For instance, the price of cobalt—used in CAMs such as NMC, NCA, and LCO—quadrupled between March 2016 and March 2018, after which it has since decreased by about a third [25, 26]. Trends such as these show that the costs of raw CAM metals cannot be assumed to remain constant, and thus neither can the costs of the CAMs themselves.
In fact, roughly 50% of the world’s produced cobalt is used in rechargeable batteries [ 52 ]. This is complimented by findings from an OECD study and the Critical Materials Strategy by the US Department of Energy [ 53, 54, 55 ].
While nickel can be viewed as a strategic substitute for cobalt in batteries in order to increase energy densities while decreasing price, it is thus important to be aware of potential future issues with nickel supply and to examine the effect that price fluctuations could have on the battery market. 5.
In NMC cathode materials, cobalt plays a crucial role in enhancing thermal stability by maintaining the structural integrity and safety of the battery under high-temperature conditions, thereby reducing the risk of thermal runaway.
In 2021, a pound of cobalt cost around 25 U.S. dollars. Comparatively, the price of a pound of iron was around eight cents. Lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles rely heavily on cobalt containing cathodes, but issues in the cobalt supply chain have inflated cobalt prices in recent years.
Very often, it comes directly from the name of the positive electrode active material. To compare these options, the characteristics used in the previous figure are generally used (specific power, specific energy, cost, life, safety). For the battery life, two main characteristics are to be considered : Cycle life: aging in use.
Graphite and its derivatives are currently the predominant materials for the anode. The chemical compositions of these batteries rely heavily on key minerals such as lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and aluminium for the positive electrode, and materials like carbon and silicon for the anode (Goldman et al., 2019, Zhang and Azimi, 2022).

Positive electrodes for Li-ion and lithium batteries (also termed "cathodes") have been under intense scrutiny since the advent of the Li-ion cell in 1991. This is especially true in the past decade. Early on, carbonaceous materials dominated the negative electrode and hence most of the possible improvements in the cell were anticipated at the positive terminal; on the …

NMC covers a family of structures since the shares of Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt can be adjusted. The most developed structure is the 111 NMC (equal share of each material): it is generally a good compromise offering a very good energy density at an affordable cost and adding to that a better stability than LCO.
Layered cathode materials are comprised of nickel, manganese, and cobalt elements and known as NMC or LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (x + y + z = 1). NMC has been widely used due to its low cost, environmental benign and more specific capacity than LCO systems [10] bination of Ni, Mn and Co elements in NMC crystal structure, as shown in Fig. 2 …

It is now possible for consumers to buy lithium ion battery-powered EVs such as the Tesla Model S sedan or Coda, or PHEVs like the Chevrolet Volt or Fisker Karma. For further market penetration, however, experts agree that prices of the batteries will need to come down, and performance and reliability will need to be improved.
