The cathode is the heart of an electric car's battery cell. 🔋 In today’s "Battery ABC" series, we’re diving into the letter C for Cathode. It contains valuable raw materials like lithium, nickel, and cobalt, and plays a crucial role in both cost and sustainability. Want to know how it all works? Check out the video to learn more! ⚡️
In the upcoming episode, we'll feature the letter L. Stay tuned.

Welcome to the big battery ABC. This time we do the letter C for cathode. As the battery is the heart of the electric car, the cathode is the heart of the battery cell. This is because, in addition to other valuable raw materials, the cathode material also contains lithium. Here are three quick facts about the cathode for your next small talk. It's the size of orange. It largely determines costs. It is central to sustainability. First of all, let's check the job of the cathode and the battery cell. When? Charging lithium ions leave their homes in the direction of the anode when driving. That means when discharging, the lithium then returns home to the cathode. It consists of particles that are rolled onto aluminum foil. The particles contain a lot of valuable raw materials. Today, a 400K battery contains 41 kilos of nickel, 12 kilos of manganese and 9 kilos of cobalt, among other things. Some of these raw materials are scarce and expensive. Some of them may pose supply chain risks. That's why we're getting ready to recycle and reuse already today. What's more, our upcoming small electric models will be available with nickel and cobalt free batteries. The magic word for this LFP, LFP stands for lithium iron phosphate. It alternative cell chemistry for exactly the cathode, but that's another story we will tell soon. That was it for today as we continued. For big battery ABC looking at the sea for cathode. Thank you for joining us. Stay tuned. See you soon.
