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

Green Car Congress

The University of Texas at Arlington will develop acoustic stimulation and electrolytic proton production to produce lithium (Li) and nickel (Ni) from CO 2 -reactive minerals and rocks that contain calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), while sequestering CO 2 in the form of carbonate solids.

UCSD researchers improve method to recycle and renew used cathodes from Li-ion batteries via eutectic molten salts

Green Car Congress

Due to the rapid growth of electric vehicle markets, the worldwide manufacturing capacity of lithium-ion batteries is expected to reach hundreds of gigawatt hours per year in the next five years. Co 0.2 ), a popular cathode containing nickel, manganese and cobalt, which is used in many of today’s electric vehicles. 2019) “Ambient?Pressure

Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. Under such a scenario, the production of Li-ion batteries should expand hugely over the years to come, hence reviving the issue of finite Li reserves.
