If the announcements in Europe are actually implemented at the targeted rate, NMC battery cell production in Europe would even be larger than in China by 2030. The data used in this article comes from the BEMA2020 research project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (grant number 03XP0272B).
In 2013, the global sales of LIBs totaled nearly 12 billion US$. 24 This market is anticipated to reach about 24 billion US$ by 2020, driven by the growing use of Li-ion batteries (LiBs) in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and fully electric vehicles (EV) as well in many other applications.
Lithium carbonate, as well as lithium hydroxide and chloride are used as raw materials to manufacture secondary (rechargeable) batteries. These are the raw materials from where the various Li chemistries used in the cathode, the anode, and the electrolyte are derived. Lithium metal is used for the production of primary (nonrechargeable) batteries.
The present review has outlined the historical background relating to lithium, the inception of early Li-ion batteries in the early 20th century and the subsequent commercialisation of Li-ion batteries in the 1990s. The operational principle of a typical rechargeable Li-ion battery and its reaction mechanisms with lithium was discussed.
In 2012, lithium carbonate was, by far (48% of the lithium products demand in 2011 21), the main lithium compound used, lithium hydroxide being the second material by order of importance (20% in 2011), while lithium mineral concentrates represented 14% of the 2011 demand and lithium metal only 5%.
Long-term lithium availability scenarios according to two levels of Li demand (Scenario A: on the basis of the CAGRs observed from the 2003–2013 period, except for batteries reduced to 13% from 22.8% CAGR, thanks to improved design and recycling; Scenario B: on the basis of the 2003–2013 CAGRs).
