MIT team reexamines rates of Li-ion cost decline

Green Car Congress

The cost of the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used for phones, laptops, and cars has fallen significantly over the last three decades, and has been a major driver of the rapid growth of those technologies. Lithium-ion cell prices. An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science.

The raw materials crunch: How bad, how long, how to solve it?

Charged EVs

Farewell to falling prices. Absolutely, says George Miller, a Senior Price Analyst at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. In the short term, lithium and graphite are definitely the most at risk of entering shortage,” says Benchmark’s George Miller. Will the raw materials shortage put the brakes on that trend?

A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. Battery makers use a blend of CSG and synthetic graphite to form Li-ion battery anodes. The anode side of the battery is where electrons or ions are stored during charge and moved to the cathode side during discharge. Graphite is a pure form of carbon.
