Nickel is indispensable in lithium-ion battery production, especially in high-performing cathode chemistries like nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) and nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA). These chemistries are prized by EV manufacturers for their ability to deliver extended range and performance.
These chemistries are prized by EV manufacturers for their ability to deliver extended range and performance. According to Adamas Intelligence, nickel use in EV batteries has seen a marked increase, with each battery EV (BEV) containing an average of 25.3 kilograms.
Despite recent market challenges, the long-term demand for nickel in the EV industry remains strong. As automakers prioritise high-nickel battery chemistries for range and performance advantages, nickel consumption is anticipated to grow with the global shift toward electrification.
Nickel's role in the EV industry goes beyond just being a raw material; it represents a catalyst for change in the global automotive market, propelling advancements in battery technology and reshaping national economies.
Pyrometallurgically produced nickel matte is leached in atmospheric and pressure Metso Outotec OKTOP reactors with the help of oxygen and sulfuric acid. The leaching circuit typically includes pulping, pre-leaching, pressure leaching in autoclaves, solid-liquid separation, and scrubbing stages.
Worldwide production of batteries with LFP cathodes takes place mainly in China, where it accounts for just over a third of total battery production. In contrast, the production of battery cells with NMC cathodes accounts for slightly more than a quarter in China.
