ARPA-E awarding $39M to 16 projects to grow the domestic critical minerals supply chain

Green Car Congress

RECLAIM: Electrochemical Lithium and Nickel Extraction with Concurrent Carbon Dioxide Mineralization ($2,999,997). The technologies use electricity to extract valuable metal ions from the surrounding mineral matrix at sub-boiling temperatures. Feedstocks will include Li/Ni/Ca/Mg-rich igneous and sedimentary minerals.

Roskill forecasts Li-ion battery demand to increase more than ten-fold by 2029 to >1,800GWh

Green Car Congress

Roskill forecasts that Li-ion battery demand will increase more than ten-fold by 2029, reaching in excess of 1,800GWh capacity. In the late 2020s, Li-ion technologies could see increasing competition from other battery technologies, though Li-ion cells are expected to maintain their dominant position, Roskill said.

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

Stanford researchers develop new electrolysis system to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

A continuous, highly oxygen evolution reaction-active NiFe electrocatalyst layer drawing anodic currents toward water oxidation and an in situ-generated polyatomic sulfate and carbonate-rich passivating layers formed in the anode are responsible for chloride repelling and superior corrosion resistance of the salty-water-splitting anode.
