Lithium has a broad variety of industrial applications. It is used as a scavenger in the refining of metals, such as iron, zinc, copper and nickel, and also non-metallic elements, such as nitrogen, sulphur, hydrogen, and carbon [31].Spodumene and lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3) are applied in glass and ceramic industries to reduce boiling temperatures and enhance …
Understanding constraints within the raw battery material supply chain is essential for making informed decisions that will ensure the battery industry''s future success. The primary limiting factor for long-term mass production of batteries is mineral extraction constraints. These constraints are highlighted in a first-fill analysis which showed significant risks if lithium …

Entering 2024, automotive sector health shows mixed messaging, fractured markets, and significant implosive forces affecting major megatrends. For all four CASE systems (Connected, Automated, Shared, and Electrified), 2023 showed cracks in the expansion rates and long-term outlooks of these development focus areas. But where does battery raw materials …
Electric cars are quickly becoming the norm on our roads, but have you ever wondered what goes into making their batteries? The answer lies in the raw materials used to create them, and the question of sustainability. Electric car batteries depend on a wide range of metals and minerals, including cobalt, lithium, nickel, and graphite....
