Based on Table 4, the cumulative Li-ion battery market for the period 2020 to 2030 is approximately 2.5 TWh. With the current material intensity of 0.16 kg/kWh, the cumulative lithium demand for batteries would be 400,000 t, which is equivalent to 2.9% of current global reserves.
Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.
1. Introduction Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are well known power components of portable electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops. Nevertheless, these batteries can play a much bigger role in our modern society, most specifically as a key component in the development towards energy sustainability.
Most importantly, solid-state batteries are expected to overcome the current limitations of energy density. It is believed that using metallic lithium will, theoretically, double the capacity of the Li-ion cell technology if adequately designed.
Currently, the main drivers for developing Li‐ion batteries for efficient energy applications include energy density, cost, calendar life, and safety. The high energy/capacity anodes and cathodes needed for these applications are hindered by challenges like: (1) aging and degradation; (2) improved safety; (3) material costs, and (4) recyclability.
Energy density is measured in Watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg). Li-ion designs provide the highest density of up to 250-270 Wh/kg for commercially available batteries. As a comparison, consider that lead-acid batteries offer less than 100 Wh/kg and nickel metal hydride batteries reach barely over 100 Wh/kg.
