A comparative assessment of resource-use criticality in advanced lithium-ion battery technologies
Open accessAbstract
The expected surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has influenced the supply chain of several raw materials and increased their market prices significantly. In recent years, rechargeable battery development projects have started addressing the topic of resource availability and their prices. As a result, metrics for assessing resource criticality are now being developed and applied to batteries. The Si-drive technology is currently in the development stage, and is targeting the use of abundant raw materials that will enable it to deliver longer cycle lifetime and higher energy density than the state-of-the-art. Therefore, this study evaluates resource-use criticality of the Si-drive and state-of-the-art batteries using a multidimensional criticality assessment method; i.e. the economic resource scarcity potential method (ESP). Results highlight problems in the supply chains of battery raw materials. On an aggregate level, the Si-drive technology scores lowest in resource-use criticality and presents itself, therefore, as a promising technology for large-scale deployment in electric mobility.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
