When these two metals are combined together, they enhance each other strengths very well. Nickel manganese cobalt batteries are an excellent choice for e-bikes, power tools, and other electronic power trains. The cathode combination consists of one third of nickel, one third cobalt, and one third of manganese.
For example, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per metric ton in 2022 to about $30,000 in 2024. Similarly, the price for lithium carbonate has fallen from a high of approximately $70,000 per metric ton to well below $15,000 in 2024.
In the weeks following confirmation that the cobalt market will face an additional three months of no exports from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), metal prices have consolidated as participants point to the future for bullish sentiment.
