For companies that depend on crops such as rice and wheat or minerals such as lithium and iron, climate change has become a real and present threat. Rising temperatures result in more heat stress and more drought. That puts pressure…
Winning the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2019, the lithium-ion battery has become ubiquitous and today powers nearly everything, from smartphones to electric vehicles.In this graphic, we partnered with EnergyX to find out how these important pieces of technology work.…
Supplying the world with lithium is critical to the battery value chain and a successful transition from fossil fuels. Players like the U.S. and the EU, with increasingly large and growing lithium needs, will need to maximize local opportunities and…
Lithium-ion batteries are the gold standard, but there is much progress to be made. For example, one improvement would be to create solid-state batteries in order to eliminate the need for the flammable electrolyte that is inside lithium-ion batteries. Watch…
