The main container typically uses a mix of aluminium or steel, and also plastic. The individual battery cells within the module need protection from heat and vibration, so a number of resins are used to provide mechanical reinforcement to the cells within the module: Demounted battery from electric car Nissan Leaf.
The battery pack’s housing container will use a mix of aluminium or steel, and also plastic (just like the modules).
Critical raw materials in Li-ion batteriesSeveral materials on the EU’s 2020 list of critical raw materia s are used in commercial Li-ion batteries. The most important ones are listed in Table 2. Bauxite is our prim ry source for the production of aluminium. Aluminium foil is used as the cat
It compares this with the raw materials needed to run a fossil fuel car to show that electric car batteries need significantly less raw materials. The report also shows that on a systemic level Europe’s overreliance on oil imports far outweighs those of battery raw materials, helping Europe to become self-sufficient in batteries. Key findings:
Table 9.1 Typical raw material requirements (Li, Co, Ni and Mn) for three battery cathodes in kg/kWh Batteries with lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathodes typically require approximately 0.11 kg/kWh of lithium and 0.96 kg/kWh of cobalt (Table 9.1).
Most existing LIBs use aluminum for the mixed-metal oxide cathode and copper for the graphite anode, with the exception of lithium titanate (Li4Ti5, LTO) which uses aluminum for both . The cathode materials are typically abbreviated to three letters, which then become the descriptors of the battery itself.
