Cobalt-Free Batteries Arrive: Cheaper, Cleaner Energy
Subject
Cobalt use in electric vehicles and grid batteries is declining as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries rise. Batteries using LFP are cheaper, non-toxic and cobalt-free, and the growing adoption of LFP, plus developments in sodium-ion, solid-state, flow, and other chemistries, is reshaping the battery market and boosting recycling of cobalt. All of this contributes towards a sustainable future, where electric vehicles, projects and other products using batteries shift to using more renewable sources that further reduce environmental impact.
