This article explores the primary raw materials used in the production of different types of batteries, focusing on lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride, and solid-state batteries. 1. Lithium-Ion Batteries
The main raw materials used in lithium-ion battery production include: Lithium Source: Extracted from lithium-rich minerals such as spodumene, petalite, and lepidolite, as well as from lithium-rich brine sources. Role: Acts as the primary charge carrier in the battery, enabling the flow of ions between the anode and cathode. Cobalt
The key raw materials used in lead-acid battery production include: Lead Source: Extracted from lead ores such as galena (lead sulfide). Role: Forms the active material in both the positive and negative plates of the battery. Sulfuric Acid Source: Produced through the Contact Process using sulfur dioxide and oxygen.
The report lays the foundation for integrating raw materials into technology supply chain analysis by looking at cobalt and lithium— two key raw materials used to manufacture cathode sheets and electrolytes—the subcomponents of light-duty vehicle (LDV) lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells from 2014 through 2016.
The challenge is even greater with clean energy technologies, such as light-duty vehicle (LDV) lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, that account for a very small, although growing, fraction of the market. Critical raw materials used in manufacturing Li-ion batteries (LIBs) include lithium, graphite, cobalt, and manganese.
Looking solely at raw material emissions (not including emissions related to material transformation) for materials used to produce an anode electrode, graphite precursors such as graphite flake and petroleum coke are the most emissive materials, contributing about 7 to 8 percent of total emissions from battery raw materials.
