A process model has been developed and used to study the production process of a common lithium-ion cathode material, lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide, using the co-precipitation method. The process was simulated for a plant producing 6500 kg day−1.
For example, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per metric ton in 2022 to about $30,000 in 2024. Similarly, the price for lithium carbonate has fallen from a high of approximately $70,000 per metric ton to well below $15,000 in 2024.
Schematic of a process for the production of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder. The product stream, a slurry of solid precipitates in a solution, is phase separated, and then filtered and washed several times. The filtration may be done in a rotary vacuum filter followed by drying in a spray dryer.
Data until March 2023. Lithium-ion battery prices (including the pack and cell) represent the global volume-weighted average across all sectors. Nickel prices are based on the London Metal Exchange, used here as a proxy for global pricing, although most nickel trade takes place through direct contracts between producers and consumers.
In 2021, NCM batteries commanded 58% of the market share, closely followed by LFP and NCA, each holding a 21% share. Looking ahead to 2026, the article predicts significant shifts in market dynamics. LFP batteries are projected to nearly double their market share, reaching 38%.
This combination of changes indicates the possibility of the NMC cathode material price approaching $20 per kg, or 19% less than the base case scenario. There are yet other cost-cutting measures that can drive the cost down even further. Fig. 6.
