Can nickel metal be used in lithium-ion batteries?

Some conclusions and prospects are proposed about the future nickel metal supply for lithium-ion batteries, which is expected to provide guidance for nickel metal supply in the future, particularly in the application of high nickel cathodes in lithium-ion batteries.

What is the future for nickel use in batteries?

We forecast that the future for nickel use in batteries is bright. This growth is driven by increasing EV sales, particularly in China, enlarging battery size and raising nickel intensities. CRU believes that the share of NCA and NCM in in battery cathode will grow to 84% by 2030.

Why is nickel important in lithium ion battery production?

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.

Are high-Nickel ternary cathodes suitable for lithium-ion batteries?

Among them, high-nickel ternary cathodes for lithium-ion batteries capture a growing market owing to their high energy density and reasonable price. However, the critical metal supply for high-nickel ternary cathode materials will be a thorny issue in the future with the dramatic development of power lithium-ion batteries.

Which battery chemistries use nickel?

Of the various battery chemistries in widespread production four use nickel: nickel metal hydride (NiMH), nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and nickel-cobalt-aluminium oxide (NCA). Here, we will focus on NMC and NCA, which amount to more than 95% of nickel contained in batteries.

What percentage of nickel demand will come from batteries?

Batteries will represent 23.7% of the nickel demand by 2030 and 33% by 2040. The growth in nickel demand in the long-term is dependent on increasing market share of electric vehicles in the transport sector using nickel-intensive batteries. We forecast around two thirds of nickel demand growth out to 2040 will come from the battery sector.
