| Chemical name | Material | Coulombic efficiency1 | Notes |
| Battery chemistries with cobalt include: | |||
| Lithium Cobalt Oxide2 (LCO) | LiCoO2 (60% Co) | Good, only slight drop at 50–60°C | High capacity, limited power; fragile. Mobile phone, laptop |
| Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide2 (NMC) | LiNiMnCoO2 (10–20% Co) | Good, small drop at 60°C | High capacity, high power, tolerant to abuse. Power tools, e-bikes, EV, medical, UPS |
| Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide2 (NCA) | LiNiCoAlO2 (9% Co) | N/A | Electric powertrain (Tesla Model S), grid storage |
| Chemistries without cobalt oxide include: | |||
| Lithium Manganese Oxide2 (LMO) | LiMn2O4 | Poor, CE is low, drops further at 40°C | High capacity, high power, tolerant to abuse. Power tools, e-bikes, EV, medical, UPS |
| Lithium Ferrous Phosphate/Lithium Iron Phosphate2 (LFP) | LiFePO4 | Moderate, CE drops at 50–60°C | High capacity, high power, tolerant to abuse. Power tools, e-bikes, EV, medical, UPS |
| Lithium Titanate3 (LTO) | Li4Ti5O12 | Excellent | Very durable but expensive and low specific energy |
