Here’s another sign of the world’s lithium frenzy: Chinese factories that typically make ceramics for bathroom tiles are switching to supply the electric-vehicle battery material instead.
In part, the change reflects the sector’s struggles with overcapacity amid a deep malaise in China’s property market and the impact of higher fuel prices. Yet it’s also an illustration of how the battery supply chain is scouring every available corner to find new sources of lithium raw materials. Lithium has long been used to help bolster the strength of ceramics and to produce more vivid colors in glazes. Ceramics and glass still account for about 14% of all lithium demand, though that’s about halved in the past decade as requirements in the battery sector have surged, according to the US Geological Survey.
