Nov. 13, 2024 — An international team of scientists has identified a surprising factor that accelerates the degradation of lithium-ion batteries leading to a steady loss of charge. This ...
After decades of lithium-ion batteries dominating the market, a new option has emerged: batteries made with sodium ions. Scientists have been researching alternatives to lithium for years.
Industry analysts expect a rebound by year-end, however, as lithium, a key component in battery manufacturing, should benefit from increased demand for EVs in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Potassium-ion batteries have emerged as a strong alternative to traditional lithium-ion systems, thanks to the abundant and widely available potassium resources worldwide. This latest breakthrough ...
While most of the world's lithium is produced in Australia and South America, some two-thirds of it is processed in China, which also dominates EV-battery manufacturing. The US imports about 25% ...
