When only emerging end-use categories are considered, China shows the largest cobalt cumulative demand (17 kt) and in-use stock (16 kt), notably accounting for
READ MOREThe Chinese battery cell manufacturer first announced the cobalt-free cells in 2019 and provided details in May 2020. With the series production of cathode material now started in China, SVOLT will primarily supply the parent company Great Wall once full cell deliveries begin as planned in June. The NMX cells will come in two sizes, a
READ MOREAttempts to utilize lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale electrochemical energy storage systems have achieved initial success, and solid-state LIBs using metallic lithium as the anode have also been well developed. However, the sharply increased demands/costs and the limited reserves of the two most i
