A team of researchers from Canada and the US has developed a system that quickly and efficiently converts carbon dioxide into simple chemicals via CO 2 electrolysis. The researchers combined a copper electrocatalyst with an ionomer [polymers that conduct ions and water] assembly that intersperses sulfonate-lined paths for the H 2 O with fluorocarbon channels for the CO 2.

In 2019, global deployment of nickel in passenger EV batteries amounted to 59,271 tonnes, an increase of 39% over the amount deployed in 2018, according to Adamas Intelligence’s web-based EV Battery Capacity and Battery Metals Tracker. By EV type, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were responsible for 76% of all passenger EV battery nickel deployed globally in 2019, up from 71% in 2018, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) were responsible for 4% (down from 5% in 2018) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs
