Battery-grade nickel, or Class 1 nickel, used in rechargeable batteries will remain a major beneficiary of the global green transition, especially as the configuration of lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) oxide batteries used in electric vehicles is changing, with a shift from a 111 ratio to the latest 811 ratio.
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.
This study refers to battery grade nickel sulphate (22 % Ni) produced from both sulphidic and lateritic ores following both pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processing at global scale (excluding China), which limits the ability to fully compare and contextualize its findings within the body of the LCA research shown in Table 4.
These chemistries are prized by EV manufacturers for their ability to deliver extended range and performance. According to Adamas Intelligence, nickel use in EV batteries has seen a marked increase, with each battery EV (BEV) containing an average of 25.3 kilograms.
The nickel–lithium battery ( Ni–Li) is a battery using a nickel hydroxide cathode and lithium anode. The two metals cannot normally be used together in a battery, as there are no electrolytes compatible with both. The LISICON design uses a layer of porous glass to separate two electrolytes in contact with each metal.
Furthermore, a substantial portion of battery-grade nickel (about 20% of worldwide supply) is known to be mined and refined in Russia (or neighboring Finland) and used in the European market 38, 39, which is not reflected in the data either.
