IEA’s report states, “In 2023, leading battery manufacturers announced expansion plans for sodium-ion batteries, such as BYD, Northvolt, and CATL, which initially sought to reach mass production by the end of the same year. If brought to scale, sodium-ion batteries could cost up to 20% less than incumbent technologies.”
Battery raw materials like lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have experienced significant price fluctuations over the past five years. Figures 1 and 2 show the development of material spot prices between 2018 and 2023.
Sodium-ion batteries could further transform the industry by reducing costs and critical mineral reliance. IEA’s report states, “In 2023, leading battery manufacturers announced expansion plans for sodium-ion batteries, such as BYD, Northvolt, and CATL, which initially sought to reach mass production by the end of the same year.
If brought to scale, sodium-ion batteries could cost up to 20% less than incumbent technologies.” Despite their promise, lithium prices and supply chain challenges heavily influence the development of sodium-ion batteries, which could impact their near-term scalability.
The largest single contributor to the cost of battery cells is the materials used in them, especially the cathode materials. In addition to lithium, the transition metals manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel are used in particular.
According to IEA’s latest report, the price of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries was heavily impacted by the surge in battery mineral prices over the past two years, primarily due to the increased cost of lithium, its critical mineral component.
