Lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite are integral materials in the composition of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for electric vehicles. This paper is one of a five-part series of working papers that maps out the global value chains for these four key materials.
LIBs have four major components: cathode (positive electrode), anode (negative electrode), electrolyte, and separator. The electrolyte carries lithium ions back and forth between the anode and cathode via the separator.
Accordingly, these four materials’ complex and differentiated global value chains (GVCs) have garnered extensive interest. This paper is one of a five-part series of working papers that map out the GVCs for lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite that are used in LIBs for EVs.
In addition, the chemicals and materials used in the battery must be cost-effective while achieving large-scale production. LIBs (Lithium-ion batteries) are the dominant recharging technology for batteries the next few years, but the problem with lithium-ion batteries is the cost of the materials used to make the LIB.
Raw materials for lithium-ion anode can be categorised into three groups, such as. 1. 2. De-alloying and alloying materials such as alloys of tin and silicon. 3. Metal sulphides, metal fluorides, metal oxides and metal phosphides are the examples of conversion materials.
