Lithium carbonate prices likely to fall below RMB 100,000, says chairman of battery maker Farasis Energy

CN EV Post

Lithium prices continue to fall in China today, with the average price of industrial-grade lithium carbonate falling below RMB 200,000 per ton for the first time in the current down cycle. Based on this situation this year, the price of lithium carbonate is expected to drop rapidly, Wang said.

Porous material polymerizes carbon dioxide at natural gas wellheads; less costly and energy-intensive approach

Green Car Congress

Particles of nitrogen-containing porous carbon polymerize CO 2 from natural gas under pressure at a wellhead. Scientists in the Rice University lab of chemist James Tour have developed materials that offer a lower cost, less energy-intensive way to separate carbon dioxide from natural gas at wellheads.

The Stunning Carbon Footprint of Plate Glass

Cars That Think

Like blast furnaces, float glass plants work nonstop for 11 to 15 years, which obviates the need to add large amounts of energy to restart the process. Plate-glassmaking is fairly energy intensive and cannot do without fossil fuels, using today’s practices. When cooled it can be cut into rectangles as large as 6 x 3.2

MIT team synthesizes all carbon nanofiber electrodes for high-energy rechargeable Li-air batteries

Green Car Congress

Gravimetric Ragone plot comparing energy and power characteristics of CNF electrodes based on the pristine and discharged electrode weight with that of LiCoO 2. This translates to an energy enhancement ~4 times greater than the state-of-the-art lithium intercalation compounds such as LiCoO 2 (~600 W h kg electrode -1 , the researchers said.
