Lithium-sulfur batteries have exceptional theoretical capacity and performance in combination with an element in abundant supply. But the intricate reaction mechanism, particularly during discharge, ...

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for ...

Measuring water availability for lithium extraction can still be unpredictable, especially in the high-altitude Lithium Triangle in Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. Current models can overestimate how ...

The increasing demand for lithium to support electric vehicle production is placing a significant strain on global freshwater resources, especially in already arid regions like the Lithium Triangle. A ...

A lithium-air battery generates electricity by allowing lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the lithium anode through the electrolyte to the porous cathode, where they react with oxygen from the air to ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have quantified lithium intercalation rates across various battery materials and utilized this information to create a novel model explaining ...

A US company specializing in advanced water and resource recovery has announced the launch of the world’s first fully integrated lithium facility that extracts the metal from oilfield produced water.

Lithium deposit valued at $1.5 trillion is discovered and promises to boost batteries, but worries local indigenous ...
