The global shift towards net zero emissions has significantly increased demand for traditional commodities and created new markets, particularly within thebattery supply chainsupporting electric vehicles and energy storage systems. This paper explores the performance and trajectory of the lithium futures marke...
The omnipresence of lithium-ion batteries in mobile electronics, and hybrid and electric vehicles necessitates discovery of new lithium resources to meet rising demand and to diversify the global lithium supply chain. Here we demonstrate that lake sediments preserved within intracontinental rhyolitic calder...
The growing demand of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) in electric vehicle and large-scale energy storage could be an important issue for the next generation economy1,2. Solid electrolytes (SEs) are the key components to energy-density ASSBs by enabling Li metal anode and cathodes of high ...
Technological advances and developments of engineering industry bring more elaborate and complex devices in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. Reliability and safety become particularly important during operation. However, traditional fault diagnosis and maintenance strategies can not...

Electrode pastes with more LiOH such as t-0.7, t-0.6, and t-0.5 have higher viscosities at low shear rates, which are comparable to the one of t-Ref even though the course of the flow curves differs. Moving from there to lower LiOH/PAA ratios, a constant lowering of the viscosity at...
Evaporitic technology for lithium mining from brines has been questioned for its intensive water use, protracted duration and exclusive application to continental brines. In this Review, we analyse the environmental impacts of evaporitic and alternative
theoretical capacity is based on the molecular weight of the active unit and the charge transfers numbers.e,fshow the capacity retention and charge-discharge curves of Li||PVF cell at 60 °C, 300 μA cm−2, respectively. The cell was cycled at 50 μA cm−2in the first 5 cycles....
