Sparc Technologies, QUT partner to develop a hard carbon anode material from bio-waste for Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The partnership will begin with a project in the battery anode space with the development of a novel process for the production of hard carbon from bio-waste. Using readily available, sustainable bio-waste material will provide Sparc with a strong environmental value proposition when compared with conventional sources of hard carbon.

ORNL advancing LDH sorbent to recover lithium from geothermal brine wastes

Green Car Congress

The LDH sorbent is made up of layers of the materials, separated by water molecules and hydroxide ions that create space, allowing lithium chloride to enter more readily than other ions such as sodium and potassium. In a bench-scale demonstration, the LDH sorbent recovered more than 91% of lithium from a simulated brine.

Ningbo researchers propose mixed-ion Li/Na batteries

Green Car Congress

Lithium-intercalation compounds and sodium-intercalation compounds are used for anode and cathode, respectively. During charging (or discharging), the storage (or release) of Li + takes place at anode, and the release (or storage) of Na + occurs at cathode. Second, this electrochemical method is green and energy efficient.
