This paper analyzes China''s new energy vehicle power battery raw material market, explains the current situation of the power battery raw material market from the perspectives of market pattern, price changes and technology trends, and proposes the market demand and prospects of power battery recycled materials.
More batteries means extracting and refining greater quantities of critical raw materials, particularly lithium, cobalt and nickel . Rising EV battery demand is the greatest contributor to increasing demand for critical metals like lithium. Battery demand for lithium stood at around 140 kt in 2023, 85% of total lithium demand and up more than 30% compared to 2022; for cobalt,

The
The plant will recover 100 % of the lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt, plus 90 % of the aluminum, copper and plastic . The plant is currently designed to recycle up to 3600 battery systems per year, which is the equivalent of around 1500 t of battery mass.
One of the pioneers in the field of commercial battery recycling is Umicore. The process developed by the company consists of a pyro-metallurgical and a hydro-metallurgical phase. The initial thermal processing stage produces an alloy that contains cobalt, nickel and copper and a slag fraction.
The market for battery materials has seen dynamic growth since 2017, driven largely by end uses in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.

Graphite is used as the anode material in lithium-ion batteries. It has the highest proportion by volume of all the battery raw materials and also represents a significant percentage of the costs of cell production.
One of the minerals not covered by most regulations is mica, a key raw material in the production of an EV battery. Once easily sourced from Russian industrial mines, mica now poses a challenge as companies alternatively procure it from artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM).
