US DOE releases 2023 Critical Materials Assessment to evaluate supply chain security for clean energy technologies

Green Car Congress

Materials used in batteries for EVs and stationary storage are now considered to be critical. While cobalt (Co) was found to be critical in this and previous reports, lithium (Li) becomes critical in the medium term due to its broader use in various battery chemistries and the rampant growth of the EV industry.

Sulfur nanodots on nickel foam as high-performance Li-S cathode materials; carbon- and binder-free

Green Car Congress

A team at Nankai University in China has devised high-performance Li-sulfur battery cathode materials consisting of sulfur nanodots (2 nm average) directly electrodeposited on flexible nickel foam; the cathode materials incorporate no carbon or binder. However, the electrochemical inertness of bulk sulfur in the cathode of Li?S
