Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxides are a family of mixed metal oxides of lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt. Nickel is known for its high specific energy, but poor stability. Manganese has low specific energy but
At a lower cost are lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are cheaper to make than cobalt and nickel-based variants. LFP battery cells have an average price of $98.5
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.

Figure 3 - Impact of relative raw material cost change on lithium-ion battery pack price for a) LFP cathode and graphite anode and b) NMC cathode and graphite anode. NMC111 with equal shares of nickel, manganese and cobalt assumed
The cost of an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack can vary depending on composition and chemistry. In this graphic, we use data from Benchmark Minerals Intelligence to showcase the different costs of battery
NMC111 with equal shares of nickel, manganese and cobalt assumed here. Battery pack price of 130 USD/kWh assumed. Values in brackets show baseline raw material cost assumptions based on monthly average prices from 2010-2020.
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.
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.
The analysis shows that each material only contributes a minor share to total raw material cost. In addition, total raw materials cost only constitute a share of total product price. The cost increase of one raw material will therefore only have a limited impact on lithium-ion battery pack prices.
Nickel-metal hydride batteries exhibit relatively high raw material cost due to large amounts of nickel. These batteries are also subject to commodity price fluctuations of nickel, leading to pack cost of 250 USD/kWh in the worst case.
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.
