Amazing stuff.
make car battery big, use nano liquid, issue fixed?
Lithium batteries are an ecological nightmare and I can’t wait for better technology
Cobalt: https://earth.org/cobalt-mining/
This is irrelevant. First, there are chemistries not using cobalt, as explained already. Second, elemental cobalt is infinitely recyclable as all elemental metals, thus we don’t need to mine that much more, just like we don’t mine as much iron ore as we did centuries ago (relative to overall consumption). Yes, we still mine a lot of iron ore, but we recycle a lot as well.
If it still relies on mined lithium, it’s some pretty bad stuff. Come to find out mining isn’t super great for the environment.
Much of the lithium is mined in Australia or via salt brines in Chile.
It’s not worse environmentally than the other mined materials that go into a vehicle.
Betteridge’s law of headlines… “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”
This article uses “nano” way too much for me to take it seriously. It is written like a marketing piece.
