[4.2 Lithium Express] Tianqi Lithium Industry has become a member of Chile's National Mining Association. Chen Shihua of China Automobile Association: the "demon price" of lithium should be killed to guarantee a stable price.

[Shenzhen Xinxing: lithium hexafluorophosphate second production line is expected to be installed and debugged in April 2022] Shenzhen Xinxing said on the interactive platform that the second production line of lithium hexafluorophosphate is expected to be installed and debugged in April 2022.

[Xiangxin Technology: the products currently supplied for power battery enterprises can be applied to lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries] Xiangxin Technology said on the interactive platform that the products currently supplied to power battery enterprises can be used in lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries.

[Tianyong Intelligence: signed Intelligent Manufacturing Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with China Science and Technology New Century] Tianyong Intelligence announcement signed the "Intelligent Manufacturing Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement" with China Science and Technology New Century. The two sides carry out cooperation in new energy lithium batteries, energy storage batteries and intelligent equipment in the field of new energy vehicles.

[Tianqi Lithium Industry becomes a member of Chile's National Mining Association] recently, the Chilean National Mining Association (Sonami) announced the formal approval of Tianqi Lithium Industry as a member of the association. Sonami brings together a number of large, medium and small metal and non-metal mining companies, including SQM, Albemarle and other internationally renowned mining companies. With regard to the accession of Tianqi lithium industry, Diego Hern á ndez, president of Sonami, said that he is very pleased to have a new important partner in the mining field, and hopes to carry out in-depth and concrete cooperation with Tianqi lithium industry.

[Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD: skyrocketing raw material prices are a challenge for the industry to overcome] on April 1, the online presentation of BYD's 2021 annual report was held. Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, said: "the current sharp rise in raw material prices is a challenge for the industry to overcome. It is proposed to comprehensively sort out the distribution and production capacity of lithium carbonate resources, increase domestic production and foreign imports, maintain market supply and demand, and stabilize price expectations. promote the healthy and safe development of the industry." Safety is the cornerstone of the development of new energy vehicles, and cost is an important indicator that must be faced. Wang Chuanfu believes that some things may be a little more expensive at the beginning, but as long as they are scaled up, the cost will come down. When the performance of the new energy vehicle crosses a certain threshold, the importance of the energy density of the power battery decreases, and the most important indicators are safety, cost, cycle life and so on. Wang Chuanfu said that it is impossible for China to be stuck by oil in the era of fuel trucks to cobalt, nickel and other metals in the era of electric cars. Lithium iron phosphate does not contain rare metals, which is more consistent with the acceptability of social resources.

Chen Shihua, deputy secretary general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, wrote in Automotive Zongheng magazine that over the past two years, the COVID-19 epidemic and the tight supply of chips have put great pressure on the automobile industry, and at present, there are signs of insufficient kinetic energy of automobile consumption in the market. although the industry believes that there should be some growth this year, it still faces many difficulties in accomplishing the target for the whole year. There must be a "demon" when prices rise at this time. The abnormal price of lithium material has attracted the attention of all parties. As an industry organization, the China Automobile Association pays close attention to the price changes of power battery raw materials and timely reports the relevant situation to the competent government departments. Recently, the Department of Raw material Industry and the first Department of equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in conjunction with the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Price Supervision and Inspection Bureau of the General Administration of Market Supervision and the Bureau of Anti-unfair Competition, specially organized and held symposiums on the operation of the lithium industry and the price increase of upstream materials for power batteries to ensure supply and stabilize prices.
