Antimony is vital for many industries, including batteries, solar panels, flame retardants, and ammunition. Recently, the price has risen due to a supply shortage.
Researchers from MIT have demonstrated a techno-economic framework to compare the levelized cost of storage in redox flow batteries with chemistries cheaper and more abundant than incumbent vanadium.
The price of antimony closed 2024 just under $40,000/tonne leaving battery manufacturers wondering how much further the price of the metal will go in the year ahead. Antimony is a key alloy component in stationary lead batteries. The price of antimony has risen by 250% since the start of the year.
The surge in antimony prices has significant implications for various industries. Manufacturers of lead-acid batteries, solar panels, and flame-retardant materials are facing higher production costs. This could lead to increased prices for end consumers and potentially slow down the adoption of renewable energy technologies.
“Motive power batteries using tubular grids require a much higher antimony content in their lead alloys than automotive alloys, using antimony typically up to 5% or more for strength and the greater fluidity needed to cast those long, thin grid spines.
