UP Catalyst CO2-derived carbon nanotube electrode material boosts cycle life in Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Tests conducted by Titirici Group , a multidisciplinary research team based at Imperial College London, have found that a novel carbon nanotube electrode material derived from CO 2 —produced by Estonian nanotech company UP Catalyst ( earlier post )—enhances the cyclability of sodium-ion batteries. From every 3.7

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. We take that black mass as the input to our process, which is then powered by 100% renewable, carbon-free energy. The whole batteries go in, so the plastics get burned, the carbon gets burned, there’s a lot of emissions.

Jervois to acquire SMP nickel & cobalt refinery in Brazil; concentrate from Idaho for refining, cobalt metal back to US

Green Car Congress

Niquelandia provided the SMP Refinery with nickel carbonate. purity, exceeding the base specification required by the London Metal Exchange (LME). Jervois has not included this conversion into its current development plans. Nickel and cobalt recoveries averaged 99% and 96%, respectively, over SMP Refinery’s operating life.
