Over the past few years, electric transportation has improved significantly. Modern vehicles have a 400 km range between charges, a twenty-five-minute charge time, and a long lifespan.
But over the next few decades, there will be a greater need than ever for battery technology if we are to advance with electric transportation.
Several chemical businesses are combining their R&D efforts to make an even better battery. We are researching alternate possibilities, such as solid-state batteries, which are better able to tolerate high temperatures, even if Li-Ion batteries continue to be the most promising technology so far.
The Austria EV Chemicals Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
To advance in the global EV battery value chain, Korea Zinc Co. and LG Chem Ltd., the leading chemicals business in South Korea, have decided to establish a joint venture for battery materials.
In order to begin mass production, the joint venture (JV) between LG Chem and Korea Energy Materials Co. (KEMCO), a subsidiary of Korea Zinc that makes nickel sulfate, will break ground for a precursor plant next month.
Lithium is combined with a precursor, a substance made by combining nickel, cobalt, and manganese, to generate cathodes. Precursor costs account for 70% of the cost of cathode materials, with nickel making up more than 50% of the precursor’s constituents.
The second-largest maker of EV batteries in the world, LG Energy Solution Ltd., would be able to steadily acquire precursor materials thanks to the establishment of the JV, according to LG Chem.
