Surging Electric Vehicles Sales Resulting in High Demand for Lithium and Lithium Ion Battery Electrolytes
April 9, 2021 Press Offfice Press Release 0

Battery Electrolytes
Battery Electrolytes
High energy density and lightweight lithium-ion or Li-ion batteries are used in different fields from small machinery and IT devices to electric tools. They belong to a group of batteries that generate electrical energy by converting chemical energy via redox reactions on the active materials. They also have the greatest electrochemical potential and have well-defined energy per weight.

Lithium and lithium ion battery electrolytes are considered to a step taken towards resolving challenges posed by gasoline-dependent fuel sources. This is one of the key factors leading to their increasing application in electric vehicles. The rising demand for vehicles with lesser weight and greater fuel-efficiency will pave way for increasing installation of lithium ion battery electrolytes in the near future.

Types of lithium-ion batteries
Lithium Cobalt Oxide, LCO: Batteries consisting of lithium cobalt oxide are made of cobalt and lithium carbonate. The energy level is very high in combination with a high level of defence. The anode limits battery life by changing the solid interface and by thickening the anode. The characteristics of these batteries make them popular among mobile phones and other portable electronic devices. One of the disadvantages of the LCO battery is its current charging and discharge ability.
Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery, LFP: These batteries use phosphate as a cathode. They also provide low internal resistance and high current capability. They have a long lifecycle and durability. This kind of li-ion battery uses a nanoscale phosphate cathode material to provide its high current capacity. Motorcycles and other electric vehicles use these batteries as well.
Lithium Manganese Oxide, LMO: Lithium Manganese Oxide, LiMn2O4, is used as cathode material for this kind of battery. They have a nickel, manganese, and cobalt hybrid cathode. They are structured to permit high currents to pass, and also provide very high current levels to be fast-charged as well. They improve the thermal stability and improves the safety of the cell. This form of battery is mostly used in automotive control tools and powertrains.
Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide, NCA: These batteries are important for powertrains and storage in the grid. It has a good service life, high power, and high-density figures. They are mostly used in the automotive industry. Even though they provide a high-energy option, they aren’t safe and are quite costly.
Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide, NMC: These batteries use a cathode comprising of a combination of nickel, manganese, and cobalt. They can be high-specific energy densities or high specified capacity, as other lithium-ion battery types. This form of battery is most used in automotive control tools and powertrains. They have high specific energy but weak stability, Nickel is known for its low internal resistance, but at the expense of low specific power.
Components of Lithium-Ion Battery
Li-ion batteries consist of mainly four components:

Cathode
Anode
Electrolyte
Separator.
Lithium batteries cannot function without the components that are mentioned above.

Advantages of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries have one of the highest energy densities of any battery technology as of today. They can deliver up to 3.6 Volts, 3 times higher than other technologies.
They also don’t require high maintenance and are not required to schedule cycling to maintain their battery life.
They are used to power electrical systems for some aerospace applications, where weight is an important cost factor.
They last for five years or longer, which is longer than the lead battery that lasts only two years.
Lithium can load and discharge highly for all kinds of applications, providing maximum diversity. Fast charge reduces downtime and the high lithium discharge rate is perfect for an explosion of power.
Lithium provides less than half the weight and size of the same or greater energy compared to other battery chemicals which makes them more flexible and easier to install.
Lithium-ion Battery Electrolytes Application Projected to Surge
The demand for lithium and lithium-ion electrolyte batteries is projected to grow significantly considering the launch of new lithium-ion electrolytes and the increasing use of these batteries in various electronic equipment. The demand will be considerably high in the U.K., as the country makes headways in electronic vehicle production.

Within Asia Pacific, China in particular will continue exhibiting high demand. Some of the key elements of the lithium-ion battery are electrolytes, aluminium foil, copper foil, anode, and cathode.

DISADVANTAGES OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Lithium ion batteries suffer from ageing. They age even when they are not in use. Despite the usage, there is a time limit element to the reduction in capacity. It is dependent on the number of charge discharge cycles that the battery has undergone.
A key disadvantage is also their cost. Typically they are around 40% more costly to manufacture than Nickel Cadmium cells.
They have low self-discharge. Although partially discharged the overall integrity of this battery continues.
Lithium batteries may explode when overheated. This is because gases formed by electrolyte decomposition increases the internal pressure of the cell.

CONCLUSION Technology is constantly evolving and new lithium-ion technologies are replacing the existing ones. The demand for lithium ion battery electrolyte is expected to surge amid the increasing sales of electric vehicles. With countries around the world focusing on ways of reducing carbon footprint, they are expected to look for technologies that will allow them to save energy. This will in turn create an environment conducive for increase in lithium ion batteries sales

BEIJING — Growing demand for electric car batteries will cause prices of the main materials to surge, Goldman Sachs analysts said in a March 18 note.

That in turn will drive prices of batteries higher by about 18%, affecting the total profit of electric car makers since the battery accounts for about 20% to 40% of the vehicle cost, the Goldman analysts said.

While the report didn’t give specific price targets for the commodities, the analysts’ model predicted a return to historical peak prices would more than double the cost of lithium for electric battery makers. That of cobalt would also double, while the cost of nickel would rise by 60%

Nickel capitulation built on potential supply shift

Nickel saw sharp declines at the end of February, with traders reacting to the news that Chinese steelmaker Tsingshan it had agreed to supply 100,000 tonnes of nickel matte to two battery manufacturers. Nickel typically comes in two-grades, and this was a case of a company providing the lower grade material (class 2) for a market that typically requires the higher-grade product (class 1).

The growth in demand from electric vehicles led to calls from Elon Musk for producers to 'please mine more nickel'. The Tesla CEO stated that owing to the scarcity and cost, it provided their 'our biggest concern for scaling lithium-ion cell production'.

However, the recent Tsingshan deal does raise questions over whether the class 2 material that had typically only really been used to make steel could be treated in a manner that could ultimately provide a material worthy of the electric vehicle (EV) demand.

Nevertheless, while this does raise the possibility that the scarcity issue could be resolved through the cross-utilisation of nickel types, the process required is highly energy intensive, and costly. With EVs typically built on the premise of energy efficiency, it is questionable whether this secondary source of material will prove a major roadblock to class 1 nickel demand.

Biden hopes to lift EV demand further

Having already found cross-party agreement on his $1.9 trillion pandemic-relief package, US President Joe Biden has now turned towards a potential $2.25 trillion stimulus plan. Within that package, Biden has proposed a $174 billion allocation towards boosting electric vehicle usage.

Crucially, $100 billion of that is set aside for new consumer rebates in a bid to incentivise the transition from carbon to electric. That could mean a possible end to the 200,000 threshold beyond which a manufacturer would see the subsidies offered to their prospective customer diminish.

What we are looking at is a historic shift towards EV, and that should provide further upside for nickel over time. With that in mind, the latest pullback could provide a great buying opportunity for the resource.

Nickel pullback brings potential buying opportunity

The pullback seen a month ago took the price of nickel back into the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement region. Following a three-week consolidation period, there is a good chance we have now broken into a more bullish phase.

Interestingly, the stochastic is on the cusp of a rise up through the 20 threshold, which has provided three very good buy signals and one fakeout over the past two years. With that in mind, this looks like a good place for the bulls to come back into play once more

So the light seems to be getting slowly but surely bigger in that tunnel, let’s us hope and pray that it’s a sure sign rather then a truck coming the other way!

[atticusfinch1] 08/4/2021 17:20

Same for me g2theary, although I spilt my profit equally between KEFI and AMC. Both fantastic opportunities in my view, both due a significant rerate.

[madengland_] 08/4/2021 16:32

Looks like you may have times it well fingers crossed. APF worth a look if you want a less risky punt. Good luck let's hope amc flies

SK Innovation pushes nickel limits of EV batteries
By Korea Herald


This is the first installment of a three-part series looking into SK Innovation’s struggles to rise to the global leadership of lithium ion batteries, which have become a key enabler for a global shift toward sustainable mobility. The articles are sponsored by SK Innovation. - Ed.

SK Innovation is pushing the boundaries of nickel ratio inside electric vehicle batteries to the extreme, taking initiative in the global nickel cobalt manganese, or NCM, battery market.

According to the South Korean petrochemical-to-battery giant, it has become the world’s first to develop NCM batteries with 90 percent nickel, 5 percent cobalt and 5 percent manganese last year.

NCM refers to minerals inside cathodes, one of the four key components of EV batteries including anodes, separators and electrolytes. The higher the ratio of nickel inside cathodes, the more powerful batteries become, translating into a greater driving range for EVs.

“The so-called NCM 9-1/2-1/2 (or Nine half half) batteries are the key for third-generation EVs, which are required to travel 500-700 kilometers on a single charge. Simply put, EVs powered by NCM 9-1/2-1/2 batteries can travel from Seoul to Busan without charging,” an SK Innovation official said.

SK Innovation aims to begin the commercialization of NCM 9-1/2-1/2 batteries starting next year.

SK Innovation’s competitors are also in the race for high-nickel batteries. LG Energy Solution aims to roll out lithium-ion batteries that contain 90 percent nickel in the second half of this year while Samsung SDI plans to introduce lithium-ion batteries that contain 88 percent nickel in the second half of this year.

In addition to its NCM 9-1/2-1/2 technology, SK Innovation aims to increase the ratio of silicon inside anodes to make batteries even more powerful.

They got an interest payment.

NRR produced 3 shipments in Q1. @58kt per shipment (from first update last year) they are woefully short of the expected 1.5-1.8Mtpa, despite raising another $10m to increase production.
