Weaker-than-expected demand in China is partly responsible, but the main driver has been the ongoing avalanche of new supply into the market, as plentiful cheap spodumene meets ample conversional capacity in China, the CRU analysts said. Another key factor which has contributed to the decline in lithium prices is the surge in mine supply.

Graphite is a pure form of carbon. Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. The company Graphex occupies a middle position in the supply chain—it buys raw graphite from mining companies, puts it through several purification and processing steps, then sells it to battery manufacturers.

An editorial in the journal Nature calls on policy makers, industry leaders and researchers to mitigate quickly the environmental and human costs of Li-ion batteries. The market for Li-ion batteries is projected to grow from $30 billion in 2017 to some $100 billion in 2025. This would have a considerable carbon footprint.
