Ni is used in clean energy generation to produce the cathode material of lithium-ion batteries, which is used to power electric vehicles (Kotal et al., 2022, Yang et al., 2023). Ni is a hard and ductile transition metal with atomic number 28, exhibiting a diverse array of chemical properties ( USGS, 2022 ).
The conventional methods of lithium extraction include mining lithium from ore deposits and extracting lithium from brine sources. These methods have been used for decades and have undergone continuous improvements to increase efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and enhance the quality of the extracted lithium.
An increased supply of lithium will be needed to meet future expected demand growth for lithium-ion batteries for transportation and energy storage. Lithium demand has tripled since 2017 [1] and is set to grow tenfold by 2050 under the International Energy Agency''s (IEA) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. [2]
