China has been incorporating the development of advanced battery technologies, particularly lithium-ion battery technologies, in the Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development (from 6th to 14th), and the continuous investments have enabled China to become the leading country to produce Li-ion batteries.
As the rapid growth of the electric vehicle market in recent years has significantly increased the use of lithium batteries, China will face a rapidly increasing battery retirement situation in the next few years and become one of the largest markets for lithium-ion battery recycling.
Although Chinese enterprises such as Zijin Mining and Ganfeng Lithium have begun to invest in lithium resource development projects in many countries around the world, most of the projects are still in early development, which cannot ease China’s high dependence on foreign lithium resources in the short term.
At present, China is confronted with three main challenges in lithium resources: insufficient resource endowment and exploitation, insufficient ability to participate in the formulation of lithium resource prices, and realization of its aspirations regarding the circular economy of lithium resources.
And because of the protection, as well as the efforts to domesticalise the battery value chain, the huge Chinese market was effectively restricted to domestic firms, and hence they could invest more in R&D and technology development and capture more added value (F2, F3).
Regarding knowledge development and exchange (F2 and F3), Chinese battery enterprises have increased their R&D expenditure, leading to several technological breakthroughs as well as increasing domesticalization of the key technologies in the four core battery components (anodes, cathodes, electrolytes, and separators) (Gov.cn, 2020).
