这是什么？
A hard, bluish metal that keeps a battery's cathode stable so it does not overheat, and that holds its strength when red hot.
为何重要？
It is the stability ingredient in high-energy batteries and in the superalloy blades of jet engines — and roughly three-quarters of it comes out of one country.

其在岩石中的来源
所有含矿矿物 →实际承载以下内容的矿物： cobalt. 只有其中某种物质的富集程度足以覆盖开采成本，矿床才能成为矿体。
Heterogenite
The oxidised cobalt mineral of the Central African Copperbelt, and the ore most artisanal cobalt mining targets.
Cobaltite
A primary cobalt mineral, though most cobalt is actually recovered from copper and nickel ores rather than from cobalt…
Pentlandite
The main nickel sulfide ore mineral, and the host that also carries most by-product platinum-group metals.

Congolese cobalt to a battery cathode A metal almost nobody mines on purpose, carried out of a landlocked country by truck. Congolese oxide ore to finished cathode, without a smelter When the ore is oxide, acid will do what a smelter would otherwise have to. Indonesian laterite to a battery cathode A country that banned raw ore exports and built the processing industry instead.
