At the time, Rio Tinto said it will increase its lithium carbonate equivalent production capacity to over 200,000 metric tons (MT) annually by 2028. Lithium acquisitions are not new to Rio Tinto.

New research shows how coating a battery with a razor-thin layer of lithium borate-carbonate can lead to a 500% boost in charging rates when temperatures fall below freezing.

Key signals to watch include whether China’s overcapacity is absorbed, if regional demand for lithium carbonate grows, and whether battery and cathode manufacturing expands outside Asia. NRGI stresses ...

LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - Prices of battery materials lithium and cobalt assessed by consultancy Benchmark Minerals Intelligence (BMI) will be used for contracts launched by Intercontinental ...

In November 2024, Neptune Energy, under KBR’s guidance, produced its first technical-grade lithium carbonate from lithium chloride (LiCl), extracted through Geolith’s Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) ...
