Cobalt in lithium-ion batteries | Science

The use of cobalt in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) traces back to the well-known LiCoO 2 (LCO) cathode, which offers high conductivity and stable structural stability throughout charge cycling. Compared to the other transition metals, cobalt is less abundant and more expensive and also presents political and ethical issues because of the way it is

Toward the Practical Use of Cobalt-Free Lithium-Ion Batteries by

The criticality of cobalt (Co) has been motivating the quest for Co-free positive electrode materials for building lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the LIBs based on Co-free positive electrode materials usually suffer from relatively fast capacity decay when coupled with conventional LiPF6-organocarbonate electrolytes. To address this issue, a 1,2

Ditching Cobalt for Carbon in Lithium-Ion Batteries

In 2022, we mined 187,000 metric tons of cobalt, 70% of which was used in batteries. 1 But elemental cobalt is rare —it is more often found in mineral forms and associated with nickel, copper, silver, iron, or uranium. 2 Moreover, mining it carries a social cost and has been linked to child labor. 3 These drawbacks have therefore led many
