New paper shows atomic-scale closeups of how a lithium-metal electrode ages
Lithium-metal batteries, which use anodes made of lithium metal rather than graphite, could offer great improvements in energy density and weight. The DOE’s Battery 500 Consortium has set a goal of developing lithium-metal EV batteries with triple the energy density of today’s Li-ion cells. Now scientists at Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory… Read more »

Panasonic Energy and Sumitomo Metal Mining collaborate to recycle nickel for Li-ion batteries
Japanese battery manufacturer Panasonic Energy has launched a recycling initiative for nickel used in lithium-ion battery cathode materials, in collaboration with Japanese non-ferrous metal refining and cathode material manufacturer Sumitomo Metal Mining. Through this new collaboration, battery scrap from Panasonic Energy’s Suminoe Factory in Osaka will be processed and partly recovered as nickel sulfate at… Read more »
Coreshell raises $24 million to fund commercialization of domestically sourced lithium-ion battery anode material
Battery technology company Coreshell has raised $24 million in funding to scale the production of its 60 Ah battery cells made with domestically-sourced metallurgical silicon. The funding round was led by Ferroglobe, a London-based producer of silicon and ferroalloys, and California-based venture capital firm Zeon Ventures. Other investors included Lane Ventures, Entrada Ventures, Foothill Ventures,… Read more »
Aqua Metals produces cathode active material from recycled nickel
US lithium-ion battery recycling firm Aqua Metals has produced cathode active material (CAM) from domestically sourced, recycled nickel. Aqua Metals recovered high-purity nickel from spent lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap using its AquaRefining process. The company refined the recycled nickel into battery-grade nickel nitrate. One of its manufacturing partners then used a low-carbon, waste-reducing… Read more »
