Challenges for sustainable lithium supply: A critical review

Towards Solid‐State Magnesium Batteries: Ligand‐Assisted Superionic Conductivity

“…[5,6] While there are some discussion on how the global lithium reserve can be utilized to meet the future demands, [7,8] the increasing lithium demand has increased prices significantly over the past two decades. [9] In order to decrease the price on batteries, technologies based on more abundant elements, such as magnesium, could be utilized, and can additionally result in an increased energy density. [10] A Mg-metal anode has a high volumetric capacity of 3833 mAh cm À 3 as compared to Li-graphite and Li-metal of 760 mAh cm À 3 and 2046 mAh cm À 3 , respectively.…”

Electro-Driven Materials and Processes for Lithium Recovery—A Review

“…The previous review published in 2021 dealt with lithium recovery through green electrochemical-battery approaches [ 29 ]. The authors focused on challenges for lithium extraction from battery wastes by the application of an electrochemical battery system employed with a lithium-capturing electrode for Li recovery [ 30 ].…”

“…The authors focused on challenges for lithium extraction from battery wastes by the application of an electrochemical battery system employed with a lithium-capturing electrode for Li recovery [ 30 ]. Another review, which was also published in 2021, dealt with challenges for lithium supply, focusing on the life cycle of lithium and its recovery following circular economy rules [ 29 ]. Moreover, Kader et al summarized the techniques of lithium recycling from lithium-ion batteries [ 31 ]…”

Antifluorite-type Na5FeO4 as a low-cost, environment-friendly cathode with combined cationic/anionic redox activity for sodium ion batteries: a first-principles investigation

“…2 Continued concerns about lithium resource availability could also allow SIBs to play a larger role in the future energy system, alleviating pressure on lithium where it is not required and further contribute to CRM independence. [3][4][5][6] Another topic that has generated a lot of interest in the academic community over the past decade is cathode materials that exhibit combined cationic and anionic redox activity. 7 In these materials, as Li + /Na + is removed from the compound during charging, there is a redox compensation not only from the oxidation of the transition metal, but also from a partial oxidation of an oxygen anion.…”
