There are alternatives available, of course: nickel-cadmium (NiCd), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), and the so-called solid-state batteries. But either alternative requires large amounts of rare mineral to produce. Even in high-capacity lithium-based batteries, some nickel, cobalt, and manganese are required in addition to lithium.

When A sites are occupied by rare earths such as La, Pr, Nd or Sm that follows a sequence of decreasing ionic radius, the lattice parameter decreases, and at the same time, the lithium ion conductivity decreases as well. These results could also explain the decline of lithium ion conductivity when pressure is applied.5.
