The materials under investigation are predominantly used in the battery value chain, so that the dynamics are essentially shaped by battery demand and the expansion of production capacities for materials. Their price therefore particularly reflects market factors such as supply and demand fluctuations.
The cell is the primary building block of the battery and in many ways determines the end battery cost. As mentioned in Section 3.2, the price of a battery is a direct function of the number of cells. In this section, we distinguish between cells connected in series and those connected in parallel arrangement.
Materials and Capital Equipment A variation study was made of the cost inputs for the top eight contributors to total battery price including the active materials, copper current collector foil, electrolyte, separator, and SOC controllers. The costs of capital for electrode coating and formation cycling were also varied.
The largest single contributor to the cost of battery cells is the materials used in them, especially the cathode materials. In addition to lithium, the transition metals manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel are used in particular.
Battery raw materials like lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have experienced significant price fluctuations over the past five years. Figures 1 and 2 show the development of material spot prices between 2018 and 2023.
Cost-savings in lithium-ion battery production are crucial for promoting widespread adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles and achieving cost-parity with internal combustion engines. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of projected production costs for lithium-ion batteries by 2030, focusing on essential metals.
