A big challenge for the EV and renewable energy revolution is that the much-needed batteries are made from lithium, a relatively rare and pricey metal. Rather than focusing on other metals like magnesium, a team of scientists from RMIT University in Melbourne have figured it out to build rechargeable “proton” batteries from abundant carbon and […]
It’s still early days for the promise of safer, energy-dense solid-state rechargeable batteries. However, a team of scientists at the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research have just discovered a fast magnesium-ion solid-state conductor that will go a long way towards making non-flammable batteries with more capacity. In current commercial batteries, a liquid electrolyte transports […]
REUTERS/Nir Elias What the market hasn’t yet fully priced is the lithium battery market and the impending lithium commodity supercycle that the EV revolution is likely to command. The consensus is underestimating the pace of EV adoption. Lithium supply will likely lag until lithium prices spike high enough to justify huge mining investments. The electric […]
Reuters/Ivan Alvarado Forget about oversupply of lithium, and ignore the naysayers. There’s no bubble here. Everyone’s talking about electric cars, and lithium miners are getting more than a kick out of it. They’re enjoying share price rallies and better growth prospects, all thanks to boisterous demand-growth predictions. Since lithium demand won’t stop growing, voices caution […]
The asphalt-derived material before (left) and after it has been coated with lithium. (credit: Tour Group, Rice University) Most of the batteries we use, from our cell phones to our cars, rely on using lithium ions. As a result, their capacity is largely a product of how much lithium you can stuff into a given […]

SDG&E On Friday, Southern California utility San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) held a small press conference in Escondido to show off its brand new energy storage facility, a 30MW battery system capable of storing 120MWh of energy, which can serve 20,000 customers for four hours. SDG&E also introduced a 7.5MW battery system built in […]
