Electronic Components reports that Shanghai Shanshan Science and Technology Co. Ltd.'s lithium-ion battery carbon cathode material project has entered the mass-production stage.

The project is listed as the first national high-tech industrialization project at the Ningbo Shanshan Science and Technology Park and one of the mainland's 863 national projects. A total of Rmbl50 million ($18.09 million at Rmb8.29:$1) was invested in this project, which is expected to produce 800 tons of Li-ion battery carbon cathode materials every year. With a 1,000-ton annual capacity, Shanghai Shanshan could emerge as one of China's largest carbon cathode material suppliers. The company has also obtained an independent intellectual property right for this cathode material, which meets international standards.

Shanghai Shanshan researches and produces CMS and CMP Li-ion battery carbon cathode materials. It began producing 300 tons of CMS a year in December 2000, after the completion of its first phase of development. The company also manufactures 300 tons of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO^sub 2^) and 500 tons of electrolyte copper foils for Liion batteries every year.
