Emilie Bodoin, founder and CEO of Pure Lithium, explains how lithium metal batteries differ from other battery chemistries in the energy transition, as well as the challenges to producing a commercially-viable and truly solid-state battery for use in electric vehicles

New electric vehicle (EV) battery plant announcements have exploded in the United States, however critical supply chain questions remain unsolved

Competition to establish market share in the battery-grade manganese sulfate market in China is heating up, with expected growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market driving new participants into the sector so far in 2022

While huge investments are being made to design, manufacture and improve electric vehicles, solutions to the means of charging rapidly growing numbers of them are needed too

The sharp rise in battery raw material prices has amplified the cost difference between nickel-based CAMs and LFP, increasing interest in LFP-powered electric vehicles

As the world-wide push to electrify transport gains momentum, potential pitfalls have become apparent. The large-scale charging of electric vehicles, for example, risks overloading power grids and may not be sustainable, battery innovator Dr. Avishek Kumar told Fastmarkets in an interview

Both battery electric and hydrogen technologies are vital for future transport emissions goals and customer needs

The prices for electrodes made from synthetic graphite have been rising strongly as a result of feedstock cost rises, increased competition and tightened product availability

An industry expert has warned that in the next ten years demand for high-purity manganese is likely to exceed supply unless more attention is paid to the battery-grade metal

The decarbonization of the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain will be consumer-driven, industry experts told Fastmarkets EnergyCensus on the sidelines of the Electrified conference in London on Wednesday
