Silicon anodes in the battery will extend its shelf life and power-retention capacity during charging

SHANGHAI, Oct 24 (SMM) – Huawei Consumer Business Group on Monday October 8 unveiled a patented lithium-silicon battery that would improve charging speeds and safety. The company is likely to use the battery in upcoming Huawei smartphones, Huawei said in a statement.

Silicon anodes in the lithium-silicon battery contain more power than graphite-based batteries. This extends the battery's shelf life and its power-retention capacity.

Huawei says that the battery has a 3D nitrogen carbon coating that can be synthesized at a low temperature and has a high conductivity that supports ultra-fast charging.

Unlike traditional fast-charging solutions, this ultra-fast technology employs a relatively low-voltage and high-current formula to maximise the amount of current entering the device while minimising efficiency and heat losses.

【Flash | A Perfect Storm of Supply Risks Keeps Molybdenum Oxide Near Recent Highs】

SMM learned that overseas mine production cuts, extreme weather in South America, and declining ore grades and recovery rates were intensively discussed during a recent industry association meeting. These concerns strengthened expectations of tighter overseas molybdenum supply, stimulated some buying and pushed molybdenum oxide prices to around $34/lb Mo. Supply-side expectations continue to support prices, while some mine production, grade and recovery issues may not improve materially until around 2028. China’s market also remains firm, but elevated prices are discouraging chasing. Well-funded buyers, low-inventory users and producers with firm orders continue to purchase as needed, while processors mainly restock to maintain production.
