The key materials of lithium-ion power battery mainly include cathode and anode materials, separators, and electrolytes. The cathode material directly determines the energy density and production cost of the whole battery, which has become the most important component that requires more attention. The global leading companies of lithium-ion power battery are mainly
In the next decade, recycling will be critical to recover materials from manufacturing scrap, and looking further ahead, to recycle end-of-life batteries and reduce critical minerals demand, particularly after 2035, when the number of end-of-life EV batteries will start growing rapidly. If recycling is scaled effectively, recycling can reduce lithium and nickel

Batteries are of critical importance for the success of the European Green Deal and the competitive environment battery manufacturers operate in has significantly evolved since the first Battery Action Plan was developed in 2018.
At the same time, the European Commission has established a dedicated instrument under the Innovation Fund to support the battery value chain, allocating up to €3 billion. 6 This funding is targeted at enhancing the middle of the battery value chain, particularly cell production, and could stimulate investments in other parts of the value chain.
EUROBAT will continue supporting the European Commission’s effort to craft a European Critical Raw Materials Act that is truly supportive of the EU battery industry and we look forward to the next steps in the process.
By 2030, Europe and North America are each expected to house approximately 20 percent of global battery cell production.
