#Silicon #anode #batteries have the potential to revolutionize #energy storage capabilities, which is key to meeting #climate goals and unlocking the full potential of #electric #vehicles. However, the irreversible depletion of #lithium ions in silicon anodes puts a major constraint on the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

@Timmy While there's lots of #nickel out there, the rate of scaling up battery-grade nickel production is believed to be slower than the capability to scale up #LFP production, hence the expected shift to LFP in the coming years.

So we've now covered the #anode and #cathode. The next greatest bulk comes from the casing (#steel) and the #electrolyte (mainly organic carbonates - a #petrochemical product). After this comes the #alumium and #copper current collector foils, then the...
