Molybdenum market quotation in China: molybdenum powder and molybdenum bar prices maintain stability while ferro molybdenum price edges higher. On the one hand, the supply of molybdenum concentrate is tight, supporting most traders' rised mentality. Low-price resources are difficult to be purchased at present. 

A new type of rare earth heat-insulating glass coating that could block direct radiation when applied to glass and can also achieve thermal insulation, heat preservation, energy-saving, and other functions has been successfully released in Tianjin.

In MoS2 lithium battery electrode materials, Hefei Institutes of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASHIPS) has made a series of progress. Recently, the Bangchuan Zhao research group at the Functional Materials Research lab of the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has contributed progress in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) electrode materials. The relevant research results were published in ChemElectroChem, Nanoscale, and Small.

In the exploration and development of marine mineral resources such as deep-sea rare earths and natural gas hydrates, the undersea discovery plan of the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (Qingdao) has made major breakthroughs in 2019. The Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (Qingdao)'s 2019 Academic Annual Meeting, was held from January 11 to 12, took stock of the highlights of the past year.

Researchers develop the enhanced performance of poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) composite hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes by oxidized molybdenum disulfide (O-MoS2) nanosheets modification. Recently, Kaisong Zhang's research group published the result in the international journal Desalination and Water Treatment. Ph.D. student Qinliang Jiang is the first author, and researcher Kaisong Zhang is the corresponding author. This research was supported by the CAS Bureau of Frontier Sciences & Education and the Bureau Project of International Cooperation of the Chinese Academy Sciences.

Analysis of latest tungsten market from Chinatungsten Online

China tungsten prices are forecast to hold stable ahead of the lunar new year holiday at the end of January. But market participants continue to fear the impact of geopolitical uncertainty and its effect on global economic development and subsequently on spot demand and prices.

On tungsten diselenide (WSe2), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and graphene to produce ultra-thin dielectrics for developing a new design strategy for manufacturing 2-D electronic devices. Two-dimensional semiconductors can have very useful applications, especially as channel materials for low-power transistors. These materials exhibit extremely high mobility at extremely high thicknesses, which makes them highly promising alternatives to silicon in the manufacture of electronics.

Recovering valuable cobalt lithium metal from used lithium battery materials has become a vital way to reduce battery costs and ensure the supply of raw materials. Recently, Canada's Li-Cycle Corp has reported its first shipment of commercially recycled battery material from its facility in Ontario. The company says it is one of the few companies globally capable of recovering critical battery materials from lithium-ion batteries in a sustainable and safe manner.

Foxconn opto-mechanical's high-end tungsten steel project successfully settled in Jincheng Park. Jincheng Industrial Fund and other companies jointly completed the first phase of the project to invest 80 million yuan to promote the city's cooperation with the group to cultivate the optical mechanical and electrical industry, create a smart manufacturing brand and the "World Optics Valley" in Shanxi province, as well as promote high-quality transformation.

The world's first semi-solid lithium-ion battery architecture will be used in Japanese electronics company Kyocera's new launching Enerezza residential storage fleet, which can greatly improve the economics of the battery and accelerate the price revolution of battery energy storage. It will be the first company to bring this technology to market, according to foreign media reports.
