Chemists at the University of Waterloo have identified the key reaction that takes place in sodium-air batteries. Understanding how sodium-oxygen batteries work has implications for developing the more powerful lithium-oxygen battery, which has been proposed by some as the “holy grail” of electrochemical energy storage.

Hydro-Québec (Canada) and Technifin (South Africa) have entered into an intellectual property collaboration agreement relating to the licensing of their respective intellectual property (IP) in lithium titanate spinel oxide (LTO) technologies, notably for lithium-ion battery applications. It operates at 1.5

This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and it’s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada. For Umicore, our plans to build our pCAM and CAM gigafactory in Canada were made and announced before the IRA made headlines. Third is the choice of raw materials.

Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. Battery makers use a blend of CSG and synthetic graphite to form Li-ion battery anodes. The anode side of the battery is where electrons or ions are stored during charge and moved to the cathode side during discharge. Graphite is a pure form of carbon.
