This article explores the primary raw materials used in the production of different types of batteries, focusing on lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride, and solid-state batteries. 1. Lithium-Ion Batteries
We assess the global material demand for light-duty EV batteries for Li, Ni, and Co, as well as for manganese (Mn), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), graphite, and silicon (Si) (for model details, see Supplementary Fig. 1).
Table 9.1 Typical raw material requirements (Li, Co, Ni and Mn) for three battery cathodes in kg/kWh Batteries with lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathodes typically require approximately 0.11 kg/kWh of lithium and 0.96 kg/kWh of cobalt (Table 9.1).
The report lays the foundation for integrating raw materials into technology supply chain analysis by looking at cobalt and lithium— two key raw materials used to manufacture cathode sheets and electrolytes—the subcomponents of light-duty vehicle (LDV) lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells from 2014 through 2016.
The demand for battery raw materials has surged dramatically in recent years, driven primarily by the expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) and the growing need for energy storage solutions.
The global supply chain for battery materials is notably concentrated, particularly in China, which dominates processing and refining stages. This concentration creates vulnerabilities and risks related to geopolitical tensions, trade policies, and market fluctuations.
