Should EV libs be changed from cobalt-rich to nickel-rich cathode materials?
Therefore, it should be considered to change the cathode materials from cobalt-rich towards nickel-rich and Fe- and Mn-based cathode materials. The transition to other cell chemistries like Fe- and Mn-based materials can significantly reduce the pressure on Co and Ni demand. This would result in lower raw material use for EV LIBs.
