Present technology of fabricating Lithium-ion battery materials has been extensively discussed. A new strategy of Lithium-ion battery materials has mentioned to improve electrochemical performance. The global demand for energy has increased enormously as a consequence of technological and economic advances.
However, there are still key obstacles that must be overcome in order to further improve the production technology of LIBs, such as reducing production energy consumption and the cost of raw materials, improving energy density, and increasing the lifespan of batteries .
Battery Materials Review tracks companies exploring for and developing orebodies containing key raw materials to manufacture batteries, such as Cobalt, Graphite, Lithium, Manganese, Nickel, REE and Vanadium.
The global demand for raw materials for batteries such as nickel, graphite and lithium is projected to increase in 2040 by 20, 19 and 14 times, respectively, compared to 2020. China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified.
Lithium and other key metals are shaping the future of battery technology. This article is from The Spark, MIT Technology Review's weekly climate newsletter. To receive it in your inbox every Wednesday, sign up here. I was chatting with a group recently about which technology is the most crucial one to address climate change.
One of the most important considerations affecting the production technology of LIBs is the availability and cost of raw materials. Lithium, cobalt, and nickel are essential components of LIBs, but their availability and cost can significantly impact the overall cost of battery production [16, 17].
