ORNL researchers develop new electrolyte for extreme fast charging

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and colleagues have developed a novel high-performance electrolyte (HPE) consisting of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ) and carbonates to support extreme fast charging (XFC). The cell recharged 80% of its capacity in 10 minutes.

Roskill sees recovery in lithium industry, buoyed by demand from rechargeable battery applications

Green Car Congress

Despite the trend toward transportation electrification, the lithium industry has had a rough few years. In its new Lithium Outlook to 2030 report, Roskill notes that the prolonged downward trend for lithium compound and mineral concentrate prices has caused a difficult environment for many lithium producers since 2018.
