More EV battery activity is stirring over at the Hell’s Kitchen geothermal brine lithium supply project.
Stanford researchers are looking to build a better battery management system based on real world experience.
The world’s largest hard-rock lithium mine is the Pilbara Minerals’ Pilgangoora Mine situated in Western Australia. Just a few years ago, people were discussing the scarcity of lithium (you don’t see much around, if you ain’t looking for it.) Then the major concern was that lithium was mainly being sourced … [continued]
It is really good to see that some people have started tracking some data and deducing what has been going on in South Africa’s solar PV and now also lithium-ion battery storage scene. Recently, we reported that some analysis by Johannesburg-based Gaylor Montmasson-Clair, a Senior Economist at Trade, Industrial Policy … [continued]
Tailoring the molecular structure of organic carbonates in commercial electrolytes reduces the fire hazard of batteries. Nonfluorinated, nonflammable electrolytes present a viable route to achieving thermally stable high-performance batteries.
When we think of where lithium comes from, we think of South America (Chile specifically), Australia, and the US a bit — with processing in China, of course. We don’t think of Africa. However, Africa has resources, and the expectation is that the continent will be a much bigger source … [continued]
Offices: Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies (AMMTO) and the Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) Funding Amount: $10.9 Million FOA Number: DE-FOA-0002823 Description On July 24, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $10.9 million for 10 projects across nine states that will advance innovative technologies to extract and convert battery-grade lithium from geothermal brine … [continued]
I was recently able to interview Celina Mikolajczak, Chief Battery Technology Officer at Lyten. Previously, she worked with Tesla for more than 6 years as a top battery engineer and manager. She’s also spent time at Panasonic, Uber, and Quantumscape. She’s excited about bringing lithium-sulfur batteries into a new era … [continued]
Taiwan is a tech giant, and now it’s going to be home to the newest lithium-ion battery recycling plant. RecycLiCo Battery Materials Inc. and Zenith Chemical Corporation have created a 50–50 joint venture for the project, which will be able to recycle 2,000 metric tons per year of black mass … [continued]
