CIBF 2023: BASF powers the future of e-mobility with advanced cathode-active materials and broad chemical innovations

At the China International Battery Fair (CIBF) 2023, BASF and BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. (BASF: 51%; Shanshan: 49%) present a broad portfolio of chemical innovations, including customized innovative cathode active materials and recycling solutions. With the vision of powering a net-zero future for electromobility, BASF is active in batteries at different levels of the value chain and has established close collaborations with customers and partners to make battery more powerful, more reliable and more affordable.

Riding on the boom of China's electric vehicle industry, CIBF has become one of the world’s largest trade fairs for the battery industry. The wide range of exhibits covering the entire value chain makes CIBF an important business platform that attracts audiences around the world.

As a leading producer of battery materials with local production capacities in the three main markets of Asia, Europe and North America, BASF has in-depth expertise in battery chemistry and a strong global presence to help customers grow their business and achieve success in different regions. In China, BASF Shanshan already has a strong position in the battery materials value chain including raw materials, precursor cathode active materials (PCAM), cathode active materials (CAM) and battery recycling.
