Lithium-ion batteries face insufficient capacity at low temperatures. The lithium-ion desolvation process in the vicinity of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is considered the major problem.

Battery-grade lithium carbonate, once dubbed “white gold,” dropped nearly 90 percent in price—from 568,000 yuan in November 2022 to just 60,600 yuan per tonne in May 2024, according to Daiwa ...

Non-rechargeable lithium batteries and battery systems are novel and unusual with respect to the state of technology considered when these requirements were codified. Non-rechargeable lithium ...

New low-temperature process creates safer, scalable lithium sulfide for solid-state batteries. Big players are testing it.

Global lithium production grew by over 35% year-on-year in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). New mines are still ramping up and Chinese players show little appetite for ...

FOLLOWING Bullen, Mason and Pauling's confirmation of the trimeric structure of anhydrous nickel-(II) acetylacetonate1, we report evidence for the persistence of the trimeric structure in solution.

The lithium metal batteries developed by CATL are said to have an energy density of 500 Wh/kg and a service life of 483 cycles – the latter is twice as much as previous prototypes, according to the ...

The amount of spent lithium-ion batteries that need disposal is expected to soar from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report ...

In the IEA’s stated-policies outlook, lithium use has already tripled since 2020 and is on track to triple again by 2035, topping 700,000 tons of lithium. Supply must sprint just to stand still ...

On April 4, 2025, China introduced new licensing requirements for specific materials, tightening export controls without fully halting trade. In light of China’s recent restrictions on rare earth ...

Inlyte Energy is reviving and scaling iron-sodium battery technology to create a safe, low-cost, and domestically sourced alternative to lithium-ion batteries for utility-scale storage.

Imperial County officials will be visiting Washington, D.C., soon to meet with the federal government to discuss critical minerals, especially lithium in the county, and the vast amount the county has ...
