Driving beyond cobalt for EV battery technology(28/07/2022)
Today, most lithium-ion batteries use the chemical element cobalt as a foundation for their cathode material (the portion of the lithium-ion cell which determines storage capacity). Cobalt cathode cells provide longer-range performance and lower difficulty in charge measurement and management, when compared to other chemistries. However, the mining of cobalt has long been a hotly contested topic...
