China dominates BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) lithium-ion battery supply chain ranking in 2020, having quickly surpassed Japan and Korea that were leaders for the majority of the previous decade. Sustainability and carbon emissions associated with the supply chain are of growing importance. The US is in sixth place in 2020.

A international team of researchers, led by Lancaster University in the UK and Jilin University in China, reports the first organically synthesized sp?sp sp 3 hybridized porous carbon, OSPC?1. The new carbon shows electron conductivity, high porosity, the highest uptake of lithium ions of any carbon material to?date

Ions (electrons) flow between the electrodes, passing through the electrolyte, to create an electric current. Another approach under development is adding lithium salt to the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries to reduce flammability. All three components offer opportunities for improvement.

BNEF predicts that lithium-ion battery prices, already down by nearly 80% per megawatt-hour since 2010, will continue to tumble as electric vehicle manufacturing builds up through the 2020s. trillion to other zero-carbon technologies such as hydro and nuclear. Production rose by 56 mtoe in China and 23 mtoe in the US.

While other commodities are floundering or completely collapsing in this market, lithium—the critical mineral in the emerging battery gigafactory war—is poised to explode, and going forward Nevada is emerging as the front line in this pending American lithium boom.

The researchers devised a one-pot synthesis method that is simple, cheap, scalable and uses only Earth-abundant elements (Al, Ti, O, H, C and S)—and therefore can be used for mass production. They converted the alumina layer to titania (TiO 2 ), a better conductor of electrons and lithium ions when it is very thin.

The B2 (a cousin to the B1 wagon) hasn’t been completely killed off and in 2023 the company said “engineers are once again working on developing the SUV and pickup” The B2 wasn’t looking like being cheap despite the simplicity of its aluminium body. We’re watching on with interest.
