Cobalt Hydroxide
Cobalt hydroxide is used in the production of lithium-ion battery cathodes, where it serves as a foundational precursor for electric vehicle batteries and large-scale energy storage systems. Beyond the battery supply chain, this commodity is widely utilized to manufacture industrial catalysts, specialized paint and varnish drying agents, and blue pigments for the ceramics and glass sectors. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) dominates extraction by mining roughly 70% to 75% of the world's supply as a by-product of copper and nickel operations. This unrefined material is then predominantly exported to China, which commands the global refining market by processing the Congolese hydroxide into battery-grade chemicals, alongside emerging secondary processing hubs in countries like Indonesia.
