Battery technology and recycling alone will not save the electric mobility transition from future cobalt shortages
A. Zeng, W. Chen, et al.
This study reveals crucial insights into the global cobalt supply risks tied to electric mobility transitions. Conducted by Anqi Zeng, Wu Chen, and their team, it highlights how battery technology and recycling efforts can address these challenges but warns of an impending cobalt shortage in the near future. Discover the regional dynamics of cobalt supply security and the urgent need for enhanced primary cobalt supply to meet global e-mobility goals.
