Though neither lithium nor cobalt are rare earth metals, and rare earth metals aren't nearly as rare as precious metals like gold, platinum, and palladium, there are important issues surrounding the production of lithium-ion batteries that must be acknowledged and addressed.
This article explores the primary raw materials used in the production of different types of batteries, focusing on lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride, and solid-state batteries. 1. Lithium-Ion Batteries
A billion batteries from old consumer-electronics devices, many of which can be recycled, are 30-fold richer in cobalt than the remaining cobalt-using car batteries. These batteries are awaiting recycling in American factories that are already being scaled up.
Lithium Metal: Known for its high energy density, but it's essential to manage dendrite formation. Graphite: Used in many traditional batteries, it can also work well in some solid-state designs. The choice of cathode materials influences battery capacity and stability. Common materials are:
Antimony (critical) is used in batteries, with 29% of antimony in the USA being used for this purpose. Arsenic (critical) is used in the grids of lead acid storage batteries. Cadmium is used in Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) batteries and also in photovoltaic devices.
The most studied batteries of this type is the Zinc-air and Li-air battery. Other metals have been used, such as Mg and Al, but these are only known as primary cells, and so are beyond the scope of this article.
