But batteries do not grow on trees—the raw materials for them, known as “battery metals”, have to be mined and refined. The above graphic uses data from BloombergNEF to rank the top 25 countries producing the raw materials for Li-ion batteries.
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.
In contrast, the production of battery cells with NMC cathodes accounts for slightly more than a quarter in China. By 2030, Chinese production will account for about a quarter of total global NMC cathode production. In the USA, NMC and NCA cell production dominates. This represents about half of the total production in China.
