The increase in battery demand drives the demand for critical materials. In 2022, lithium demand exceeded supply (as in 2021) despite the 180% increase in production since 2017. In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt and 10% of nickel demand was for EV batteries. Just five years earlier, in 2017, these. . In 2022, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) remained the dominant battery chemistry with a market share of 60%, followed by lithium iron phosphate (LFP) with a share of just. . With regards to anodes, a number of chemistry changes have the potential to improve energy density (watt-hour per kilogram, or Wh/kg). For example, silicon can be used to replace all or some of the graphite in the anode in order to make it lighter and thus increase. [pdf]
This strategy represents a whole of government effort, developed with business. The government’s 2030 vision is for the UK to have a globally competitive battery supply chain that supports economic prosperity and the net zero transition.
Some dramatically different approaches to EV batteries could see progress in 2023, though they will likely take longer to make a commercial impact. One advance to keep an eye on this year is in so-called solid-state batteries.
11 new battery energy storage sites (>7 MW), with a total capacity of 413 MW, came online in Q2 of 2023. This means that the average size of new batteries was 38 MW - but the median was just 24 MW. Essentially, one particularly large site skewed this average:
In China, battery demand for vehicles grew over 70%, while electric car sales increased by 80% in 2022 relative to 2021, with growth in battery demand slightly tempered by an increasing share of PHEVs. Battery demand for vehicles in the United States grew by around 80%, despite electric car sales only increasing by around 55% in 2022.
Other solid-state-battery players, like Solid Power, are also working to build and test their batteries. But while they could reach major milestones this year as well, their batteries won’t make it into vehicles on the road in 2023.
Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021, primarily as a result of growth in electric passenger car sales, with new registrations increasing by 55% in 2022 relative to 2021.

Aluminium–air batteries (Al–air batteries) produce electricity from the reaction of in the with . They have one of the highest of all batteries, but they are not widely used because of problems with high anode cost and byproduct removal when using traditional electrolytes. This has restricted their use to mainly military applications. However, an with aluminium batteries has the potential for up to eight times the range of a As the demand for cleaner, more sustainable, and longer-lasting energy storage solutions grows, aluminium-air batteries have emerged as a promising technology. [pdf]
Here, aluminum–air batteries are considered to be promising for next-generation energy storage applications due to a high theoretical energy density of 8.1 kWh kg −1 that is significantly larger than that of the current lithium-ion batteries.
The aluminum–air battery is considered to be an attractive candidate as a power source for electric vehicles (EVs) because of its high theoretical energy density (8100 Wh kg −1), which is significantly greater than that of the state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
Aluminum–air batteries are remarkable due to their high energy density (8.1 kWh kg −1), light weight (2.71 g cm −3), environmentally friendly, good recyclability, and low cost [137,138]. Aluminum–air batteries consist of an aluminum anode, an air cathode and an electrolyte which is salty, alkaline, and nonaqueous solutions.
Aluminum–air (Al–air) batteries, both primary and secondary, are promising candidates for their use as electric batteries to power electric and electronic devices, utility and commercial vehicles and other usages at a relatively lower cost.
Owing to their attractive energy density of about 8.1 kW h kg −1 and specific capacity of about 2.9 A h g −1, aluminum–air (Al–air) batteries have become the focus of research.
The Al–air battery has proven to be very attractive as an efficient and sustainable technology for energy storage and conversion with the capability to power large electronic devices and vehicles. This review has summarized recent developments of Al anode, air cathode, and electrolytes in Al–air batteries.
