Graphene is a two-dimensional form of carbon in which the atoms are bonded into a honeycomb arrangement. Raindrops are not pure water; they contain salts that dissociate into positive and negative ions. The positively charged ions, including sodium, calcium, and ammonium ions, can bind to the graphene surface. Click to enlarge.

Furthermore, both lithium supply shortages and extreme price variations are frequently used as justifications for research on alternate cation electrochemical energy storage technologies such as sodium, magnesium, and potassium based systems. If prices do quadruple, it becomes, in principle, economical to extract lithium from sea water.

Researchers from Texas A&M and Purdue have developed a new cathode material for Li-S batteries based on what they call carbon compartments (CCs)—conductive 3D carbon mesostructures that possess macro- and meso-pores that allow for high loading of sulfur nanoparticles and enhanced electrolyte-sulfur contact.

It was placed on care and maintenance by CBA in 2016, when CBA also placed its Niquelandia mine and processing plant in Brazil on care and maintenance due to prevailing market conditions at the time. Niquelandia provided the SMP Refinery with nickel carbonate. The facility is located in an industrial zone in São Paulo, Brazil.
