Lithium ion batteries are one of the most important technologies of the early 21st century. The world now cannot operate without them. To date, lithium ion batteries have primarily been used for IT and consumer applications such as mobile phones, portable PCs, power tools and other equipment requiring rechargeable power. However, new markets for lithium ion batteries are developing including hybrid and electric car (xEV) batteries and, eventually, energy storage systems (ESS).

Materials take up approximately 70% of lithium ion battery production costs. The primary materials used to make lithium ion batteries include: cathode, anode, separator and electrolyte. The market for these materials boasts the greatest mid- to long-term growth potential in the electronic materials industry today.
