A team partially replaced lithium in a lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material.

As you shop for new batteries for your devices, you'll most often come across two types — lithium and alkaline. While on the surface, they might look pretty similar, inside, they're worlds apart.

Above each house in the village, shimmering in the evening sun, these black flags represent the Indigenous Lickanantay people's resistance to the lithium mining that many say is tearing their ...

Bolivia holds the world's largest proven lithium reserves but faces challenges in developing them due to low lithium purity, lack of infrastructure, and political instability. The country has ...

Lithium may be the key component in most modern batteries, but it doesn't make up the bulk of the material used in them. Instead, much of the material is in the electrodes, where the lithium gets ...

The discovery of 40 million metric tons of lithium in the McDermitt Caldera positions the US to become a major player in the global lithium market. The Thacker Pass project, set to begin ...

A massive lithium find in California's Salton Sea region could help boost domestic supplies of the mineral, which plays a critical role in production of electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

A new geological survey has discovered enough lithium to meet global demand for the next six years. The study, led by the United States Geological Survey, discovered between 5 million and 19 ...

Arkansas may be home to a vast resource that could reshape the world's energy needs: a valuable battery component called lithium that's been nicknamed "white gold" and "the new gasoline." ...

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Arkansas' lithium boom is ramping up—a billion-dollar project to extract and produce commercial lithium in the southwest part of the state is set to receive significant ...

He owns a Porsche Taycan powered by a lithium-ion battery, the same kind that keeps all electric vehicles running, not to mention iPhones and chainsaws and military drones and pacemakers and so on.

Before John B. Goodenough created the rechargeable lithium-ion battery in 1980, there wasn't much interest in Lithium. By the middle of the following decade the lithium-ion battery became the go ...
