature Communications.

[Canada to build the first full-scale commercial electric vehicle manufacturing plant] the federal government of Canada and the Ontario government announced on April 4 that they would inject more than C $500 million to promote General Motors to build Canada's first full-scale production plant for commercial electric vehicles. General Motors of Canada has launched a C $2 billion project to revamp and transform its two assembly plants in Ontario. Among them, the assembly plant in Ingersoll will become a full-scale commercial electric vehicle manufacturing plant, specializing in the production of electric light commercial vehicles. GM's first commercial electric vehicle, the EV600, which uses BrightDrop, an electronic freight distribution system, is expected to be put into production and commercialized at its Ingersoll plant by the end of this year.
