The demand for nickel raw materials will increase greatly, and the high-nickel power battery of new energy vehicles will increase the cruising range

News on March 13 According to CCTV Finance, with the continuous development of new energy vehicles, the demand for ternary batteries as one of its power batteries is also increasing. Nickel sulfate is one of the indispensable raw materials for the manufacture of ternary battery positive electrodes. The global production of nickel sulfate last year was 230,000 tons, while my country's production of nickel sulfate was about 140,000 tons, accounting for about 60% of global production. IT Home was informed that some factory production staff said that the output of nickel products in the factory was not large in 2018 and 2019, but with the rapid development of the new energy industry, the factory’s nickel output has doubled since 2020. Even several times of growth. According to industry insiders, in the three metals of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the ternary material system, after the nickel metal content increases, the battery's cruising range will increase under the same conditions. Therefore, in terms of technological development trends, high nickel and low cobalt will increase Become the development trend of the new energy automobile industry. The development of high nickel will also lead to a huge increase in demand for nickel.
