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.

Lithium carbonate producers in China to be compelled to cut output in Q2

Inventory pressure of lithium carbonate, a raw material for digital and power batteries, may continue to mount in April as Chinese lithium salt producers have not yet planned to wind down production. Elevated inventories together with limited downsides in lithium carbonate prices with support from costs, however, may trigger output cut in the second quarter.

COVID-19 pandemic in Europe dampened demand outlook for cobalt and lithium materials

The widespread coronavirus has deterred production of NEVs in the European countries, and this may impact the global prospects for NEV production and take a toll on the consumption of raw materials. Last week, bearish sentiment continued to prevail in the cobalt market, which depressed downstream purchases and added to upstream inventory pressure. Sluggish demand reduced prices of battery-grade lithium carbonate, which were underpinned by costs, while fundamentals supported prices of industrial-grade lithium carbonate.
