Group 1: Report Overview - Report Name: Carbonate Lithium Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: September 17, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Zhang Ping, Yu Feifei, Peng Jinglin [3] - Research Team: Non-ferrous Metals Research Team [4] Group 2: Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Market Performance: Carbonate lithium futures rose and then fell. The market continued to trade on the anti-involution signal released by the article "Deeply Promote the Construction of a National Unified Market" in Qiushi, but the upward momentum was limited without specific policies. The total open interest decreased while the total trading volume increased slightly, indicating an increasing willingness of funds to leave the market [11]. - Spot Price: The spot price of electric carbon increased by 400 to 72,850. The premium of the futures price over the spot price widened. As the Double Festival approaches, downstream buyers have a demand for stocking up at low prices, which supports the spot price of carbonate lithium [11]. - Raw Material Price: The price of Australian ore increased by 10 to $820 per ton, and the price of lithium mica increased by 40 to 1,815 yuan per ton. The production loss of salt plants using purchased lithium spodumene narrowed to 3,280 yuan per ton, while the production loss of salt plants using purchased lithium mica widened to 7,539 yuan per ton [11]. - Supply and Demand: Although salt plants are currently operating at a loss, it does not affect their production enthusiasm. The weekly production of carbonate lithium last week was close to the historical high, and the supply pressure remains. The demand is in the peak season. The short-term focus is on the mineral type change of the mines in production in Yichun by the end of the month and the resumption progress of the Jianxiaowo Mine. Before the variables at the mine end are settled, the market sentiment is still difficult to make a clear directional choice [11]. Group 3: Industry News - Production Capacity Upgrade: On September 16, Salt Lake Co., Ltd. (000792.SZ) stated on the investor interaction platform that the original annual production capacity of 30,000 tons of carbonate lithium in Lanke Lithium Industry has been increased to 40,000 tons after technological upgrading. The company will continue to benchmark against the industry's advanced level to further improve resource extraction and utilization efficiency and promote high-quality industrial development [12]. - Battery Technology: Fuan Technology stated on the interaction platform that its third-generation semi-solid-state battery introduces solid electrolytes into the positive and negative electrodes and uses in-situ solidification technology to further reduce the electrolyte content in the battery cells. It is planned to be mass-produced in 2026. The energy density of the current soft-pack battery cells has reached 400Wh/kg. The reduction of electrolyte and the introduction of solid oxide electrolytes are beneficial to improving the safety of the battery cells. The compatibility of solid electrolytes with high-energy-density active materials helps to ultimately achieve a high-safety all-solid-state battery with an energy density of over 500Wh/kg [12].
