Skyonic’s electrolytic carbon capture technology, SkyMine, selectively captures CO 2 , acid gases and heavy metals from flue gas. The captured pollutants are mineralized into solid products, including sodium bicarbonate, which are stored, transported and sold as safe, stable solids.

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. These nanodots, roughly 10 nanometers wide, were connected to the MXene’s layers by carbon materials. A paper on their work is published in the journal Small. Alhajji, E.,

John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C. A = lithium or sodium (Li or Na), M represents a metal and 1 ≤ n < z. —Lu et al.

From how much they cost and weigh to the amount of power they store and how long they take to charge, electric vehicle (EV) batteries have a significant impact on EVs themselves, the EV industry as a whole, and ultimately EV buyers. Researchers haven’t yet come up with a battery that does everything we want, but they’re making progress.

The Jadar project would support the evolution of Rio Tinto—one of the world’s largest miners—into a chemical producer to make battery-grade lithium carbonate, a critical mineral used in large-scale batteries for electric vehicles and storing renewable energy. This is a significant moment for the lithium industry.

Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. Aqua Metals works with companies that are really good at collecting, safely transporting, storing, crushing and separating spent lithium-ion batteries. That’s a whole suite of capabilities and technologies to generate that black mass.

Substantial progress in battery technology is essential if we are to succeed in an energy transition towards a more carbon-neutral society. When moving to a Li–air cell, the positive electrode is replaced by a porous carbon electrode over which the oxygen reduction/oxidation takes place. Source: Grey and Tarascon. Click to enlarge.
