A wireless world
Batteries and rechargeable batteries make our world “wireless”. From cell phones to laptops, medical devices to industrial automation and monitoring, the ability to operate electronic devices without cables or power supplies has made many innovations possible.
In recent years, electromobility, in particular, has led to an increasing demand for high-performance batteries that enable long driving times in order to establish a more efficient and environmentally friendly way of traveling.
Battery production is a complex process requiring a variety of raw materials and processes. Lithium-ion batteries, which are used in many electronic devices, require lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper and aluminum as key raw materials.
