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.
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 price of cobalt metal has changed in the last six years from a peak of $27 per kg to a low of $22 per kg . Thus, a 20% reduction in the price of cobalt from the value used in this study ($26.3 per kg) would reduce the price of the NMC532 by $1.02 per kg.
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.
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.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic of the process for the production of a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC). The solution of sulfates is reacted with the carbonate solution in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) maintained at a desired pH with the addition of a hydroxide solution in a reactor maintained at 45–95 °C.
