Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Team PluginIndia The Lithium mining FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) created by some paid media organizations and random YouTube channels is so bad, that many people read headlines of such articles and assume that Lithium mining is the worst thing in the world and is worse than extracting and refining 10,000 liters of oil used by an average ICE car.

Sulfur–TiO2 yolk-shell cathode for Li-sulfur battery shows best long-cycle performance so far

Green Car Congress

The advantage of the yolk–shell structure is the presence of the internal void space that can accommodate the large volumetric expansion of sulfur during lithiation, thus preserving the structural integrity of the shell and minimizing polysulfide dissolution and enabling the high capacity retention.

The EV Transition Explained: Battery Challenges

Cars That Think

report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Software also allows for the decoupling of the internal mechanical connections needed in an ICE vehicle, permitting an EV to be controlled remotely or autonomously. In the next article in the series, we will look at whether the grid can handle tens of millions of EVs.
