Ideally, raw materials for CAM can be extracted near existing production facilities. Where that is not possible in the U.S. in the near term (due to permitting and other constraints), the industry must use a holistic sustainability lens and support sustainable mining practices in other parts of the world.
Ever since the commercialization of LIBs in 1991, [] the lithium-ion battery industry struggled with balancing cost, lithium resources, and energy density.This has led several materials to be the center of the LIB industry throughout the decades, such as Lithium Cobalt Oxide from the nineties to mid-2000s, to other Ni-containing materials such as LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2
New battery materials must simultaneously fulfil several criteria: long lifespan, low cost, long autonomy, very good safety performance, and high power and energy density. Another important criterion when selecting new materials is their environmental impact and sustainability. To minimize the environmental impact, the material should be easy to recycle and re-use, and be
