Demand for manganese in batteries is set to grow over eight-fold this decade, due to new battery chemistries and rising electric vehicle sales, according to Benchmark’s Manganese Sulphate Market Outlook.
Innovations in manganese-based lithium-ion batteries could lead to more efficient and durable power sources for electric vehicles, offering high energy density and stable performance without voltage decay. Researchers have developed a sustainable lithium-ion battery using manganese, which could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry.
Martin Kepman, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Canadian manganese mining company Manganese X Energy Corp, said in an interview: "Manganese is a candidate for disruption in the lithium-ion battery space. It has elemental qualities that have the potential to improve density, capacity, rechargeability, safety and battery longevity.
Manganese batteries have been attracting attention recently as potential alternatives to lithium batteries. Usually, cobalt, nickel and lithium are the most in-demand metals for EV batteries but manganese is also useful. It is a cathode material in EVs, designed to increase their safety aspect, energy density and cost effectiveness.
It is a cathode material in EVs, designed to increase their safety aspect, energy density and cost effectiveness. An average EV battery consists of about 20 kgs of manganese, as well as 14 kgs of cobalt. Manganese is cheaper to mine than lithium and there is much more of it available.
“The higher number of minerals that go into a battery is a good thing,” said Venkat Srinivisan, director of the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science (ACCESS). As a cathode material, manganese is abundant, safe, and stable. But it has never approached the energy density or life cycle of nickel-rich batteries, Srinivisan cautions.
As battery technology evolves and new chemistries are commercialized, the demand for manganese could continue to rise (and the demand for cobalt could decrease) …
