**10,000 powder incentive plan With the prominence of the new energy vehicle company "one brother" BYD, the power battery, the most core component of the new energy vehicle, has aroused heated discussions, and lithium ore as a raw material for power batteries has gradually entered the public's field of vision.

Lithium ore is the raw material for the production of lithium metal and its compounds, and lithium has become a new battery energy material because of its advantages of light weight, high negative potential and high energy density. The lithium electrochemical equivalent is second only to beryllium, which is the highest among commonly used battery materials, and the battery composed of lithium as the negative electrode has the electrical properties of high energy density and high battery voltage, and the discharge voltage is stable, the working temperature range is wide (-40 50), the low temperature performance is good, and the storage life is long, and the excellent performance is widely used in consumer electronics and new energy vehicle batteries.

At present, the largest application of lithium ore is in the field of batteries, lithium-ion batteries are not only used in portable computers, mobile communication equipment and small electronic devices, but also in recent years, new energy vehicles. With the rapid growth of demand for new energy vehicles, the demand for lithium in the global market is also rapid, even crazy.

As a pioneer in the battery field, BYD began to lay out upstream lithium resources when new energy vehicles were not yet popular. BYD strategically invested in the head enterprises of upstream lithium resources, personally went overseas to purchase high-quality lithium ore resources, built a joint venture, and gave priority to obtaining lithium ore rights through kinship with shareholders to solve the problem of lithium ore, the core material of the battery.

Therefore, lithium ore is the "oil" of the new energy era, and before the emergence of other alternative resources, lithium ore is undoubtedly a resource that attracts the most attention of capital in this era of new energy waves.
