Nanjing researchers design new Li-rich layered cathode

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Nanjing University (China) have introduced a new layered C2/m oxide—Li 2 Ni 0.2 Compared with Li 2 MnO 3 (LMO), LNMR displays superior capacity, a more stable capacity retention rate, higher energy density and average discharge voltage. In such materials, 1/3 of the TM sites are occupied by Li phase.

Researchers designs new deep eutectic solvent to recover valuable elements from spent LNCM batteries

Green Car Congress

A team from Central South University in China has developed a new type of deep eutectic solvent (DES) that can efficiently leach metal elements from spent Ni-Co-Mn lithium-ion batteries (LNCM). The leaching rates of Ni, Co, Mn, and Li can all reach 99% under the conditions of T=140°C, t=10 min and no reductant.

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.
