Alpha-En produces lithium metal anodes with lithium carbonate from Century Lithium’s Nevada plant
New York-based Alpha-En has successfully converted Century Lithium‘s lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) into battery-grade lithium-metal anodes. The lithium metal was produced using lithium carbonate derived from Century Lithium’s Angel Island project in Esmeralda County, Nevada and the associated demonstration plant in Nye County, Nevada. Century Lithium provided Alpha-En with a sample of 99.8% pure lithium carbonate… Read more »
CarbonScape pioneers a process to produce graphite locally from forestry byproducts
Cracking the carbon code Graphite, a crystalline form of carbon, is a critical ingredient in EV battery anodes, but it comes with some baggage. Most graphite is made from fossil fuels, and what’s worse, the vast majority of it comes from China, and establishing reliable sources of supply elsewhere is a long and complicated process….
