Although the global economy is recovering well, the new crown pneumonia epidemic still causes troubles from time to time in some subdivisions
.
Recently, due to the expansion of the epidemic in Africa, the resource acquisition of lithium and cobalt suddenly went wrong, causing a "lithium cobalt shortage" in Europe
At present, automobile manufacturers all over the world are turning to electric vehicles, especially when the new crown pneumonia epidemic is breaking out and the energy and chemical industries are transforming
.
However, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the power battery production of electric vehicles relies too much on the three metals of lithium, cobalt, and nickel and their metal salts, and these raw materials only come from a few mineral deposits in a few areas
The outbreak in Africa just hit the circulation of cobalt
.
At present, Africa, especially the Congo (DRC), is the largest producer of cobalt, which is a battery material for new energy vehicles.
Recently affected by the epidemic, African resource shipments have been greatly reduced, and the prices of lithium and cobalt exported from Africa have soared
.
The price of lithium carbonate in Europe rose by 11.
In fact, the global battery industry has at least two ways to get rid of dependence on a few mineral deposits
.
One is to carry out battery recycling research so that the lithium, cobalt, and nickel in scrap batteries will not become hazardous waste, but will be recycled as raw materials
