Elevated Materials plans to triple production of lithium metal films in 2026
Elevated Materials is focused on scaling production this year to meet increasing customer demand. The company closed 2025 with record output of ultra-thin lithium metal films, shipping to more than 30 customers worldwide. It delivered more than 100 kilometers of lithium film to a single customer, which it said reflects strong market demand for high-quality,… Read more »
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 »

New findings could lead to more stable and safer lithium metal batteries
New research from Chalmers University of Technology shows why lithium metal batteries have short lifespans and how to extend them by creating the metal electrode directly in the battery cell. Lithium-ion batteries with metal electrodes instead of graphite electrodes are gaining attention. However, metal electrodes are reactive, making it hard to produce a long-lasting cell…. Read more »
Sakuu manufactures lithium metal cell using dry process
US solid-state battery specialist Sakuu has produced its lithium metal Cypress battery cell using a fully dry process. The company has now produced commercial-grade lithium-metal anode battery cells using both wet and dry electrode manufacturing. The batteries can run for 1,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge (DoD) to 80% state of health (SOH), providing… Read more »
