Understanding constraints within the raw battery material supply chain is essential for making informed decisions that will ensure the battery industry’s future success. The primary limiting factor for long-term mass production of batteries is mineral extraction constraints.
Elemental analysis of battery materials — including cathode (various types and material composition), anode (mostly high-purity graphite), electrolyte mixture (salts, solvents and additives), and other compounds — is essential to ensure overall quality of production.
This paper emphasises the battery raw material supply chain challenges from a mineral extraction perspective. Available mineral resources, constraints in production capacities, and timelines for extraction rate ramp-up to meet growing metal demand will be explored from a bottom-up approach.
In lithium-ion batteries proportion and content of the main elements in the ternary cathode material — such as nickel, cobalt and manganese — can affect the performance and cost of the lithium battery significantly, and the content of impurities in the ternary material alters the safety of the battery.
A lot of testing of Northvolt’s battery systems is done outside the lab and around the world, after their batteries are deployed. By getting the data of on-the-job batteries, Northvolt gets better insights on the batteries’ performance that help its engineers understand and eventually improve them.
The validation test data we get from NI systems enables our engineering teams to learn more about our batteries and find ways to improve them even after they’re in the field. Using this approach and data-driven technologies, Northvolt can test batteries beyond safety and quality, to ensure they are sustainable, traceable, and recyclable.
