The Importance of Class One Nickel for the EV Markets

Nickel might be one of the more abundant metals in the Earth''s crust, but it''s not all about just nickel, we want class one battery grade nickel. Could you explain the difference between the class one high-grade nickel that you need for batteries and the more common nickel that goes into stainless steel alloys?
