High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. Researchers are working on ways to store more energy in the cathode materials by increasing nickel content. —Bi et al.

By Kamlesh & Raphae Every major automaker has announced plans to build Lithium-Ion battery gigafactories. Video: EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think! So there is a lot of Lithium out there, even if we continue to use Lithium-Ion batteries for the next 20 years, we are good.

Although estimates vary widely, the predicted penetration of lithium-ion technology into these large-volume markets could result in as much as a threefold increase of production for the cathode material, reaching nearly 400,000 tonnes per year by 2020. Note the trend in abundances of Al > Ca > Mg > Na > Li, and Fe > Mn > Ni > Co.

A team from Stanford University and Ruhr-Universität Bochum have demonstrated the novel concept of a “desalination battery” that uses an electrical energy input to extract sodium and chloride ions from seawater and to generate fresh water. A constant current is then applied in order to remove the ions from the solution.
