Aside from the lithium needed to produce modern lithium-ion batteries, much attention is focused on the cost of the materials used for EV battery cathode production. Cobalt is an important ingredient in lithium-ion battery cathode production, accounting for about a quarter of the cost of the battery. 202103050.

The demand for domestically produced and sustainably sourced battery metals has grown at a near insatiable rate over recent years, as the domestic manufacturing capacity of lithium-ion batteries has grown exponentially from less than 50 GWh/year to now more than 700 GWh/year of operational and announced capacity.

A substantially high ion conductivity (~10 −4 S cm –1 ) and lithium-ion transference number (0.54) are obtained due to weak interactions between ‘hard’ (charge dense) Li + ions and the ‘soft’ (electronically polarizable) –C≡N group of Adpn. 2023) “A soft co-crystalline solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries.”

PVDF is characterized by a nonconducting nature, slow dissolution in the electrolyte, and poor adherence to the current collector—thus limiting its utility as a robust binder for lithium-ion batteries designed for a long cycle life. Credit: Noriyoshi Matsumi from JAIST. 0c02742.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reports that battery producers have begun to increase lithium-ion cell prices following a period of consistent raw material price rises throughout 2021, particularly for lithium. Lithium carbonate has been singled out as a major driver behind the battery cell price increases.

Solid-state batteries could potentially not only deliver twice as much energy for their size, they also could virtually eliminate the fire hazard associated with today’s lithium-ion batteries. The findings are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Advanced Energy Materials. —Professor Yildiz. 202102741.
