Europe's Path to Sustainable Development

EU Circular Economy Action Plan

European Green Deal and Critical Raw Materials Act

Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)

EU Battery Regulation

Challenges in Battery Innovation

From Module to Pack Design

Batteries Can Be Easily Repaired by Replacing Modules

Battery Cell to Battery Pack/Auto Body/Chassis Design

Batteries, due to their direct connection method, are difficult to repair. Therefore, the repairability of batteries is currently a fundamental and critical issue in the development of NEVs.

Debonding, Facilitating Sustainable Mobility

Leading Position of Adhesive Technology in Various Industries and Technical Fields

Mobility and Electronics Industry:Applicable to automotive OEMs and components, electric mobility, metal coils, electronics, semiconductor packaging, aerospace, industrial assembly, etc.;

Packaging and Consumer Goods:Food and beverage, hygiene, metal and flexible packaging, sports and fashion.

Craftsmen, Construction, and Professionals:DIY, craftsmen, construction, engineered wood, professional users in manufacturing and maintenance.

H-TDL Solutions

Principle: The peelable layer foams when heated, thus weakening the structure

The temperature of the battery cell during the peeling process is maintained below 60°C

►The peeling layer also acts as thermal insulation for the battery cell during expansion

►Irreversible mechanism: The battery stack can be directly removed after heating or substrate cooling

Electrically Triggered Weak Boundary Layer

During battery use, the structural level exhibits a strong bond state, and it is easy to debond using electricity at the end of its service life or repair life.

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.

SMM Daily Review: Spot lithium carbonate prices continued to edge up slightly on September 22

Today, SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate spot prices continued to edge up slightly from the previous trading day. The lithium carbonate 2701 contract opened higher today at 132,500 yuan/mt. After the open, bears briefly held the advantage, and prices consolidated lower, hitting a low of 130,200 yuan/mt. Subsequently, bargain hunting emerged at lows, and prices gradually rebounded. Around midday, bulls concentrated their efforts, and prices shot up rapidly to the day's high of 135,300 yuan/mt. In the afternoon, prices consolidated at highs, fluctuating repeatedly around 134,000 yuan/mt. Near the close, prices pulled back slightly, ultimately closing up 2.53% at 134,400 yuan/mt. Open interest was basically flat (up slightly by 84 lots). In the spot market, downstream buyers continued to purchase as needed at lows, but as prices drifted higher, buying enthusiasm turned more cautious. Upstream lithium chemical plants maintained their stance of holding prices firm and holding back from selling for spot orders. Overall, both market inquiries and actual transaction pace slowed down. On the news and sentiment front, the continued destocking of warrants, combined with confidence in short-term demand resilience, shifted sentiment from earlier pessimism to a slightly more positive tone, driving prices to drift higher.
