Cobalt is a cornerstone material for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles, yet its global supply chain is increasingly ...

Whether ultramarine, cerulean, Egyptian or cobalt, blue pigments have colored artworks for centuries. Now, seemingly out of the blue, scientists have discovered a new blue pigment that uses less ...

A new battery material could offer a more sustainable way to power electric cars. The lithium-ion battery includes a cathode based on organic materials, instead of cobalt or nickel. Many electric ...

Cobalt is a cornerstone material for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles, yet its global supply chain is increasingly exposed to systemic ...

Research at Argonne reveals cobalt-free, manganese-rich batteries offer higher energy density and lower costs, transforming ...

Today's electric vehicles are predominantly powered by nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) lithium-ion batteries. However, the inclusion of cobalt in this type of batteries has been considered as ...

Cobalt is a critical material for the energy transition, with increased demand in recent years due to its essential role in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage and other ...
