Saltworks deploys two FusionRO plants for lithium and water reuse applications
Canada-based Saltworks Technologies, which supplies systems for industrial wastewater treatment and lithium refining, has deployed two FusionRO plants to international clients. FusionRO, a form of low-salinity rejection reverse osmosis (LSRRO), achieves a brine concentration of sodium chloride exceeding 220,000 mg/L at 50% lower capital expenditure and operating expenditure than evaporators, according to the company. One… Read more »
Zeta Energy makes a breakthrough in lithium-sulfur battery technology
Cheap, abundant and sustainable. Sulfur may not be the most glamorous of elements—some may associate it with rotten eggs, stinky well water, or even the devil, as invoked in a country preacher’s fire-and-brimstone sermon. But as a component of an EV battery cathode, sulfur has a lot to offer. The yellow stuff is lighter and… Read more »
GreenPower to develop New Mexico electric school bus pilot program
US-based EV manufacturer GreenPower Motor has signed a contract with the state of New Mexico to implement an electric school bus pilot project. The two-year pilot project will deploy three GreenPower Type A Nano BEAST Access school buses in the 2025-2026 school year and three GreenPower Type D BEAST and Mega BEAST school buses in… Read more »
Litus deploys plug-and-play modular lithium extraction pilot unit
Critical mineral and battery metal company Litus has deployed its lithium extraction pilot unit in the field. The deployment is a step forward in the scale-up of Litus LiNC, the company’s one-step lithium extraction system that is designed to economically harvest lithium from low-concentration brines. The company has operations in North America, Europe and the… Read more »
Ionic closes $29-million Series B round to produce battery materials in Utah
Ionic Mineral Technologies, a vertically-integrated US producer of advanced materials for the energy, defense and technology sectors, has closed a $29-million Series B financing round. The oversubscribed round, which exceeded its initial $25-million target, will enable the company to expand capacity at its facility in Provo, Utah, accelerating production of its Ionisil and IonAl battery… Read more »
Argonne researchers develop low-cost membrane to extract lithium from water
Scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, have developed a new membrane technology designed for efficient lithium extraction from seawater and underground saltwater reserves. The membrane utilizes vermiculite clay, a widely available and inexpensive material that costs approximately $350 per ton. Researchers… Read more »
Scientists develop lithium-air battery design to increase energy storage
Scientists at the Illinois Institute of Technology and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new approach based on a four-electron reaction process to produce lithium-air batteries that have higher energy density than current Li-ion technology. So far, lithium-air battery demonstrations have been limited to only one- or two-electron reaction processes, resulting in the formation of… Read more »
Taiwan Semi introduces new automotive-qualified rectifiers
Taiwan Semiconductor, a global supplier of discrete power electronics devices, LED drivers, analog ICs and ESD protection, has introduced two new series of high-voltage rectifiers manufactured to AEC-Q101 standards and offered in automotive- and commercial-grade versions. The fast-recovery HS1Q Series has a 1,200 V, 1 A rating and the 1,600 V standard-recovery SxY Series comes… Read more »
How the transition from graphite to silicon-anode batteries will revolutionize the EV industry
Q&A with Group 14’s CEO As EV makers continue to grapple with the challenges of using traditional lithium-ion batteries, including alleviating concerns about range anxiety, safety and raw material sourcing, battery material manufacturers are exploring alternative chemistries. There has been talk about using silicon anodes to replace graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries for several years…. Read more »
