Sila Nanotechnologies has silicon-dominant anode products that drop into existing battery manufacturing processes, replace graphite entirely, and deliver significantly higher energy density at the cell-level with lower swelling. Sila Nanotechnologies emerged from stealth mode last month, partnering with BMW to …

Vanadium is a largely obscure metal often used in making steel. It retains its hardness at high temperatures, so it’s ideal for making drill bits, engine turbines and other parts that generate heat. In the oilsands, Vanadium is one of …

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have discovered a new approach for developing a rechargeable non-aqueous magnesium-metal battery. Scientists have pioneered a method to enable the reversible chemistry of magnesium metal in the noncorrosive carbonate-based …

We’re facing an imminent crisis in global lithium markets. Demand is growing exponentially, and lithium consumers are facing a 100,000-ton shortfall by 2025. Traditional lithium brine projects take too long to put into production. At up to 48 months, they …

Tesla will be the first Semi customer. They plan to use the Tesla Semi for our own logistics by transporting Model 3 components from Gigafactory 1 to Fremont. Additionally, our initial fleet customers who placed reservations for the Tesla Semi …

•Crumpled graphene particles can readily assemble to yield a scaffold •The scaffold can stabilize scalable Li loading within tolerable volume fluctuation •High Coulombic efficiency and plating/stripping capacity were achieved Context and Scale With its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical …

Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) already sells the most batteries to the biggest electric-vehicle makers in the biggest EV market: China. They plan to use money from a pending initial public offering backed by Goldman Sachs to provide batteries to EV …
