Roskill: Nickel sulfate to be the key growth area of nickel demand over the next decade; driven by EVs

Green Car Congress

A couple of years ago, the market for nickel sulfate was largely driven by the plating industry and non-Li-ion battery applications such as NiMH and NiCd batteries with stagnated y-o-y growth. As such, the future availability and suitability of feedstocks for the battery industry will be essential to the production of nickel sulfate.

EU JRC releases Roskill study on demand and supply security of nickel for EV batteries; risk of shortages

Green Car Congress

Against this demand backdrop, Roskill critically assessed the EU’s internal supply capabilities and identified the risk of future shortages. The expected requirements for additional nickel are “seismic” for the market and there are multiple challenges to ensuring long-term supply security, according to the report’s authors.

Microporous polymer material for supercapacitors with large capacitance, high energy and power densities and excellent cycle life

Green Car Congress

Aza-CMPs exhibit large capacitance, high power and energy densities (approaching those of current-generation Li-ion batteries), and enable repetitive energy storage and power supply with an excellent cycle life. Ultimately, these structural features work co-operatively, leading to exceptional energy storage and power supply capacities.
