Understanding lithium demand, page-363

I dont understand why Tianqi paid USD$4.1B for 23.77% of SQM; Huayou investing USD743m in Indonesia for nickel.

Mr Chen, you should know next generation of EV batteries, lithium solid state batteries are coming, Although 811 is very popular now but we should be forward looking.

All imo.

Toyota solid state battery will be enlarged in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics will be opened, and just recently Toyota announced a plan to debut its solid-state battery electric car at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. According to Toyota, solid-state batteries are a perfect technology, with current electric Compared to lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries are safer and more durable. Toyota said it is working hard to make solid-state batteries a large-scale commercial promotion of the Tokyo Olympics.



According to Toyota's current plan, in 2025, all of Toyota's models, including Lexus models, will be completely converted into new energy-enhancing models, and at the same time, the goal of selling about 5.5 million new energy vehicles will be achieved in 2030, while targeting China and With Europe's increasingly stringent emissions requirements, Toyota plans to start producing electric vehicles in China next year, with the goal of launching at least 10 electric vehicles worldwide by the beginning of 2020, without giving up hybrid technology.



In order to achieve this goal, Toyota has expanded its electric vehicle market. It has also joined several Japanese companies and Chinese companies, such as Toyota and Subaru to develop an EV-specific platform (e-TNGA) and a pure electric mid-size SUV. And Suzuki, Daihatsu to develop the small passenger car market, and cooperation with BYD in vehicle production have been confirmed, and has begun to develop new models, it is reported that Toyota and BYD new models are expected to adopt BYD BNA architecture, and battery technology and Ningde The times have cooperated.



What kind of solid-state battery, solid-state battery is also a lithium battery, first of all, the advantages of solid-state lithium battery: light and high energy density, thin and smaller, and at the same time more safe, but the disadvantage is that the cost is much higher than the current lithium battery, Technically, it uses a relatively safe battery technology, its electrolyte is solid, and now electric lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion polymer batteries are popular lithium-ion batteries, although liquid lithium batteries are relatively mature and widely used, but The activity of lithium ions makes lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion polymer batteries very dangerous. At the same time, because the scientific community believes that the capacity of liquid lithium batteries has not been greatly improved, the energy density of lithium batteries has reached the limit. As early as 2010, Toyota has introduced solid-state power with a cruising range of more than 1000KM, and efforts including QuantumScape and Sakti3 are also trying to replace traditional liquid lithium batteries with solid-state batteries.
