Nickel is mined from two ore types: laterites, often found near the equator; and sulphides, found particularly in Canada, Russia and Australia. Both are used to produce nickel sulphate needed for cathode materials in nickel-containing batteries, such as Li-Ion batteries.
nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), silicon (Si) and zinc (Zn). Of these materials, antimony, present in lead–acid batteries in vehicles and energy storage, and cobalt plus natural graphite, used in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, are marked as critical in the 2017 list of critical raw materials.
11.1. Introduction Nickel-based batteries, including nickel-iron, nickel-cadmium, nickel-zinc, nickel hydrogen, and nickel metal hydride batteries, are similar in the way that nickel hydroxide electrodes are utilised as positive plates in the systems.
The long-term supply of battery raw materials will therefore be a necessity. There are concerns regarding the future availability of raw material supply and the impact of rising prices on battery production costs.
Graphite is used as the anode material in lithium-ion batteries. It has the highest proportion by volume of all the battery raw materials and also represents a significant percentage of the costs of cell production.
However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials. Australia and Canada are the two countries with the greatest potential to provide additional and low-risk supply to the EU for almost all battery raw materials.
In all the scenarios, the electric vehicle (EV) plays an important role, creating a significant need for battery raw materials. Consequently, there are concerns about the future supply of raw materials necessary for battery production and the impact of rising prices on battery production costs.
