[iron phosphate: Chanhen iron phosphate patent] Recently, Guizhou Chanhen Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. announced a patent for "a method of preparing an iron phosphate precursor for LFP." The process first involves purifying the byproduct ferrous sulphate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide using a hydrolysis-based impurity removal principle. After oxidizing the purified ferrous ions to ferric ions, they react with phosphate salts to form amorphous iron phosphate. By controlling different crystallization conditions, slurries of dihydrate iron phosphate with varying particle sizes are obtained. These slurries are then mixed in specific proportions, filtered, washed, and dried to produce anhydrous iron phosphate. This method optimizes powder stacking efficiency, reduces inter-particle voids, and produces more compact iron phosphate, which is used to prepare LFP with high compaction density.

[SMM Flash] Supply tightness caused by the Hormuz situation continued to escalate, driving sulfur prices higher.

As of June 10, market sources indicated that the transaction price for China spot sulfur broke through 10,000 yuan/mt on the day. SMM EXW Shandong Sulfur quotation range was 9,307-10,000 yuan/mt, while SMM CIF Indonesia Sulfur quotation range was $1,250-1,300/mt, with the price center continuing to shift upward. The supply-side tightness remained unchanged, and short-term prices still faced upward pressure.

China's NEVs Are Going on a Diet

Data shows that in 2024, the average curb weight of China's passenger cars reached 1,704 kg, nearly 400 kg heavier than in 2012. Additionally, around the year 2000, common household NEVs on the market mostly had a width of around 1.7 meters. In 2015, the width increased to 1.8 meters. This week, household vehicles that often weigh close to 2 tons are sparking discussions due to their growing size and weight. Automaker engineers state that for every 10 mm increase in the width of an NEV's auto body, approximately 0.8 kWh more electricity can be packed in. However, experts say that vehicles becoming "fatter" is not solely due to this reason. Experts explain: Some automakers use driving range as a selling point, claiming that their cars can travel 800 or 1,000 kilometers on a single charge. In fact, behind this is the need to install a large battery pack inside the vehicle, which may weigh 700 to 800 kg. On January 1 this year, a mandatory national standard for EVs was officially implemented. For any new car model failing to meet energy consumption standards, the MIIT will not grant registration; the vehicle cannot be produced, sold, or licensed, guiding automakers to curb the growing trend of "obesity" in EVs. In the future, NEVs may hopefully return to standard dimensions.
