China’s battery market, new materials, mainly lithium-based materials and solar cell materials. As the domestic fuel cells still need some time away from the large-scale applications, and domestic firms in the technology and production technology gap with international standards, domestic fuel cell materials, almost all imported. China has formed a relatively complete industrial chain of lithium batteries, lithium battery materials and accessories in the possession of certain advantages.

    In 2009, the traditional battery materials industry downstream mobile phones, laptops and power tools and other industry conditions continue to improve, to the industry a turn for the better. Benefit from the concept of new energy vehicles, the status of lithium-ion battery industry is better than Ni-MH battery. 2010, as nickel-hydrogen battery, the fuel cell before, lithium-ion batteries are rapidly jump up red. Lithium iron phosphate for bicycles, motorcycles and mobile phones, computers and digital products, technology has matured, the current low-power lithium-ion battery in China accounts for one-third more output, but the domestic manufacturers will be used in large lithium iron phosphate power output of the car are few. Car battery power costs account for the full cost of hybrid cars 30% to 50%, when the rise of new energy vehicles, lithium-ion battery and battery materials, explosive market growth expected to occur. Although lead-acid, nickel-hydrogen still present and led the next few years, but as cell phone lithium-ion batteries as quickly diverted Ni-MH battery, lithium ion battery will quickly seize the traditional battery market. Lithium iron phosphate material is newly developed lithium-ion battery materials. All kinds of lithium ion batteries from the current performance comparison shows that lithium iron phosphate is the most suitable for industrial use of electric vehicles, lithium-ion battery.

    Lithium iron phosphate is lithium revolution triggered a new material industry, is the development of the industry’s most cutting-edge lithium. Lithium iron phosphate, because of its advantages are widely used in hybrid vehicles, power tools, electric bicycles, electric bicycle, power generation, energy storage and other fields. Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) in the next few years, the main development of new energy vehicles direction. Hybrid vehicle production with increasing penetration of hybrid vehicles, iron phosphate lithium battery market will grow rapidly in 2010 hybrid cars lithium iron phosphate and market more than 100 billion yuan.

    Present in the lithium iron phosphate international leader in the field of mainly three are the United States of A123, Phostech Canada and the United States of Valence, to master the more sophisticated production techniques. The current capacity of the three major manufacturers about 4000 tons / year. Chinese enterprises have been launched since 2001, lithium iron phosphate material development, present, lithium iron phosphate industry, the domestic investment boom is on the rise, the trend more than any other country. As of 2009, there were 50-60 home appliance manufacturers will soon or have already completed the core product line acquisition, for capacity expansion, which has entered the industrial mass production to the market stability of supply enterprises in Tianjin strand, Peking University first, BYD , Hunan Shanshan new material 8, the rest are in the pilot phase in 2009, 2,500 tons of capacity under construction, all put into production, total production capacity of 5,000 tons in 2010, lithium iron phosphate production capacity continues to increase. Currently the annual domestic demand for the lithium iron phosphate is about 8,000 tons, less than actual sales in 2008 of 1,000 tons, in 2010 China’s annual demand of lithium iron phosphate will be more than 15,000 tons.

The  company’s 770 million yuan this order is to get solar silicon supply contract.
Tianjin Central Europe’s leading products FZ monocrystalline silicon  production and sales among the domestic counterparts of the first scale,  zone melting silicon 65% domestic market share. The company is currently  in Central shares our core assets in 2008, the company’s net profit  139000000 yuan, in 2009 by the financial crisis affected the net profit  to 13.49 million yuan Su Jian, and then losses at the parent company,  remained profitable.
Worry about next year’s deposit monocrystalline solar  “Although the company has announced such a large order, but the  situation remains unchanged in the first half of the expected good  performance!” 1 have been to stock research brokerage in Central  researcher to the “Daily Economic News” said that this year, the new  energy by foreign influence the policy of subsidies, solar silicon  market anomalies hot, but the performance of the company notice of  amendment of view, in the first half net profit of more than 1,000  million lower than expected, reflecting the company’s silicon side sales  contribution to performance is limited. Sony VGP-BPL8, Sony VGP-BPL8AVolume expansion after next year  are facing the risk of price fluctuations, particularly in Europe  declining state financial subsidies on the silicon market will be  affected seriously, before reduction in subsidies, solar cells, and  upstream product supply, while efforts to cut subsidies after may face  shrinking market, the risk of falling prices.
Central Share recent announcement revealed that gradually weakened as  the financial crisis, the steady rise of the semiconductor industry, the  company increased more than expected product sales, product gross  margins improved, thus enhancing the profits of the company … … is  expected to net profit for the first half of 1400 million ~ 16 million yuan.
Further analysis of these people, there’s no doubt that solar silicon  market is hot in short-term , but it may not have persistence.   Currently the company is seeking additional development, if successfully  completed,they should think of other ways
