Asian nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) battery cell prices fell to their lowest level for the first time in over three years in May, retreating significantly from the peak seen in 2022. A combination of lower critical battery raw material prices, supply glut, a sluggish demand and improving technology has kept a tight lid on NCM []
Schematic of a process for the production of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder. The product stream, a slurry of solid precipitates in a solution, is phase separated, and then filtered and washed several times. The filtration may be done in a rotary vacuum filter followed by drying in a spray dryer.
A process model has been developed and used to study the production process of a common lithium-ion cathode material, lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide, using the co-precipitation method. The process was simulated for a plant producing 6500 kg day−1.
Fig. 6 shows a combination of factors that can lead to the targeted battery pack cost to vehicle manufacturer. The price of the starting material is NMC333 is $25.34 per kg (10% profit added to the cost of the product, $23.04 per kg). Switching the cathode material composition from NMC333 to NMC532 reduces the price by $1.79.
This combination of changes indicates the possibility of the NMC cathode material price approaching $20 per kg, or 19% less than the base case scenario. There are yet other cost-cutting measures that can drive the cost down even further. Fig. 6.
