According to statistics from China Chemical and Physical Power Supply Industry Association, China's export volume and export value of lithium-ion batteries have continued to increase. In 2021, China's exports of lithium-ion batteries were 3.428 billion, with a year-on-year growth of 54.34%. The export of lithium-ion batteries was 28.428 billion DOLLARS, up 78.34% year on year. 

From the battery export destination, so far. China's lithium-ion batteries are mainly exported to the Asia Pacific and the United States and other places. In terms of price, the price of lithium stearate powder, led by lithium-ion batteries, is expected to expand globally. 

What is lithium stearate?
Lithium stearate, C17H35COOLi, is a lithium salt of stearic acid and is one of the metal soaps. This colorless, almost insoluble powder in water and alcohol, with a melting point of 220°C, is mainly used in the production of greases and waxes from oils. The resulting grease is thermally stable at temperatures up to about 150°C and remains lubricated as low as -20°C. Until the success of lithium-ion batteries, this is the largest quantitative application of lithium metal. 
Small amounts of lithium stearate are also used to make pencils. The compound has extremely low toxicity when administered orally, which is why it is also used in cosmetics. 
 
What is lithium stearate used for? 
It is used as a general-purpose grease to provide high water resistance. Because it can be applied at both high and low temperatures, lithium stearate is used in many industries, from the automotive industry to the heavy machinery industry and even the aerospace industry.  As a general-purpose grease, lithium stearate is also used as a stabilizer in the cosmetic and plastics industries. Because of its properties, the compound can also be used as a corrosion inhibitor in petroleum. 
 
The following are the application areas of lithium stearate: 
It can be used as a thickener for natural synthetic oils. 
It facilitates the manufacture of lightweight metal molds. 
It is a fine, thicker grease, well suited for high-temperature applications. 
It can improve the melting point and enhance the elasticity of microcrystalline wax. 
Because lithium stearate has a higher melting point than conventional sodium and potassium soaps (22°C compared to 140°C), it is more resistant to loss of consistency. 
It has amazing rust and corrosion resistance. 
Although it's water-repellent, lithium stearate works better in other types of environments. 
This is a great sealant.
 
What is lithium grease? 
Lithium grease was invented in the early 1940s. It's made from lithium hydroxide reacting with fatty acids. Modern lithium soaps (thickeners) consist of 12HSA (12-hydroxystearic acid, or triglyceride) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate in a base liquid. 
Grease is one of the oldest lubricants used by humans, dating back to 1400BC. It reduces friction, is waterproof, and provides a seal. More than 90% of bearings use grease as a lubricant.
The base oil may be mineral oil or synthetic fluid, or a mixture of either or both. Many fats and fatty acids are suitable for making lithium soap. However, 12HSA and HCO (hydrogenated castor oil) are preferred. Lithium 12-hydroxy stearate grease is probably the best multi-purpose grease ever made.
Lithium grease has excellent water resistance (not as good as calcium), excellent mechanical or shear stability, excellent thermal stability, and excellent storage stability. As well as a continuous operating temperature of 130°C (266°F) and a drop point of 190-200°C. It is the most favored bearing grease in almost all industrial fields.
