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.
This includes benchmark prices for lithium and cobalt, two battery materials that continue to experience market volatility and supply/demand imbalances. Our widely used prices are market-reflective, assessing both the buy- and sell-side of transactions.
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.
As the cathode material technology matures, manufacturers will require less frequent design changes leading to longer plant life and lower depreciation costs. 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 .
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.
