Aqua Metals and 6K Energy partner to develop low-carbon CAM precursors for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The companies have initiated the partnership with a non-recurring engineering (NRE) agreement to develop low-carbon technology for the conversion of critical metals—first virgin and later recycled material—into battery-grade cathode active material (CAM) precursors, which are essential to 6K Energy’s advanced cathode manufacturing.

BNEF: Li-ion battery pack prices rise for first time since 2010 to an average of $151/kWh

Green Car Congress

Rising raw material and battery component prices and soaring inflation have led to the first increase in lithium-ion battery pack prices since BloombergNEF (BNEF) began tracking the market in 2010. he upward cost pressure on batteries outpaced the higher adoption of lower cost chemistries like lithium iron phosphate (LFP).

Roskill: graphite prices could push higher on tightening markets for batteries & electrodes

Green Car Congress

Price rises are the result of a perfect storm of conditions in China, Roskill said. Both synthetic and natural graphite compete for use in lithium-ion battery anodes, along with an increasing amount of needle coke and other existing carbon materials. Rising flake graphite prices spur new development outside of China.
