As the energy transition rapidly expands, demand for critical minerals used in battery technologies is expected to rise sharply. These minerals include lithium, cobalt, nickel, phosphate and graphite – along with emerging materials like sodium, zinc, sulfur, and silicon.
Power tools and larger devices like Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and grid storage applications are quickly adopting batteries. The choice of mineral for lithium-ion batteries and the applications they serve is graphite since it improves battery performance and durability.
