Which anode material will occupy the largest market share of lithium battery?

Professor Guorong Hu, director of the institute of light metals and industrial electrochemistry, school of metallurgy and environment, central south university, pointed out that the development of anode materials has become the key to the large-scale promotion and application of such materials. Before 2000, lithium cobalt oxide dominated, accounting for almost 100% of the market.

After 2000, lithium manganate, ternary and lithium iron phosphate anode materials began to develop. At present, lithium cobalt acid accounts for about 40% of the market, ternary system accounts for about 35%, and the rest are lithium manganate, lithium iron phosphate and binary system (NCA). The materials to be further developed in the future mainly include lithium manganese rich solid solution materials, lithium manganese phosphate lithium ferromanganese phosphate and lithium iron phosphate graphene composites.

Lithium manganate and lithium iron phosphate are mainly used in large energy storage and power batteries. Ternary materials are now being used in power batteries because of the improvement of safety technology and the requirement of energy density. Therefore, ternary materials have good applications in the future two markets, and their market prospects are good, which will occupy the largest market share of cathode materials. However, as the NCA and NCM of ternary systems are limited by nickel-cobalt resources, it is necessary to solve the problem of nickel-cobalt recovery in ternary materials batteries.
