As the world gradually transitions from fossil fuels to clean energy, the demand for lithium, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries, has skyrocketed. Australia estimates that within five years, the revenue generated from lithium mining will equal that of thermal coal. ...  more

GUS Tech, which specializes in lithium-titanate-oxide (LTO) batteries and high-nickel ternary materials, inaugurated its factory in the Zhongli Industrial Park on April 26th. The company invested a total of NTD 4 billion into the fab, which has generated 300 job opportunities. ...  more

In order to lower the potential range anxiety for consumers, various auto and cell manufacturers have been working to extend the driving range of EVs, and Toshiba has recently developed a new lithium battery for large EVs with 1.5 times the capacity thanks to the negative electrode (anode) materials produced by niobium oxide. ...  more

Various energy news websites have reported that construction started in June for Spain’s first GW-scale production base for lithium battery cells. The base is located in Noblejas, a municipality in the province of Toledo and within the autonomous region of Castilla-La Mancha. The main developer of this project is Phi4Tech, a company specializing in graphene-related technologies. The base is scheduled to begin pilot production before the end of this year. ...  more

South Korean scientists have recently achieved breakthroughs in the study of lithium batteries, and we are now one step closer to safe lithium batteries that contain a long lifespan thanks to the new ultra-high lithium metal battery.  ...  more

Should Harvard’s experimental “sandwich-like” solid state lithium batteries gain market viability, not only will they maintain thousands of charge/discharge cycles and longer lifespans, but they will also enable EVs to be charged from zero to full within 10 minutes. ...  more

Spare lithium-ion batteries must not be placed inside check-in luggage, whereas electronic devices must be turned off before checking in, and there are also a restriction to the number of handheld devices allows when boarding, in order to avoid short circuit and fire from lithium-ion batteries or portable batteries that would trigger flight risks. Global safety certification company UL has now released a new standard targeted at battery fire containment in the hope of strengthening the safety management on lithium batteries on air transportation. ...  more

Hot on the heels of electric vehicles dominating the airwaves, many have been expressing concerns over how to recycle automotive li-ion batteries. For the first time ever, Volkswagen recently unveiled their battery recycling facility. Now you too can take a look at how the German automaker makes use of discarded batteries and removes all doubts about the environmental impact of their battery recycling operations. ...  more
