Lithium is the core component of the most popular battery technology: lithium-ion batteries. This means electric vehicles and stationary batteries are highly reliant on this material. The second most popular technology — lithium iron phosphate (LFP) — also uses lithium, so the most likely alternative will still need large amounts of lithium.
For example, the emergence of post-LIB chemistries, such as sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, or solid-state batteries, may mitigate the demand for lithium and cobalt. 118 Strategies like using smaller vehicles or extending the lifetime of batteries can further contribute to reducing demand for LIB raw materials. 119 Recycling LIBs emerges as a
