The United States generates more plastic trash than any other country – about 46.3 million tons of it -- or 287 pounds per person a year, according to a 2020 study.
Many emerging technologies related to sustainable energy, such as grid-scale energy storage systems and electric cars, require high-performance rechargeable batteries. Unfortunately, conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have almost reached their theoretical limit, and need to be supplanted by batteries with higher theoretical capacity and energy density.
Electric cars are the future; they will help reduce air pollution and end our dependence on fossil fuels. However, there is one glaring problem with this potentially disruptive technology: the availability of sufficient lithium (Li) to produce all these car batteries.
The presence of free water can fundamentally influence the flow properties of a powder. Depending on the hygroscopic properties of the material, water can act as a lubricant, an adhesive, or a mechanism for granulat...
