EC 231-102-5
Also known as Li.
chemXplore tracks 10 projects producing lithium, of which 4 are active.
Of the active ones, 4 new construction.
Upstream work finished at a 4,000 m Argentina site, raising commercial carbonate output to 48,000 t/year and enabling a 50,000 t/year lithium hydroxide system when linked to a 2027 downstream plant.
Long-term deal more than doubles prior volumes, expands supply from NCA to LFP, LMO and synthetic graphite, and secures non‑PFE materials for buyers.
Moving from startup to series production via a fabless model and long-term manufacturing deal; regional European manufacturing and sodium‑ion chemistry aim to reduce lithium dependence.
Highlights binders, PVDF and thermal/safety materials for EV and stationary batteries; 15% PVDF capacity expansion completed in June 2026; visit Booth #2714 Oct 12–15 in Detroit.
Site and infrastructure works accelerate at Dunkirk gigafactory; electrical grid connection, supplier qualification and local talent programmes are advancing.
Priority access to a new Gen4 inorganic solid‑state cell; Mercedes will run electrical, thermal and safety trials to assess suitability for future EV platforms.
Validated cold‑start to −40°C and multi‑segment testing support move from technology development to pilot‑scale and small‑series production readiness.
Assessment finds no need to revise current recycling efficiency and material recovery targets; calls for continued monitoring and sets next review by 18 August 2031.
Existing partner shifts collaboration from industrial projects to capital participation, advancing plans for next‑generation battery module manufacturing in Japan for heavy‑duty electrification.
24 abstracts at Psych Congress will report Phase 3 CAPLYTA data in bipolar mania, SPRAVATO analyses on anhedonia, seltorexant MDD+insomnia results, and LAI real‑world studies.
chemXplore tracks 7 plants producing lithium in 4 countries.
