"TNR Gold Team proudly congratulates the entire Ganfeng Lithium Team and the communities of Argentina on the successful completion of the first shipment of high-purity lithium chloride from the Mariana Lithium Project in Salta Province. This landmark export marks a significant achievement in the project's development and represents another key milestone for TNR Gold as we advance toward becoming a cash-flow-generating royalty company."
Today, you can learn more about lithium solid-state batteries and why they will be powering EVs and humanoid robots. Lithium chloride is the preferred chemical composition for converting lithium salt into lithium metal to use in lithium solid-state batteries.

And now humanoid robots are coming from labs into the factories and very soon into our houses and onto our streets. Morgan Stanley is talking about 1 billion of them by 2050 in their latest research, bringing a "$5 Trillion Market" with them.
"For all TNR Gold shareholders, it will be very interesting to note here that Lithium Chloride is the preferred Lithium chemical composition to convert into Lithium metal. Now, we can put all recent developments at Ganfeng Lithium and the Mariana Lithium Project into the perspective of this new battery technology. TNR Gold becomes "the critical material option play without time decay" on the advance of solid-state lithium batteries in the energy storage market for high-end applications, including electric cars and humanoid robots."

"Changan & Hyundai supplier Gangfeng Lithium reportedly began mass production of solid-liquid-state batteries with an energy density of 650 Wh/kg, utilizing a lithium alloy. The company is also in the sample production stage of all-solid-state packs.
Gangfeng Lithium was founded in China in 2000 as a manufacturer of lithium salt and batteries. In 2017, the company started supplying batteries for passenger electric cars. In 2023, Gangfeng Lithium signed an MOU with Changan Automobile. A similar agreement was reached with Hyundai a year later.
Recently, Gangfeng Lithium officials disclosed information about the company’s latest business developments. A lithium hybrid solid-liquid battery with an energy density of 400 – 650 Wh/kg became one of the company’s latest products, Autohome reports. Such a pack is currently used in non-automotive segments. However, there is a chance that such technology will be adopted by future BEVs.
Gangfeng Lithium achieved improved battery density using higher-performance positive and negative electrode materials. Company officials shared that lithium metal anodes with low potential and high capacity are crucial for creating a high-density battery.
At the moment, lithium batteries have become the industry standard worldwide. However, they have several drawbacks. Lithium dendrites could be easily formed in such packs, leading to short circuits. The lifespan of lithium batteries is relatively short. However, Gangfeng Lithium reportedly solved these problems by using alloyed lithium metal to improve electrochemical stability.
This multi-element alloy technology allowed Gangfeng Lithium to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites. At the same time, the company achieved a critical current density of 50 mA/cm² and areal capacity of 1 mAh/cm². Such battery packs meet the requirements of 3C fast charging. Lithium alloys form a framework to maintain contact between the electrode and electrolyte.
Another highlight of Gangfeng Lithium’s solid-liquid battery is a “zero-strain” lithium alloy anode, matched with a sulfur cathode. It achieves 3% – 5% volume expansion during charge and discharge. Such a battery also passed penetration and heating to 250 °C tests. The exothermic reaction between the alloy and sulfides is more than 90% lower than that of pure lithium.
As mentioned, these technologies were adopted by Gangfeng Lithium’s solid-liquid-state batteries. They haven’t been used on cars yet. However, the battery maker believes that such experience will help it to create all-solid-state batteries with lithium alloy anodes. The company has already reached the sample production stage. More about Gangfeng Lithium as we get it."
