The world is shifting to electric vehicles to mitigate climate change. Here, we quantify the future demand for key battery materials, considering potential electric vehicle fleet and battery chemistry developme
Albemarle is a leading supplier of lithium salts, a critical ingredient for the batteries in electric vehicles. The flow of lithium ions from the negative to positive electrode in the battery system is what enables the battery to be recharged. Lithium is the material of choice due to its uniqu...
As drivers around the world switch to electric cars, new batteries that can store more energy, translating to longer driving distances before a car needs recharging, can't come soon enough. But researchers at NTNU have discovered that one promising material in the search for the next generation ...
Therefore, the main objective of this study focuses on improving the thermal and mechanical stability, energy storage efficiency, and safety of electric vehicle batteries by incorporating multifunctional materials, particularly phase-change materials (PCM) and shape memory alloys (SMA). By incorporating ...
The wide adoption of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles will require increased natural resources for the automotive industry. The expected rapid increase in batteries could result in new resource challenges and supply-chain risks. To strengthen the resilience and sustainability of automotive...
