This comparison underscores the importance of selecting a battery chemistry based on the specific requirements of the application, balancing performance, cost, and safety considerations. Among the six leading Li-ion battery chemistries, NMC, LFP, and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) are recognized as superior candidates.
Li-ion batteries come in various compositions, with lithium-cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium-manganese oxide (LMO), lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP), lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC), and lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminium oxide (NCA) being among the most common. Graphite and its derivatives are currently the predominant materials for the anode.
Minerals make up the bulk of materials used to produce parts within the cell, ensuring the flow of electrical current: Lithium: Acts as the primary charge carrier, enabling energy storage and transfer within the battery. Cobalt: Stabilizes the cathode structure, improving battery lifespan and performance.
The most critical battery raw materials currently include lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and graphite. Demand for these raw materials is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, with the World Bank forecasting that demand for lithium in 2050 will be up to five times the level it was in 2018.
