The typical recycling process for Li-ion batteries will get Lithium out of old batteries Under this drive, every type of battery can be recycled including Lead-acid and all types of Li-ion eBikeGo also claimed to be building infrastructure to recycle these batteries. In order to reduce the volume of EV battery waste an Indian EV […]
Volkswagen Group Opens First Electric Battery Recycling Plant In Salzgitter
The Volkswagen Group Components opened the Group’s first plant for recycling electric car batteries in Salzgitter. The aim is the industrialised recovery of valuable raw materials such as lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt in a closed loop together with aluminium, copper and plastics, achieving a recycling rate of more than 90% over the long term. […]
Two lithium battery plants to come up in Karnataka
Two lithium battery manufacturing plants will be started in the State with the objective of promoting e-vehicles and reducing air pollution, said Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan here on Saturday. He launched an e-vehicle rally, organised by the Rotary Club, at the Vidhana Soudha and said two units would be established in the Hubballi […]
Lithium price bust turns to boom as electric vehicle sales soar
Lithium prices in China had their strongest month in more than five years in January and are set to climb further as demand from booming electric vehicle (EV) sales begins to outstrip supply. LONDON: Lithium prices in China had their strongest month in more than five years in January and are set to climb further as demand from booming […]
India, Australia will gain from expanded trade of lithium resources: High Commissioner Barry O’Farrell
While speaking at a session of the Indo-Australian Chamber of Commerce he said both the countries stand to gain from the promise of expanding trade in lithium resources. New Delhi: Australia and India both gain from the promise of expanding trade in lithium resources, said the Australian High Commissioner, Barry O’Farrell on Thursday. While speaking […]
The ideal chemical battery: with sodium and no lithium
To ensure safe, high-performance batteries from environmentally friendly resources, lithium must be replaced by sodium. Swiss scientists have found a chemical solution for this. Cars, cell phones, cameras, most of the battery-powered devices in our daily lives are powered by lithium batteries. However, the disadvantage of these storage devices is that the electrolyte – the […]
Why Lithium Could Be a New Risk for Tesla and Other Electric-Vehicle Makers
It would seem electric vehicles are taking over. And that has huge implications for a related industry: lithium mining and production. Lithium-ion batteries are what power today’s electric cars and trucks and EV giant Tesla (ticker: TSLA) is planning for 3 terawatt-hours of battery-making capacity to supply its vehicles by 2030. That is an increase […]
Electric Vehicle Demand Will Spark Lithium Mining Reinvention
Lithium producers must reinvent mining methods for the key metal used in rechargeable batteries to meet rising demand from the electric-vehicle industry, according to Standard ..Read More.. Source : bloombergquint
The batteries of the future: Sodium instead of lithium
Sodium-ion rechargeable batteries could soon be a cheaper and resource-saving alternative to current lithium-ion cells. Powerful prototypes and groundbreaking findings in basic research make a breakthrough seem imminent. Electromobility, especially in combination with renewable electricity production, is regarded worldwide as a climate-friendly model for the future. However, a yearslong focus on the use of the […]
Researchers Say Sodium Can Replace Lithium in Batteries
An international team of scientists from NUST MISIS, Russian Academy of Science and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf found that instead of lithium (Li), sodium (Na) “stacked” in a special way can be used for batteries production. Sodium batteries will be significantly cheaper and equivalently or even more capacious. An article about the study is published in […]
