The electrification of our world is driving a strong increase in demand for lithium. Energy storage is paramount in electric and hybrid vehicles, in green but intermittent energy sources, and in smart grids in general. ...

We investigate the Li isotope composition and the Li concentrations of metamorphic and sedimentary rocks of the Palaeozoic (Pz) basement in the Central Andes and follow the trace of the Li in the Cenozoic volcanic rocks ...

Lithium (Li) metal has been considered as an important anode candidate to reach more powerful energy storage devices with higher gravimetric and volumetric capacities. Nevertheless, the growth of high surface area lithium ...

First-principles calculations are undertaken to analyze the properties of carbon-silicon hybrid materials consisting of silicon modified graphene and defective graphene to evaluate the stability of the structure and their ...

The dismutation of electrochemically generated soluble lithium superoxide with the formation of a lithium peroxide deposit on Au has been studied by addition of lithium ions and following the mass uptake detected by the ...

The cumulative availability curve shows the quantities of a mineral commodity that can be recovered under current conditions from existing resources at various prices. The future availability of a mineral commodity depends ...

Glycol ethers, or glymes, have been recognized as good candidates as solvents for lithium-air batteries because they exhibit relatively good stability in the presence of superoxide radicals. Diglyme (bis(2-methoxy-ethyl)ether), ...
