The sodium-ion battery cathode, anode and electrolyte tender organized by CNTC International Tendering opened on July 9, with results published on July 10. The NFPP cathode and hard-carbon anode lots failed because each had only one valid bidder.
Huzhou Kunlun Yienke Battery Materials was named first candidate for the electrolyte lot with a bid of RMB 4.1408 million, or RMB 25.88 per kilogram including tax. Langu (Zibo) New Energy ranked second. These are candidate results; the final purchase depends on the award notice and contract.
