Liding Materials Launches EIA for 300,000 mt LFP Project in Sichuan, China

The global lithium battery anode material industry is experiencing a clear recovery in sentiment. Data from the Power Battery Application Branch showed that in mid-August, the price of mid-end artificial graphite anode material reached 28,300 yuan/mt, up nearly 30% from the bottom of 22,000 yuan/mt in 2025; the price of high-end products reached over 48,500 yuan/mt, up over 10% from the bottom of 43,000 yuan/mt at the end of last year. In H2 of this year, the pace of anode material capacity construction in China has also accelerated notably.

Battery Network's incomplete statistics show that in July 2026, there were 32 publicly announced new investment projects in the new energy battery entire industry chain, of which 26 projects disclosed their investment amounts, with a total investment of 62.792 billion yuan and an average investment of 2.415 billion yuan per project, basically maintaining the average level of monthly investment expansion.

[Solid-State Battery: Qinghai 3,000 mt/year Lithium Sulfide Project Completes Filing] On August 10, 2026, the Online Approval and Supervision Platform for Investment Projects in Qinghai Province showed that Qinghai Weixiang Technology Co., Ltd.'s 3,000 mt/year lithium sulfide project completed the filing of an enterprise investment project. The project is located on the north side of Hanhai Road, Kunlun Economic Development Zone, Golmud City, Qinghai Province, with a total investment of 81.319 million yuan. It mainly involves building a 3,000 mt/year lithium sulfide production line and related supporting facilities, to be implemented in two phases (Phase I: 500 mt/year, Phase II: 2,500 mt/year), and is also capable of producing 10,000 mt of lithium sulfate. It is planned to be completed in July 2027. The core technology, "preparation of high-purity lithium sulfide by high-temperature low-pressure method," has been granted a national invention patent, jointly developed by Qinghai Weixiang Technology and the Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
