Nickel

Driving Fast-Charging & Long-Duration Storage

Nickel is one of the four elements that are ferromagnetic at room temperature, along with Iron, Cobalt and Gadolinium. Although it was formally recognized as an element only in 1751, Nickel containing alloys have been used to mint coins in China as early as over 2000 years ago.

Today, surpassing other industrial uses, Nickel is ever more crucial for enhancing battery life cycle, energy density, output power and cost effectiveness. We are developing a robust supply chain for wide range of Nickel ores, concentrates, smelter intermediates and battery grade salts especially high-purity nickel sulfate and matte for Li-NMC and emerging sodium-ion batteries.

  • Nickel sulfate and hydroxide for NMC/NCA chemistries in e-mobility and ESS
  • Class-1 cathodes (>99.8% Ni) for ultra-pure, high-capacity energy storage
  • Precursor alloys (matte, FeNi, NPI) for both stainless and battery-grade conversion
  • Market integration with price hedging and structured pricing tools
  • Vertically integrating value chain up to battery manufacturing feedstock
