Some conclusions and prospects are proposed about the future nickel metal supply for lithium-ion batteries, which is expected to provide guidance for nickel metal supply in the future, particularly in the application of high nickel cathodes in lithium-ion batteries.
We forecast that the future for nickel use in batteries is bright. This growth is driven by increasing EV sales, particularly in China, enlarging battery size and raising nickel intensities. CRU believes that the share of NCA and NCM in in battery cathode will grow to 84% by 2030.
Nickel and cobalt in particular have been used in many lithium-ion batteries, especially those in electric vehicles. Nickel is used to increase the energy density of the battery and cobalt is used to stabilize it, Lee said. However, increasing the nickel content in the battery can only increase the battery's energy density by so much.
The major advantage of using nickel in batteries is that it helps deliver higher energy density and greater storage capacity at a lower cost. Further advances in nickel-containing battery technology mean it is set for an increasing role in energy storage systems, helping make the cost of each kWh of battery storage more competitive.
These batteries power our EVs and are crucial components in various modern technologies. Among the key ingredients of lithium-ion batteries, nickel stands out due to its unique properties. Its energy density and capacity retention make it essential in EV battery manufacturing.
Using nickel in car batteries offers greater energy density and storage at lower cost, delivering a longer range for vehicles, currently one of the restraints to EV uptake. 1. Reuters 2.
