Cobalt-Free Batteries Could Power Cars of the Future
MIT chemists developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could reduce the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals. Many electric vehicles are powered by batteries that contain cobalt — a metal that carries high financial, environmental, and social costs. MIT researchers have now designed a battery material that … [continued]
Australia To Jump Into LFP Industry
Electric vehicles need batteries. Batteries need cathodes. Australian mining needs to move up the value chain. All these needs will be met by the establishment of Avenira’s LFP cathode manufacturing plant in Darwin, in Australia’s Northern Territory. The cathode manufacturing plant will be linked to Avenira’s Wonarah phosphate project 1010 … [continued]
