Recently, Shanxi Xiang'an Energy Technology Co., Ltd. published the environmental impact assessment draft for public comment for its annual production of 30,000 mt of sodium-ion battery materials project. The project is located in the Fuyang Industrial Park, Xiangyuan Economic and Technological Development Zone, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province. The main part of the project and associated utilities include the construction of two production lines for sodium-ion battery cathode materials and one production line for anode materials, along with supporting pure water preparation, air compression systems, nitrogen generation systems, dehumidification systems, and cooling water circulation systems. The processes adopted include: pretreatment (mixing + sand milling + iron removal + spray drying), sagger loading, vibration leveling, grid insertion + sintering, and final treatment (jet milling + batch mixing + sieving + packaging). Once operational, the project will produce 25,000 mt of sodium-ion battery cathode materials and 5,000 mt of anode materials annually. The total investment of the project is 534 million yuan, with an environmental protection investment of 3.64 million yuan, accounting for 0.68%.

[SMM Cobalt Morning Meeting Summary] Post-holiday demand recovery limited, cost support weakening, material prices under pressure

The cobalt industry chain remained weak after the holiday, with sluggish demand and lower costs jointly weighing on prices. Refined cobalt consolidated at lows, traders raised spot-futures price spreads, and downstream buying remained primarily need-based restocking. Trading in intermediate products stalled, with a clear gap between the floor purchase price of $14.5/lb and downstream acceptance prices below $13/lb. Cobalt sulphate offers held near 60,000 yuan/mt, but transactions were difficult, and a lower raw material coefficient further weakened cost support. Cobalt chloride and Co3O4 continued to grind lower, enterprises expanded production cuts and suspensions, and new procurement was insufficient. Leading cobalt powder offers fell to around 360,000 yuan/mt, while small and medium-sized enterprises dropped to 330,000–340,000 yuan/mt, with downstream high-priced inventory dragging on purchases. Ternary cathode precursor prices weakened, export orders were relatively strong, domestic production schedule recovery was limited, and spot order coefficients were expected to trend lower. Ternary cathode materials consolidated at lows, battery cell manufacturers held ample inventory and restocked cautiously; LCO was pressured by both falling costs and weak demand. Going forward, close attention should be paid to end-user order recovery, inventory destocking, and the sustainability of restocking.

[SMM Cobalt-Lithium Morning Meeting Summary] Post-holiday lithium chemical trends diverge; LFP demand improves, materials market under pressure

Post-holiday battery materials market trends diverged. Lithium ore quotes rebounded slightly, trade inventories were destocked, and ore prices are expected to consolidate in line with lithium carbonate in the short term. Lithium carbonate futures retreated after a rapid rise, closing at 117,300 yuan/mt, down 1.28%; domestic production declined, downstream inventories were significantly destocked, and salt plants continued to ship mainly under long-term contracts. Lithium hydroxide spot order quotes rose to 130,000–140,000 yuan/mt, but purchasing was cautious and transactions were sluggish. Cobalt products and nickel sulphate remained under pressure, cost support weakened, and demand recovery for ternary cathode materials was limited. LFP orders were relatively strong, leading production lines were near full capacity, finished product inventories declined, and the average price rose to 50,400 yuan/mt; resistance to iron phosphate price increases grew. Artificial graphite had strong cost support, separators were driven by NEV, energy storage, and export rush demand, with a tight supply-demand balance; electrolytes rose due to earlier cost pass-through. In the recycling market, inquiries recovered, but transactions had yet to pick up volume. Going forward, attention should be paid to the sustainability of restocking, the realization of production schedules, and changes in raw material prices.
